The long weekend is just around the corner and if you are breaking your brains about how to make it special for your little one, then KSPÂ will sure be your saviour. Apart from pubs and nightlife, Bengaluru also has a whole lot of one-day getaways, which will let you spend quality time with your family, without burning a hole in your pocket. One such place that I thoroughly enjoyed with my family was Bheemeshwari. From rafting to soaking in the sun and staying in jungle lodges, here’s all that will make you want to plan a trip here!
