Manchanabele is one of the most attractive places to visit near Bengaluru. The place takes less than two hours to reach from the Garden City and is a perfect getaway for the ornithologists amongst us. The Manchanabele dam attracts a large number of birds of various sizes and shapes, which would bring in a large amount of happiness. The place is a hidden gem for those from Bengaluru as it has still not gained popularity and still remains one off the beaten track.
