Discover spirituality and nature on a day trip from Bangalore. Visit the serene Dzogchen Monastery in Kollegal and the scenic Shivanasamudram Falls for a peaceful and enriching experience.
Embark on a rejuvenating day tour from Bangalore that beautifully blends spirituality, scenic beauty, and cultural discovery. This guided journey takes you to the tranquil Dzogchen Monastery in Kollegal and the spectacular Shivanasamudram Falls, two of Karnataka’s most serene and inspiring destinations.
Your day begins early with a comfortable drive through the lush countryside and misty hills of southern Karnataka. En route, enjoy views of green fields, coconut plantations, and small traditional villages before reaching Dzogchen Monastery, one of the most prominent Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in South India.
Founded under the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, Dzogchen Monastery is a peaceful spiritual retreat that embodies the teachings of compassion, mindfulness, and enlightenment. Explore its beautiful architecture adorned with intricate murals, golden Buddha statues, and prayer wheels that create an atmosphere of calm and devotion. Witness monks engaged in prayers and chanting, and gain insight into Tibetan monastic life and meditation practices from your guide.
After this spiritually uplifting visit, continue your journey to the breathtaking Shivanasamudram Falls, nestled on the banks of the River Cauvery. Here, the river splits into two magnificent cascades — Gaganachukki and Barachukki — plunging dramatically into the valley below. The sound of rushing water, misty spray, and lush greenery make it a paradise for nature lovers and photographers alike.
Savor a delicious South Indian lunch en route and enjoy some leisure time soaking in the beauty of the falls before returning to Bangalore by evening.
