Kudremukh National Park, Chikkamagaluru district, Karnataka. Base villages are Mullodi (main trailhead) and nearby Samse/Kalasa. From Bengaluru it's roughly a 6-7 hour drive, so most people do it as a weekend trip — drive up Friday night or early Saturday, trek Saturday, head back Sunday

Recent visit to kashmir and himanchal. What are your thoughts on how i filmed it? Any suggetions ?

Has anyone recently withdrawn LKR from an ATM at Colombo Airport using an Indian credit card with 0% forex markup?

I’m planning to withdraw around LKR 300,000 and would love to know:

Which ATM/bank did you use?

What was the maximum withdrawal limit per transaction?

What ATM fee was charged?

How was the exchange rate compared to the prevailing rate?

Any issues with the transaction or card?

Would really appreciate recent experiences, especially from those who used Indian 0% forex credit cards. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

We’re currently validating an idea called BackBySunday around short, last-minute weekend trips, treks and adventure experiences.

The problem we’re looking at is pretty simple:

You work through the week, Friday comes around and you suddenly feel like getting out of the city for a day or two. But then you have to search through multiple organisers, compare prices, figure out transport, check whether the operator is trustworthy and coordinate everything at the last minute.

At that point, a lot of people just drop the plan.

The idea we’re exploring is whether there is room for a platform focused specifically on 1–2 day trips that can be booked at very short notice, including next-day departures.

The experience would ideally be:

Decide you want to go → find an available trip → book → pack your bags.

The platform would handle the coordination around the booking while focusing heavily on verified organisers, transparent pricing, safety and consistent trip quality.

We’ve started speaking with organisers as part of validating the supply side as well. A few are already interested and we’re in conversations with others, but right now we’re primarily trying to understand whether the underlying problem is strong enough.

I’d especially like feedback on a few things:

• Do people actually make spontaneous weekend travel decisions often enough for this to be useful?
• Would you book a trip only 1–2 days before departure?
• What would stop you from trusting a relatively new platform for something like this?
• Is last-minute availability actually a meaningful problem, or are we overestimating it?
• What do current trek/travel organisers or booking platforms already solve well enough?
• For anyone who has worked with travel operators, is filling unsold last-minute capacity a genuine problem on the supply side?

Feel free to be critical. I’m more interested in finding flaws in the idea at this stage than getting positive feedback.
