Nandi Hills Trekking Reviews

M

Mohan

Excellent

It is a nice experience. If there is no direct bus from Bangalore to Nandi Hills then take a bus/Train to Chikkaballapur (or Doddaballapur) from there take a bus to Doddaballapur ( or Chikkaballapur) and get down at Nandi Hill Cross. Nandi hill cross is in between Chikkaballapur and Doddaballapur from here you can get a shared Auto to the top of the hill. It was a memorable movement.💖💖

Excellent

Nandi Hills is famous for its iconic sunrise and cloud-cladded hilltop. But with this beauty come too many visitors (I mean too many is an understatement). If you go on a weekend and reach anytime after 5:30 AM, chances are that you may have to come back from the foothill only. It has no crowd management whatsoever and on top of it, crazy drivers push their cars in every nook n Corner. Go there on weekends and come back with anger, anguish, and a tired body. such a nice trek.💖

Nandi Hills is one of the most common names among Bengalurians for a quick refreshing weekend break. For years this has remained the most sought-after location for a family picnic, couples spending some leisure time, bikers, trekkers, cyclists, joggers, and travel enthusiasts.
