A Bengaluru techie turned his regular workday into a refreshing getaway by choosing to work from Chikkamagaluru. Taking to Instagram, the man, identified as Ankit, shared a video documenting his early morning drive from Bengaluru to the coffee land of Karnataka.
In the clip, Ankit said, “Bro, working from the office all the time gets so boring for all of us. That’s why I thought I’d work from Chikkamagaluru this week. So come with me to the coffee land of Karnataka.”
Early morning drive from Bengaluru
Ankit shared that he and his friend, whom he referred to as Sachiv ji, planned to leave for Chikkamagaluru on Friday morning as they had a standup meeting scheduled at 12 pm. To avoid Bengaluru’s traffic and save time, they started their journey at 4.30 am.
“On our way, we first took NH 44 and then NH 75. The benefit of leaving early in the morning is that you get to escape the city traffic and you save a lot of time,” he said.
