For the bikers Nandi Hills is a good place to start with. Its around 70 km from Bangalore and people visit this place mainly to enjoy the Sunrise. You must reach there pretty early in the morning around 5AM. We hardly slept during the night and started our trip around 3 AM. It takes decent time to group all the friends before leaving. Our meeting point was Mekhri Circle and we started from there around 3.30 AM. It takes 1 to 1.5 hour to reach there and all of us were there by 5.00 AM. Unfortunately the police man there didn't allow us to get into the hills before 6.00 AM as it was dark and cloudy. But after that what we experienced was just awesome. We couldn't see the sun till 9 AM as it was very cloudy but being among the dense clouds for the whole time was a very different experience. While returning we had the breakfast at CTR Malleshwaram and their Benne Masala Dosa was very nice. Overall the journey towards nandi hills was more enjoyable, no traffic, highway and cool climate, you drive most of the time above 80-90 kmph. While coming back it was bit hot and irritating due to traffic.
Caution
- Keep your driving license and bike papers with you, there was a police man in the way otherwise you may have to manage with some money (around 100 bucks I guess).
- Be careful at highway signals as the vehicles used to be at very high speed.
We have to reach there @top of that mountain

I really wondered that day that whether nature also likes Make Up. It was like winds are putting lots of powder on face of the hill.

Tipu Sultan used to come here to have a bath. Man this far to have a bath :-)
