The hot summer cross country bike ride!! The BW3Rocks came together once again to finish the unfinished terrain, the Nandi Hills.
After much postponement and lots of fight :) , we packed our bag on a Saturday morning to head on Hyderabad road. The ride began at 8:15am after a quick breakfast at Upahara Sagar. We exited the city on the new airport road. To our surprise the road is widened to accommodate airport traffic. With a bit of confusion we made a quick visit to the new Airport. A neat infrastructure project to see from outside. We just made a fly-by visit and joined the Hyderabad road to head to Nandi Hills. The heat just started to rise and taking a toll on our skin!!
We reached Nandi Hills at 11am (84km). There is provision to park the bike inside, bu we thought it better to keep the bike outside. After taking a entry ticket we headed on barefoot to reach the top of the Hill. A temple dedicated to lord Narasimha is located at the center. After the divine darshan we spent some time on the edge of the hill that is facing the B'lore city(i suppose so). We also visited the Tippu drop, where the thief were pushed to death, in Tippus time!! We almost reached the edge, where according to guide it is up to 1000ft. There is a guest house of Tippu Sultan at the entrance of Nandi Hills.
We left the Hills at 12:30pm. We headed to to Ghati Subrahmanya. We choose a interior road to save the distance. We reached Ghati Subrahmanya temple at 2:15pm (29km from Nandi) Lord Subrahmanya and Lord Narasimha are carved on the same stone back to back, Subrahmanya being on the front. A mirror is used to see the Lord Narasimha. After spending few time we headed back to B'lore via Doddaballapur. We stopped at a hotel near Yalahanka to have lunch. Finally, reached Namma Bengaluru at 6:15pm with tanned skin!!

Hi There,
Nice and informative blog. Me and my hubbie are planning to visit Nandi Betta on our kinetic. I was wondering if the hill roads were safe to ride as I will be riding in parts. Did you guys switch off the engine downhill? Need some tips.
Regards,
Kusum
