A Forest Setting Just off Bannerghatta Road

RD's Nature Retreat is located in Shivanahalli Village on Bannerghatta Road, about 32 km from Bangalore's city centre. The route avoids the worst of South Bangalore traffic if your team leaves the city by 8:30 AM.

Our resort spans more than 20 acres of forest, with over 5,678 trees, open lawns, a lake, and adventure trails set into the wilderness.

The route works fastest from the south and east of the city:

  • Closest Hubs such as Electronic City and Bommanahalli, with a direct South Bangalore run

  • Outer Ring Road and Marathahalli, via the south leg of ORR

  • Koramangala, BTM Layout, JP Nagar, direct via Bannerghatta Road

  • MG Road and the Central Business District, via Hosur Road and NICE Road

  • Whitefield is the longest run; allow extra time for ORR traffic
