Offsites in Nandi Hills for large teams (100+)

Your main options are the larger resort properties around Nandi Hills Road and Karahalli Cross. Properties like Club Cabana, Mayura Pine Top (KSTDC), and a few private resorts can take large groups, but capacity for accommodation and capacity for a conference or team activity are different numbers. Confirm both separately. Most resorts in this area cap comfortable overnight accommodation at 80 to 120 guests, so for groups above 120 you may need to block two adjacent properties or run a day-outing format instead of an overnight stay.

Bus is the standard answer. A 45-seater Volvo or Tempo Traveller convoy is predictable and keeps the group together. Budget roughly Rs 12,000 to Rs 18,000 per vehicle for a day-trip from Bangalore, depending on the operator and the pickup points. For 100 people you are looking at three buses minimum. Coordinate a single pickup point or at most two, preferably Electronic City, Whitefield, or a central MG Road area stop, to keep the schedule clean.

Outdoor activities at Nandi Hills suit groups well because there is natural terrain and most resorts have open grounds. Team sports like cricket, volleyball and tug of war are easy to run with 100 people split into groups. For structured team-building, a good facilitator can run station-based activities across the property simultaneously, which avoids everyone waiting in one queue. Confirm with the venue that the grounds are flat enough and shaded enough for outdoor activity in the months you are planning.

For a day outing with meals, activities and transport, a realistic per-head budget for a group of 100 from Bangalore is Rs 2,500 to Rs 4,500 depending on the resort and the meal plan. This includes vegetarian buffet lunch and tea breaks. Non-vegetarian options and alcohol add to the cost and some properties charge a corkage fee if you bring your own.
