THE RETURN CLOCK
Back by dark.
From Bengaluru.
Home before the light goes. The map only keeps what still fits.
The Return Clock is not a distance filter with a prettier name. It is a wall-clock deadline. Back by dark uses sunset. Back by midnight keeps your own bed. Overnight is one night away — a real ceiling, not “anywhere.” The weekend drops the bound.
On these public pages, origin is Bengaluru, named. Live GPS belongs in the app. A share card that carries “56 km” without saying from where is a lie.
What still fits a same-day clock
Of the six places we publish, four still work if you leave on time: Gundamagere Lake (60 km), Rayakottai Fort (76 km), Muthathi (92 km), Ganalu Falls (98 km). Kakkadampoyil and Kinnakorai do not — those are overnight, and the pages say so.
The other presets
Midnight, overnight, and the whole weekend live in the app. This document is the same-day setting, because that is the query Bangalore actually types: one-day return, under three hours, back before dark.
