Are you saturated with the mixture of work, traffic to and fro from work, and finishing your daily errands? Has the monotonous life hit you? Are you tired of just seeing cars and buildings all around? Well, here is the best place to go to to take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life without worrying about the Covid-19.

If you live in Bangalore, you know the dreadful feeling of going through all that traffic to sit on the chair for 7–8 hours continuously, every single day. Escape from the reality for a bit and visit a great 2-day getaway at Tenpy. A cozy cabin in the middle of nowhere with nothing but greenery around you. This is a great place to go to for relaxation with 3 people at max.

Book a car at Wow Carz, and begin your memorable road trip. Drive up to the roads of Ragihalli Forest and into the woods to enjoy an unforgettable view. The road to the cabin is about 7 kilometers long and is going to be a bumpy ride. But not to worry! The cars at Wow Carz ensure 100% safety throughout the journey and you will not face any problem. Also, you need not be worried about the hygiene maintenance, as they deliver the cars only after they are squeaky clean inside and out. And also, they never forget to miss cleaning the cars after a customer has returned it.

Once you reach Tenpy, take a look around. Breathe in the fresh air and let go of all the stress. Let the tension built up in you fly into the air as you are mesmerized by the enchanting view.

The walk to the cabin will take about 2–3 minutes. The cabin is kept extremely clean and is sanitize every time a customer checks out. Once you enter the cozy cabin, I would suggest you freshen up and go for a trek immediately.

Walkthrough the 100 different shades of green as you hear the pleasant sound of crickets and the dancing of the leaves. Feel the mildly-cold air caressing your skin as you walk to the elephant pond and catch a glimpse of some beautiful birds. Continue your trek and enter the dog park if you’re bringing your dog along. They will love it there! It’s the best place to run around and get muddy!

Stand in silence as you witness the gorgeous sunset. Close your eyes and let nature seep into your soul. Once you head back to the cabin, you can either make your own food or request the staff to cook up a meal (vegetarian and non-vegetarian). If you are fortunate enough and it doesn’t rain, then you can cozy yourself in a blanket around the campfire and have your meal.

We are expected to check out by 12pm the next day, so I would suggest you finish your packing the previous night itself.

Go for an early morning walk on the day of the checkout. The chilly fresh weather will surely wake you up. The moist ground and enlightening air will act as a catalyst for making you want to walk more and more. Take a stroll through the trees and climb the hills. Trust me, the view you are going to embark upon once you come to the end of your walk will be a thousand times worth it.

Come back from the walk and enjoy a hot breakfast with the view of the elephant pond. You’re not going to hear this every day nor are you going to get a view like this for a long time again! So make the most out of the time that you have there.

You can rent a car for 24 hours at Wow Carz, so you won't have to worry about the journey back home. Once your booking hours come to an end, you can either drop off the vehicle at the office or you can place a car pick-up order, and a member from the fleet team will come and pick it up. This option actually helped my friends and me a lot, as it saved us time and money which would have gone into the travel once we dropped off the vehicle.

Altogether, it was a great experience. This was the perfect getaway destination under a student budget. We enjoyed our time at Tenpy and it was a great place to go after being at home for almost 10 months due to the pandemic. You should visit there sometime too!!
