Ruppis Hotel & Resort

Ruppis Hotel & Resort is out toward Mysore Road, near the Big Banyan Tree. It’s a bit of a drive from the main city, but that’s why people come out here. Bellalu Village is a quiet area, and being near the tree makes it easy for people to find us. We have a lot of space, which you don't get in the middle of Bangalore. It’s more of a place where families come on a Saturday or Sunday to let the kids run around. We have rooms and some open areas for people to sit. It’s not a shiny, high-end resort with marble everywhere. It’s more like a big garden with rooms. We get a lot of groups who want to stay away from the noise. The road can be a bit dusty sometimes because of the construction nearby, but once you get inside, it’s alright. We handle a lot of the work ourselves, from checking people in to making sure the grounds are okay. Sometimes the monkeys from the Big Banyan Tree come around, which can be a surprise for some guests. We just tell them to keep their food inside. It’s a simple life out here. We aren't trying to be the most famous place in the world, just a spot for people to rest near the village. We just focus on keeping the place running and the grass cut.
