You don’t have
to go to Ooty, Munnar,
Kodaikanal or Western ghats to trek, you have the same
geography near Bangalore.
About the place -
Need a break from the heat
and dust of the plains? Welcome to the Nandi Hills one of the
hill resorts of Karnataka. Standing 1,478 meters above sea
level Nandi hill is Bangalore 's own hill station. It was Tipu
Sultan's summer retreat and Tipu's fort walls still stand as
testimony to history. The Nandi Hills or the hills of the
Nandi have been named after the bull of Lord
Shiva Nandi Hills is a small hill range near Bangalore.
Its claim to fame is the beautiful climate all year round. The
pleasant hill resort of Nandi Hills is also known as Nandigiri
or Nandidurga amongst the locals, it is wonderfully cool in
the Nandi
Hills. So, many tourists head to this beautiful hill
station (unlucky
ones don’t know the trek route and so travel by road).
