Nandi Hills
Since I haven’t been for a trip since Kerala, I asked Manju, one of my students at HCL if he were interested in going to Nandi Hills. The Nandi Hills are located in the North of Bangalore, at about 60 km away. I proposed to go there by bus, but Manju refused 
coz he assumed the bus to be overcrowded. Therefore, we went there by bike. At 11am he picked me up on MG Road. Although Manju said it would only be a one hour trip, it took at about two hours. It was not really convenient to sit two hours on a bike, especially in consideration of the traffic and the dusty and sometimes bumpy roads. Anyway, at about 1pm we reached the Nandi Hills.As we had almost reached a policeman stopped us and asked for the papers. Unfortunately, Manju couldn’t find them. I already thought we might get detained 
and the trip would be finished. But a little bribe of 50 Rupees solved all the problems. The final incline to the Nandi Hills was fringed by a lot of bikes standing on the roadside. Manju told that there were couples having sex somewhere in the shrubbery as it would be only place where they can do it without being disturbed by their parents. Arrived at the summit, I invited Manju for lunch and afterwards we went hiking a little bit around on lovely trails.
You have an awesome view over the landscape around Nandi Hills as the highest point is at 1.478 m and there is nothing else around. Basically, it is not really worth going there unless you like hiking within a limited area or committing suicide. I forgot the name, but a sovereign hundreds of years ago killed soldiers by bumping them down the rocks. Unfortunately some desperate Indians adapted these stupid habit and committed suicide as well.
But now, it is quite a long time ago that the last incident was registered. One temple at Nandi Hills is not worth mentioning. We went inside and were bored by it. After at about two hours, then we took off for Bangalore again. The day finished with a dinner at 20th feet high, an intercontinental restaurant in Church Street, next to Brigade Road amid of Bangalore.
