Foggy, dreamy and Magical place ✨🔮 Not advisable to visit at summer. Food and water facility is available at the ticket collecting center as well as at the top of the hills. Parking can be bit tricky ever since covid protocols have come to existence.

Too much crowded. We started our journey at 4:00 AM & still got stuck in a never-ending jam. Almost waited for 1.45 hours before reaching the parking ticket spot. Always go via 2 wheeler & more early morning.

This is one of the big hills in Bangalore with 1700 feet high and towards north side of Bangalore. It's greenery and biodiversity is well balanced and maintained. The road from Bangalore airport is good, but you will have to wait to enter due to shortage of parking space. The early morning sunrise view is the best to witness. Lots of birds and snakes to watch out for. You can spend half a day here at ease. For courts are there with some good options as well.

Nandi Hills is a hidden paradise! This place is pure bliss with its stunning hillscapes and intriguing historic caves. The journey to the top is like a scenic adventure, unfolding layers of natural beauty that leave you in awe. The panoramic views from the summit are nothing short of magical, it's like nature's own masterpiece. The historic caves add a touch of mystery, making the visit more than just a sightseeing trip.

There are also public restrooms available, but they may not always be well-maintained.

The ideal time to enjoy the surreal beauty of Nandi Hills is during winters, starting from September which stretches till February. The weather is pleasant around this time and the View is Awesome 👌☃️

Awesome view and nice getaways with family especially with kids.. Lots and lots of hungry 🐒, we saw one monkey crying with hunger.. Kids loved the view and they were so happy and were not ready to come back.. Cool breeze and nature at its best. No words to express beauty of nature. Now they are not allowing vehicles to the top, need to park down and climb steps to get up to the top.

A very nice place but you have to pick and choose the time to go because if you go at the wrong time you won't be able to enjoy this place. First of all avoiding the weekend would be a very wise decision. The crowd is way too much in the weekend, you just won't be able to enjoy the place in peace. Also in summers the daytime is just too hot and sucks your energy. Best time would be in monsoon followed by winters. Weekdays would be preferable as the crowd will be less. Morning is the best time to go, though I feel in monsoon you can go anytime. So overall if you pick a right time, this is a lovely place else it just feels like another place with lots of people. The road to reach there is absolutely beautiful and high quality. It hardly takes an hour or so to reach the hills. Ample parking is available. Also I guess there is a route via treking to reach at the top which could be explored.

They opening the gate too late these days like after 6 am issuing parking ticket at checkpost it self that takes time even more like 1 hour total you'll reach my 7 or 7.30 am at view point. Doesn't matter you come early in the morning or just in the morning.. total disappointed by the service of local police and forest department or Karnataka tourism department.

One of the most famous getaway destination for the people around bangalore. The hill station attracts a lot of tourists on a daily basis and most of them are bikers. The best time to visit would be early morning 6am to witness the sunrise! It closes at 6pm. Do check the recent changes made for visitors before going.

Nandi Hills is a breathtaking retreat just a short drive away, offering spectacular panoramic views and a serene atmosphere. The drive up presents winding roads amidst picturesque landscapes, leading to mesmerizing sunrise and sunset vistas.

Despite its popularity, Nandi Hills retains its timeless beauty and tranquility, making it a must-visit escape. Whether you seek adventure or a peaceful getaway, Nandi Hills caters to diverse preferences.

If your lucky enough can see that cloud bed form. Otherwise normal fog only and careful with monkeys. It's better to go weekdays or working days only otherwise huge crowded and traffic will be there. I prefer better to go in bikes with friends. It will be a nice experience. I just visited here 3 times.

Must & Best place to visit, But better to visit on winter only, on summer no clouds were there, you will disappoint for that. Other than that every thing is best Better to choose bike rather than car Huge que is there on early morning Note : Advance tickets not needed u can get directly but better to come early they will allow 300 cars only

Awesome place & A place equal to heaven Weekend trip BANGALOREANS.

Monsoon season is the perfect time for a ride to Nandi Hills. Low clouds, clear visibility and cool breeze makes it a great outing. Initial part of the 65 km odd ride from Bengaluru is through heavy traffic and lights. However, as you cross Hebbal, the road opens up and traffic thins out. Vehicles are allowed to the Nandi Hill top from 6 am to 6 pm and charge of ₹50 each is collected at the foothills, near police check post. The road is narrow, and winding with almost 40 hairpin bends. The parking lot at the top is congested with four /two wheelers. Don't expect much from the couple of restaurants which are choked with tourists. Better to carry own drinking water and light snacks. Overall, most enjoyable bike ride and outing during excellent weather.

Time matters to visit this place... Recommended to go early morning. Have hotels on Hilltop. I went by 6am there.. It's really awesome. Roads are good. The ticket has a line approx. 20 members at that morning 6AM. For me, it was 70 rupees for 2 tickets, including bike parking. Very reasonable. There is also a bus facility ~30 per person, and can avail who can not walk to Hilltop.

Kuvempu had once told in his poem why crave for heaven when heaven is on earth. Poem is one thing you can feel mentally but this is the place which actually makes you feel it. It indeed is a heaven on earth. The dopamine rush you experience out here on an early morning is just incredible. The rest of your day will be a bliss if you start your day with seeing the sunrise at the sunrise point.

Best place for a weekend trip but i prefer to go on weekdays for less crowd. The road is nice and has a good parking space, I prefer to go by a 2 wheeler and not a car. Ticket charge is also affordable and the hotel is also good for snacks. You can spend a lot of time in that place to see the fog and walk through the garden.

Amazing place for Sunrise and Sunset lovers. We went there in early morning, we started at around 3 AM in the morning from Bangalore and reached foothill of Nandi Hills by 5 AM, By 6 AM gates opened and starting towards the hill top. There are two viewing points one which is having an bridge sort of structure which is more crowded and other is less crowded and natural as well. The distance between the two is around 100ms only. Toilet facilities are also available there.

Excellent location, visited around 8am, still foggy it was. Beautiful views and picturesque location. Enjoyed the drive and walking to top of the hill. Visited temples located on top of the hill on rock. Have few restaurants on top of the hill. Entre fee Rs.20 and car parking fee Rs. 60. Timings 6 am to 10 pm. Prefer to see sun rise and sun set. Mornings you can enjoy the fog particularly in winter season. Enjoy your visit.

It's beautiful but OVERHYPED... If you have been in mountains of Himalayas then don't go.. Far more than this you already have been seen.. Maintenance is also very low according to footfall.. all view points are not clean and serene... pond in temple is also dirty.. So many monkeys are there... be aware of them..

A nice place not very far from the maddening city crowd, pollution. I went over the weekend but I haven't experienced heavy crowd or traffic or waiting time. Went straight up the hill and took the tickets. Pleased to see the sunrise which was beautiful, the climate was great and there's a nandeeshwar temple on hill top. You can Trek or take your bike which is better and you can enjoy the day. There are a lot of spots to sit and breathe fresh air overlooking the sunrise or sunset. There are cottages on the hill top run by KSTDC and you can book them online. If you are looking for a short day trip it's a good spot.

One of the amazing places. Nandi Hills in Karnataka is like a calm hideaway that is not so far from Bangalore. The roads are twisty; be careful while driving.Parking space is good, and paid toilets are also available. The best time to visit is around 7 a.m. in the morning for a sunrise view. It was an amazing experience. The views were really peaceful and breathtaking.After reaching the top, don't just stand at the view point; try to cover the entire hilltop by taking a walk on the footpath. its really worth seeing the entire hilltop, not just the view point. Beware of Monkeys😆

I always avoided this place because locals kept saying it is overrated. It is not! It is just beautiful. I was lucky to have visited this on a weekday when the crowd was almost zero and weather was perfect. December rains are the best!

A must for nature lovers. Take a walk around the hill through the footpath. Lots places to reat and ease over the top. Please Note: 1. Beware of traffic on Sundays and holidays, the road upto the hill caan be really crowded. 2. Start early so that you can spend lot of time on the top and avoid a lot of traffic as well. 3. Plastic bottles are not allowed so carry fiber or metal bottles. 4.. there are hotels on the top, so carrying food is not a must.

Superb place for a single day trip. Plan well and reach early to avoid waiting time as limited traffic is allowed in the hill. We started by 2 pm from Bangalore and rsached 4 pm and enjoyed cool evening. You can watch sun set also. Always go in a car which can manage hill climbs.

It is an amazing nature place. The view from hills are breathtaking. Best place to visit for nature lovers. You can visit here with family, friends or your loved ones. You may face crowds on weekends even at early morning. The best view from hill is at early morning when the sun rises. Bus tour is also available there. Restrooms are available.

Good for visiting when in Bangalore, if you're planning to witness the sunrise then be ready to watch clouds, fog on roads and no visibility as you go uphill, you will witness really good serene view which are instaworthy and aesthetic. The place is crowded even on weekdays so come in 2 wheeler because the traffic here is really wild uphill, you will be struck in jam while people with 2 wheeler will complete their visit. No plastic bottles or any kind of plastics are allowed inside so bring water in your steel bottles. Trekking will be fun with groups, they have a garden area where you can relax after walking a lot. The top point has restaurants and temples. Parking is chargeable with minimal price, entry tickets are also pocket friendly. Enjoy your trip.

This is such a nice and beautiful place to visit with family or friends. We came here on normal days so at that time there was no rush there but on weekends it's too much. It's better to go through your own vehicle there. Overall mesmerizing memories.

A pleasant place very near to Bangalore. The entire ecosystem is different here. Being at an elevated place we are above the clouds during morning and we are drenched in mist. Loved spending time here. Entire place is magical and heavenly

One of the best and Good place to visit in the winter and Early Morning. we Have to reach there before 6 am to watch the beautiful sunrise. Beautiful and scenic views, reasonably managed and maintained place, could be better. Digital payment mode either not available or may not work due to limited connectivity. Ample car parking available. Restrooms are not clean and not maintained. Limited options for food are also available. Never the less, a go to place if you want to enjoy driving in midst of greenery and love nature. Highly recommended! It's a spectacular view. There are good restaurants here for refreshments. Parking facilities are available. The gardens and the lake are beautiful spots for photography. Beware of monkeys and take care of your belongings. Listen to the weather reports before going here in winter as sometimes it gets too foggy and difficult to drive.

A must go place at the top of the hill you will feel so amazing. I went there with my friends in 2015. This was a bike ride on Sunday. You will find many bike riders on the way and many cafes. The road is amazing and after reaching at the top you will get to see clouds and many things. Just sit and enjoy the view. Buy the ticket outside and also there is a parking place outside and you will find restaurants around.

Wonderful hill station and a historic temple. Nandi Hills, or Nandidurg, is a hill fortress in the south Indian state of Karnataka. Tipu Sultan Fort, a summer retreat of the namesake 18th-century ruler, features stone carvings and wall paintings. Prisoners are said to have been thrown to their death from Tipu’s Drop, now known for its panoramic views. Local Hindu temples include the hilltop Yoga Nandeeshwara Temple, guarded by a huge statue of a bull (nandi)

Best time to visit early morning .... Foggy clouds,. Best time to walk up but we can take our car to go up ... Worth to visit..

It was the most memorable day when Me and my friends visited the place. it is much better view when we visit in the morning around 5 AM. best view is obviously sunrise point. Just Don’t miss it. you can get there by car. One of the best place to visit near banglore.

The beauty of hills therapeutically affects personality, body, and soul. Such a large number of studies are done to comprehend the impact of hills beauty to the human cerebrum. Notwithstanding the beauty of a magnificent hill helps in bringing down circulatory strain, enhance response time, upgrade mindfulness, efficiency and furthermore enhances the general prosperity. In addition to the beauty of the mountains, there is also natural beauty. A scene that calms the eyes with peace of mind and serenity. The atmosphere of such a place is an atmosphere that brings coolness to the body along with the mind. Due to the height, such places are always cold, so such places are very comfortable in summer days. In India, the height of a hill station ranges from about 1000 meters to 2500 meters. Such places are very attractive and interesting to the people, because such places have the beauty of God.This time I had the opportunity to visit the hill station with my Brother . I was very excited and happy at that time. I had the opportunity to visit the famous Nandi Hills in Bangalore... The place is surrounded by mountains and natural beauty. It was my first visit to this beautiful spiritual and lovely place. Its clouds, mountains and lovely surroundings attracts tourist a lot.. If I got a chance, I would visit the place again for sure.. Feel in love with the Hills.. Just mesmerizing and charming. Do Have a visit everyone.

One of the beautiful place in karnataka. 60 km away from banglore. Entry will be by 6:AM. 70₹ for bike and 300 for car. Only 300 cars are allowed at a time. There is bus service. Inside there is sunrise and sunset view points. There is a temple. Its better to go during winter days.

Awesome place to visit. However, it is over crowded on weekends. On Sunday 12-Jun at 5:30 am it was hard to negotiate vehicles. Police allow only to go up at 6 am from police check-post at foothill.

I visited this place on weekend. Place is beautiful. You need to park your vehicle and buy tickets to enter. However, if you want to see sunrise you need to leave in the middle of the night. Because place is too much crowded. We did reach to the location on time but, there was a ruckus and no space left for parking. I am not so happy with the management over there. Because, the one who went first, couldn't able to return because of too much rush. I would say traffic management is poor. After waiting for 2 hrs we finally parked our bike near parking on the road & went upto hill. Place is mesmerizing, foggy & beautiful. There are ancient temples around 1200 years ago. Adding few pictures!

Went on a weekday. Reached about 8.00 am. Less crowded at that time. We could able to see the fog that covered the entire area. More than that there is a lot more to see inside the Nandi hills as you can see in the map that I posted along with this review. Entry fee 20/-. Parking provided with a fee. Nice place to hangout with family, kids and friends. Public Toilets and restaurants are there.

The place is full of natural beauty as it is maintained by the Horti culture dept. Full of trees, plants and flowers which are half hidden in the misty clouds. Best place for a weekend trip but i prefer to go on weekdays for less crowd. The road is nice and has a good parking space, I prefer to go by a 2 wheeler and not a car. Ticket charge is also affordable. You can take a drive early in the morning to grasp the sunrise for an amazing view.

One of the best place to visit around bangalore. The view from the hill top is good and one can experience the close proximity to the clouds surrounded. The best time to visit is during sunrise and the next best time is sunset. The entry to the hill top is open from everyday 6am and ends at 6pm due to security concerns. The hilltop road is well maintained and is around 8Km. One can reach hill top easily, I saw people cycling to the hill top also.

The drive to the hills is really great! It’s more fun if you’re driving or riding in groups. The curves along the way through the fog is a mesmerising drive.

This place, yeah its heaven. It was all sudden plan for us but finally we made it to Nandi hills, when we reached it was stormy wind and light rain which was definitely an unexpected move from nature, but what's the joy when you are not surprised. We went in the month of November for Sunrise, though we couldn't enjoy the sunrise as expected but we enjoyed the clouds though which was a different level of beauty. Either you can plan for Sunrise or Sunset but don't be disappointed if you miss the Sunrise, you can wait and have your lunch there on the top in couple of restaurants available and have your lunch. Wait to see the Sunset, if you don't have any other commitments. Enjoy the trip.

Nandi Hills is a beautiful destination that's perfect for a weekday getaway. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, thanks to the stunning views. Having visited both on weekdays and weekends, I must say that weekends can be quite chaotic, with too many people and noise that can spoil the experience. Additionally, getting tickets and parking can be quite a hassle during peak hours. To truly appreciate the beauty of the place, it's best to arrive early, around 6am, to catch the sunrise. It's an ideal spot for a day trip with loved ones of all ages.

The mesmerizing beauty of Nandi hills, a perfect weekend gateway from Bangalore. It is one of the best places to visit near Bangalore. The place lures up the green of the hill which has an enchanting location in the middle of the city. All loves the mesmeric beauty of the sunrise in this location.
