Nandi Hills

Nandi Hills, an ancient hill fortress is about 60 kms from Bangalore used to be a retreat for the British and now Bangaloreans. Blessed with an amazing climate at the top of the hill pulls in a lot of people right from horticulturists to students to serious photography enthusiasts. Apart from a lot of things that Nandi hills is known for, the most interesting that has amazed me is the Tipu's drop (where Tippu Sultan threw his condemned prisoners to death) and the Secret Escape Route.

I have been to Nandi hills a lot of times and this place has always amazed me with its morning beauty. The best time I think is to go during the monsoon season, the climate at the hill is pretty clear and humid however the morning sunrise through the clounds is breathtaking.

Nandi hills is pretty much covered in mist or fog for about 8-9 months in the year (thanks to global warming, summers are absolutely clear and filled wiht haze). The trees, benches and flowers covered in mist is worht the sight. The temperatures are pretty low with the constant breeze sending you goose bumps all over.

Nandi hills has been a sight worth the visit every time I have come here. Its one place where I would keep coming back to capture the magical morning landscapes, beautiful flora and some macro photography.

Had a great time with Chitresh, Jatin, Souparna, Sujith, Megha and Yachna this time.  Yachna & Megha I know you people were completely bugged and bored given that 4:30 AM was a little to early.
Souparna, got to go climb that tower once again and yes with your batteries charged and my camera out.  I was just stunned with the view from up there.  Sujith, I think June/July should be the earliest possible time for some good amount of fog.  Jatin, thanks for the pose, some people found it funny but I loved it and its Christelle's blackberry wallpaper.
