Lovely trip...

Six souls were dancing in hearts to the nature's tune.
The eagerness of visiting a new place was so fond.
Bike ride on NH7 was definitely a new feel.
Pleasant climate was slowly corroding the mind with happiness.

No further explanation required to say what I am talking about...

You guessed it right.. Nandi hills trip on 21-june-2008.

Myths of new airport road being highly crowded was proven wrong.
Because we started at 5 '0'clock in the morning :-)..

Absolutely, the Bengalooru highways welcomed us with comfortable ride & serene surroundings.

First stunning beauty in the very morning was the Hebbal flyover.

After a while, for the first time, we saw couple of steel birds flying from Devanahalli International airport.
As we traveled further, we took a state highway towards Nandi hills (13°20′N, 77°39′E) on the west.


We could see the hilltop surrounded by clouds at a farther distance... like the ones what movies shows as heaven.

In couple of minutes ride, we reached the foothills and then began the ascending ride to the top.

As you climb, you start realising about the climate-suspense waiting for you. Its a splendid, gradual change.

The first group of people we saw was a BSF company doing a routine training in the hills. Probably, you may see more army and BSF activity in the weekdays.

Nandi hills welcomed us with a fort structure in place at the entrance.

Greenery all around, merry time for the mind. Shelled-out a few bucks for parking and entrance fee.
Long ago, Lord Cubbon had been using it as a resort and you could see the bungalow there.
No doubt about the beauty of the place, well maintained lawns, flower gardens, rocks, little temple, astonishingly a post office and describing what you see there is only limited to the vision of your mind.

Cute little place, but still worthy to spend a few hours there.
Poor-man's paradise in Bangalore.

Connectivity by public transport isn't that good.
You have KSTDC hotel for boarding and lodging.

If at all you are planning to be there, pack yourself with a few badminton rackets for unlimited fun.

The mother earth really blessed us Godspeed.
Nandi hills is still green in our minds.
