How to reach the venue

  • By Air

    The nearest airport is Kempegowda International Airport (BLR), approximately 55–60 km from the venue — roughly 40–50 minutes by road depending on traffic. We recommend booking a cab or pre-arranged taxi from the airport directly to the venue.

  • By Train

    The nearest railway station is Chikkaballapur, from where you can take a cab or taxi to Nandi Hills. Another option to take a train would be till Bangalore's Kempegowda station. From there, it's a cab ride to the venue.

  • By Road

    Amita Rasa is about 1.5–2 hours from central Bangalore by car. Cabs via Ola or Uber are readily available, or you can arrange a rental car. The route via NH 44 (Bellary Road) is the most straightforward.

While you’re in Bangalore…

  • Bangalore's food scene is one of India's best. Start with a proper South Indian breakfast — idli, vada, filter coffee — at any old-school darshini. Then work your way up to the newer restaurants in Indiranagar and Koramangala for everything from craft beer to wood-fired pizza.

  • For fabrics, bangles, sarees, and everything in between, Commercial Street and Chickpet are unmissable. Budget more time than you think you need — and more money too!

  • Two beautiful green lungs in the middle of the city. Lalbagh has a 200-year-old botanical garden and a famous glass house. Cubbon Park is perfect for an early morning walk before the city wakes up.

  • Since you're already coming to Nandi Hills for the wedding — why not plan to catch the sunrise? It's one of the most stunning views in Karnataka, especially on a clear December morning.

  • Bangalore was India's craft beer pioneer and still does it best. Toit, Arbor Brewing, and Brewsky are institutions. For coffee, Third Wave Coffee and Blue Tokai are great shouts.
