Team Outing outside Bangalore.
One thing we always do or should look forward to doing at least once a day is to find time for ourselves, away from all the electronic and technology devices, people. It could be a 10 minute evening walk, it could be a solo trip, it could also be a breather during a corporate day outing in Bangalore with your team. Take your pick to have
Simply, it could be as simple as to sit down, relax, and take a series of deep breaths and empty our minds of all the stress, indecisions, wrong decisions, confusion, anger, paranoia, or any other unwarranted mental states our work or personal lives put us through. Evidently, it is easier said then done and almost paradoxical that you are reading this blog about team outing outside Bangalore on a device, asking you stay away from electronics and give some time to yourself.
I’d like to bring to light the power of deep breaths and just how under rated it is in our present culture. The simple practise that has been approved by scientists for managing stress and is imbedded in the Indian culture for centuries, is not paid attention to, especially by millenials.

It is no doubt that breathing is the most essential natural resources for our life. One can go without food and water but not oxygen. Our lives depend on it. It continuously provides us energy. Deep Breathing calms our nerves. For something that directly affects our lives, we hardly pay attention to the way we breathe. Deep breathing, of all only requires minimum physical efforts and provides maximum benefits in return.
Why you should head out to a Resort outside Bangalore.
In times where our focus is constantly taking a downward route, stepping out especially in places with fresh air helps us focus, improves our respiratory system and digestion and gives us the ability to communicate with our colleagues clearly at work. Mental health practitioners often advice people to take a weekend off and travel some place quiet that is fueled with alcohol and smoky crowd.
Touching upon the earlier topic once again, breathing exercise is most important for people working in corporates spaces given the amount of stress and questionable working hours they put themselves through. Not to mention the strategic over the top meetings after the working hours that go on for a long time.
Our generation has been fighting anxiety and responding to stress poorly because of limited awareness of deep breathing among other things. While I also understand it does not work all the time or on acute cases, it sure does help reduce the effect in some situations. Practising deep breathing daily at the same time evokes a form of habit that eventually becomes a ritual like brushing our teeth and drinking water.
It not only helps us physically but also psychologically by cutting down negative thoughts and develops mindfulness. Doing it in a comfortable space enhances the experience, but finding a right guide that can show way to your feelings and emotions is the key. It can be a song, an image in your mind or a frame in your room or a more comfortable place outside Bangalore.
When should you go to a resort outside Bangalore?
- There are several occasions that call for celebration of a small or large family gathering or corporate event outside Bangalore because teams need a day outings, a night stay, and camping. And for individuals, there are similar reasons to celebrate and spend some quality time by themselves, in the lap of nature, playing, strolling, or developing a new habit to help their cognitive abilities in day to day lives. A lot of men and women, especially who work in corporate environments who are still working from home tend to have become short tempered, grumpy, and irrational in their approach because they still struggle to separate work and personal life.
- Maybe a resort outside Bangalore which is close to nature and brings the quiet you need to claim the lost focus is the need of the hour to make your coming week or month worth surviving. Good Resorts near Bangalore have strict Covid-19 policy that allows them to enable only a percentage of guests, making most of them a peaceful place for employees, friends, or a group of family members looking for a hide out away from the weekend.
Keep in mind, if you are visiting to any the places for a peace of mind while practicing yoga and meditating, you have to do it regularly in order to for it to be effective and fruitful. Places might play an important role in alleviating the process. A lot of these places have a separate yoga and meditation centre. However, these places listed below are close to nature, giving you a natural ingredient or a way out to keep your mental health in check.
Let’s take s look at a couple of resorts that affect you and alleviate your mood from the moment you step in:
The Gari Resort.
Address: No 211 Banandur village, Ittmadu Post, Bidadi, Karnataka 562109.
Resorts are plenty in Bangalore and its outskirts but very few resorts compliment your expectations and need of the time. Gari Resort is a special place for those looking for fun and games and also wish to have some quality time with themselves and their thoughts.
Whatever 2020 threw at us deserves nothing but compassion towards ourselves for not budging and continuing work to remotely when things got out of control. Travelling is just like deep breathing, you might not realise the change in you quickly but as you continue doing it regularly, you will notice you have been able to cope with stress and anxiety of work.
The Gari Resort is a perfect place to practice mindfulness. It is located between coconut groves and green meadows, a perfect location to let our negative thoughts to fade away. Scientists say that our minds’ response to geographic locations can influence our decision making abilities. The cluttering of an organised mind majorly contains the repetitive tasks and chores and a few other thoughts and ideas that have not found a home in your mind due to the already occupied space.
Just like you attend your gmail and delete/archive emails that aren’t important, travelling to a place like Gari Resort gives gives you an opportunity to declutter your mind and allow new ideas to free flow. A weekend getaway with your family and corporate colleagues to self reflect and have deep conversations over a bonfire at nights. It works!

The Cassava Resort.

Cassava is easily the one of the best resorts in South Bangalore. It is a repository of positive vibes and fun times which you don’t have to stress over in case you make up your mind to visit the place. Pack a pair of swimming clothes along with a few extra clothing, and hop on your bike or a get on your car. It is not that far from Bangalore and has enough picturesque scenery to elicit mindfulness.
Many a times we look for things we don’t need in places we don’t need to go. Visiting a meditation centre in a resort near Bangalore once in a while is always a smart idea but going there every weekend could be expensive and time consuming. Visiting places that offer you a wholesome experience can have a completely different affect in you an your office colleagues. Cassava Resort brings all the experiences packed in one.
Beat the heat with the A/C accommodations during your visit at the one of the most sought after budget resorts in Bangalore. And, ruminate over the human existence while soaking in the silver moonlight and staring at the constellations that give meaning to our lives. Let the quiet of the night consume you so you can hear the nocturnal birds chirps softly and the fragrant nightingales play a soulful concert for your nostrils.
Corporate team building activites in resorts near Bangalore are often conducted to bring the employees close to each other professionally at their workplace. In fact, anything you do with your team becomes a team building exercise and a way to know your team mates more closely. Similarly, if the place is specifically designed to cover team building activities on its own then it surely makes for a perfect weekend getaway for teams.
