A 2-3 day team offsite itinerary for Devanahalli

The location sits right next to Kempegowda International Airport, which means outstation colleagues can fly in and join without a long transfer. The area has a mix of farm stays, mid-scale resorts, and heritage properties, so you are not limited to one type of venue. Costs here tend to be noticeably lower than Coorg or Chikmagalur, and you lose very little travel time. For a 2 day trip, that matters.

Day 1: Teams leave office by noon. Check in by 2 pm. Run your strategy session or workshop in the afternoon, roughly 3 hours. Evening is a bonding activity, archery, a farm walk, or a cooking session depending on venue. Dinner together, open bar or otherwise, your call. Day 2: Morning team activity, cycling, a short nature trail, or a structured game. Lunch, then a half-day session for reviews or planning. Checkout by 4 pm and most people are back home by 6 pm.

Add a full free day in the middle. Use it for a Nandi Hills sunrise drive in the morning, about 15 kilometres from Devanahalli, then an unstructured afternoon. Some teams use this for informal one-on-ones or just genuine downtime. Evening can be a team dinner with some entertainment, a live musician or a quiz night. The third day follows the same pattern as Day 2 in the 2 day plan. Three days gives you space for both serious work sessions and actual rest, which is what most teams need but rarely plan for.

Farm stays typically run from 2,500 to 4,500 per person per night on a full board basis. Mid-scale resorts with conference facilities are in the 4,000 to 7,000 range. A few boutique heritage properties exist closer to 8,000 to 12,000 per person per night and are worth it for senior leadership trips. Most venues will negotiate on room rates if you are booking 20 or more rooms. Always ask for a dedicated conference room to be included, some properties charge it separately and it adds up.
