Nandi Hills

Nandi Hills or Nandidurga is precisely a popular trekking destination near Bangalore and a convenient location for a smooth weekend getaway. It gets its name from the ancient Nandi or sacred bull which is meant to be the sacred mount of Lord Shiva. It was one of the mighty Tipu's summer retreats. There are about 1,200 steps laid from the foot of the hill to reach the top.

Bhoga Nandishwara Temple located at the foot of the hills is a must see place that homes a 1000-year-old sculpture of Nandi.
