Get out of bustling Bangalore for the day and explore Nandi Hills, also known as Nandidurga, on this guided day trip. Marvel at the ancient Nandi temple with its 1,000-year-old sculpture of Nandi placed high on a hill.

After lunch, marvel at Amruth Sarovar, a gorgeous lake surrounded by lush nature. See temples and villages and learn about the history of the area from the guide.
What to Expect
Standing at a height of 4851 feet above sea level, Nandi Hill greets you on your arrival. Have breakfast at a local restaurant while enjoying the gorgeous view and ambiance of the place. Visit Tipu’s Drop, which is a 600 m high cliff face. It is rumored that the condemned prisoners were pushed to their death from here. There are a number of beautiful temples found in these picturesque hills including the Gavi Veerbhadra Swamy Temple. After the exploration of the temples, stop by a museum to learn more about Nandi Hills.
Afterwards enjoy a lunch break at a local restaurant followed by the amazing view the Amruth Sarovar. The Amruth Sarovar is a mesmerizing lake with clear lucid water filled to the brim all year round. Depending on your preference, the weather and water level, sometimes you can go down the lake and enjoy the cool beautiful water. There is another water body in this region that heightens the beauty of Nandi Hills - the Arkavathi River. This river originates on the south west of the hills and you can catch a glimpse of some beautiful bungalows with impressive gardens built by the British. The lush greenery of the forest is enhanced by the sunflower gardens and grapevines. The flora and the fauna add to the attraction of this place.
