Ride to Nandi hills

Last saturday I, Naveen, Karthik & Rohit went for a ride to nandi hills, almost 65 kms away from Bangalore. We started from Blr at around 6:30 in the morning and reached there by around 8. We went in three bikes. Naveen & Karthik in the Royal Enfield thunderbird, Rohit in his Honda unicorn and me in my Bajaj platina. Interestingly, this is the first time i took my bike for the weekend ride. The road was good and it was exciting to ride through the hair pins while going up the hill ( which my bike managed to do easily).

Once you reach there, you find Tippu Sultan's fort. Tippu Sultan constructed his fort here and used this place as his summer resting place. The climate was cool and as we reached the top, i found that there was nothing much except a temple and some good sceneries (and monkeys). If you are interested in photography and if you have a good camera, then you can go click around.

Riding down the hill was fun as we switched off the engine and were riding in neutral (except Rohit who was riding with his engine switched on). We reached Bangalore at around 12 noon.

Overall, it was a good experience. We enjoyed the ride, we enjoyed the climate, we enjoyed the place and were happy to know that nandi hills is a hill with a history behind.
