Feel like going on a picnic? While you may not find lush woods right in the city, you can drive out to the Big Banyan Tree off Mysore Road for a merry day, Enid Blyton-style. This tree is over 400 years old and covers three acres, and the government has enclosed the space to turn it into a shaded park. Drive 10 kilometres further down the same road to catch a glimpse at the stunning Manchanabele reservoir, though access to the banks is restricted.

Driving time: 1 hour 10 minutes {approx}
