Route guide: Bangalore to Nandi Hills
Nandi Hills is about 60 km north of Bangalore, past Kempegowda International Airport on NH-44. The Urbania turns off at the Nandi Hills road beyond Devanahalli and climbs a winding road with dozens of hairpin bends to the hilltop. The gate opens at 6 am, and on weekends a long queue of vehicles builds up before dawn, so sunrise groups leave the city between 4 and 4:30 am. At the top, the walk from the parking area to the sunrise point and Tipu's Drop takes about 15 minutes. On the way back, Bhoga Nandeeshwara Temple at the foot of the hill and Devanahalli Fort make easy additions.
Good stops on the way
- Devanahalli Fort
- Bhoga Nandeeshwara Temple
- Grover Zampa vineyard (pre-booked tours)
- Airport-road breakfast stops
