Following
destinations are accessible from Bangalore by
a train for a getaway.
Mysore
at 150 kms from Bangalore is conveniently accessible
by Shatabdi express for a day visit for a 1 night
/ 2 days getaway. Mysore is visited for its Mysore
Palace and Vrindavan Gardens by tourists all over
the India when they visit the sector. However
more than a destination ex-Bangalore, it serves
as a base point to access areas around it such
as Coorg region (known for its coffee plantations
and known to be "Scotland of India")
and wildlife destinations of Nagarhole (80 kms),
Bandipur(80 kms) and Mudumalai (100 kms). Nagarhole
is one of the best managed park and has wildlife
aplenty, however tiger sightings are not as many.
Bandipur is better when it comes to Tiger sightings.
In Mudumalai one can trek around, do night safaris
(Mysore - Ooty highway passes through the sanctuary
and has plenty of wildlife sightings on offer).
