Nandi Hills
Arguably the Bangalorean’s favourite getaway, Nandi Hills has temples, trekking trails and even a fort. Located 1,478 m above sea level, it has an enviably pleasant climate throughout the year, which made it a popular summer retreat of the British as well as of local rulers such as Tipu Sultan. Stop to admire the scenery from the 600 m vantage point called Tipu’s Drop, from where, according to fable, Tipu had condemned prisoners pushed to their death!
Distance: 60 km.
Direction: Take NH 7 out of Bangalore past Yelahanka and Devanahalli, take a left at Betta Cross and head up to Nandi Hills.
