Pause On Pandal-Hopping: Try These 7 Fun Things Instead With Your Fam & Friends
Paintball With The Squad
So you've waded through the crowds enough these last three days and all you're craving is a relaxed vibe to unwind with your squad. We suggest heading out to The Breakout for a day of fun. Get your buds together and head here for a fab game of paintball. You have to buy individual pellets for your games – you’ll need a lot more than you think (around 85 pellets will get you through a game). So make sure you are well stocked. Remember to make booking before you go, though.
Pujo Bhoj With The Whole Fam
You've been eating out since Panchami, but haven't been around to take your family out for a Pujo bhoj yet? No worries, there's still a few days left before Dashami comes around. Most of the Bengali food joints will be overflowing. Head to Sonar Tori for a sumptuous meal in an atmospheric zamindari setting. But if you are aiming for something more lavish, head to Sonargaon or JW Marriott for an incredible buffet. Another place worth checking out is Flurys that is bringing back the lost gems of Bengali cuisine in their Pujo special spread.
Go Ice Skating With The Gang
Golfing With Fam
Want a day out with the fam away from the hustle bustle of the city, but not too far off? We suggest heading to Eco Park in New Town for a lazy morning of golf and relaxation. You can carry your kit if you have one or hire one from the golf course (and a trainer too). Get your sibling and parents for the game, while grandparents can laze it out on the lush green acre sipping on excellent tea. Better yet, while you sweat it out on the course you can also load up on Bangalore's fave Arthur's Food Co.'s finest pork cuts! And all this within INR 500!
Football Match With The Buds
You may know that EPL and Champions League is on in full form, and you and your crew may have been itching for a good game of football. If the crowd and the pandals have been stopping you from having one, then head to Sky Turf or Street Turf to get your game on. Rooftop arenas with astro turf and state-of-the-art equipment, these places are perfect for a quality game.
