A trip to Nandi Hills

It was a mourning ceremony for the defeat of Brazil against France but in a different place and in a different style. This trip to Nandi hills, 60 kms far from Bangalore could be named as craziest plan ever made. We started immediately after the match and reached at 5 in the morning and I was told that we are not the only crazy people living in Bangalore. To everyone 's surprise, the place at that time was awesome with the showers of mist in the dark and the stereo systems of the parked cars breaking the silence and people sitting in front of camp fire waiting for the guard to open the main gate .

Though a place to have a view of the sunrise, no one had regrets of it showing up very late. May be we should plan for another trip in summer to have a view of its beauty. The hills had nothing in special but a couple of bungalows surrounded by beautiful gardens with flowers of different colours in it , a view point named as "tippu drop" where you can feel the wind flowing at heavy speed and also a nandi temple( sorry, didnt get into that). Yes, there is a restaurant too to fill your stomach with bread toasts, omlettes and teas.


After few hours, our eyes reminded us that we didnt sleep through the night and its high time for us to get back to home. Finally, it was all fun as my camera got loaded with some great shots of nature's beauty for the first time.
