Bangalore - Nandi Hills Bengaluru

I reached bangalore on 12th June 2008, on transfer. Spent week's time in settling up and another week's time in digging up friends in bangalore. I have been in bangalore for 3-4 months in year 2003-04, so knew little bit not aware of places properly.

On 19th July went to movie Jane Tu Ya Jaane Na at Innovative with one of my oldest friend, shailendra. Had great fun in theatre, I found my self clapping and some times laughing lound. Something which I did after years in theatre. Movie was late night show so woke up late next day.

Sunday July20th, 2008, got a call from shailendra around 1030 hrs...He was looking for a small ride. It had been a long time to there was no way I could deny it. I readly agreed, as it was already late and sunday too, we decided to make a trip to Nandi Hills (actually he only decided i had no idea about palce and it's distance). It's approximately 65 KM from bangalore on HYD highway. Shailendra called up some of friends and frist two calls only fetched two pillions.



@ 1130 hrs we started to make it to the Nandi Hills. It was too late for bike rides. We had to go through full traffic on road with penetrating sun rays. Digicam battries were not charges so had to search a number of places for dura cells as trip wasn't planned and popped from morning chitchat...trip was short but enjoyable...The road which takes you from highway to the Nandi Hills is not at all maintained. You'll see a lot of potholes. Anyway enjoying the finding the best way to reduce the jerks we reached the Nandi Hills. Roamed around in garden, the main attraction of Nandi Hills is an Old temple at the top of Hill. Beautifully crafted and quite an old construct.

Be careful with the monkeys on the hill. There are many and are fearless, won't hesitate in taking food from your hands.

While coming back saw the new airport too..it is on a diversion from highway...the whole stretch is awesome with two circles in between...I bet it is the best road stretch available in bangalore...The smoothness and cleanlyness is commendable...though it was a short stretch but had great fun in bending and leaning at curves...Picks are less as it wasn't planned and battries were not prepared, but I could collect many images in my brain...
