$1,500 is pretty good for India. Bangalore is a good choice. Outdoor Activity is pretty accessible .. 3-6 hrs drives. The city is pretty crowded. But, English and vibrant software crowd can make it a good choice.

since you mentioned outdoor/hiking, if you do end up choosing Bangalore (name changed as Bengaluru now), check out Bangalore Trekking Club[1] - I did many treks and social events like tree plantation, blood donation, hill clean up, etc with them while I was in Bengaluru. Apart from many hills surrounding the city, you can lookout for trips to lush green Western ghats, Himalayas, etc. The best part is the club is non-profit and even trek organizers pay out of their pocket to share all the costs
