First Journey - Nandhi Hills

Journey Date: 09 Nov '2008

After bringing Hunk to our friends family, we decided to check the performance. Since this being our first drive we don't want to take much risks, so we decided to go for a small ride to one of the famous gateways near Bangalore, Nandhi Hills. We, group of four guys decided to go for this ride, myself, Sakthi, Mohammad Ali and Thanimalai Raja.

Nandhi Hills, is about 65 kms from Bangalore, towards the Bangalore's New Airport 'Devanahalli'. We started at around 12.30 PM from Hulimavu gate, and reached Nandhi hills around 1.45 PM. Drive carefully during uphill, since some of the curves are steep and the road is not that great.

There was a Karnataka's Govt Restaurant, we had our lunch there. It wasn't that great, so prepare take your own food while driving there.

Then started our sight seeing. You can't expect a lot in Nandhi hills, but this place is a decent place for a weekend gateway. The views from the hill is amazing. You can see the roads, which you have droven to reach there. If you are interested, you can do a little treking. It won't be a big own. Nandhi hills is all about a fort which was built by Tippu Sultan.

You can look for the following in Nandhi Hills:
  • Nandhi temple - This is not maintained well.
  • Source of River - Palar. When we went there was no water, so we are not able to see that.
