On the last Saturday we went on a trip to Nandi Hills - just out of the city of Bangalore.
It was a very beautiful place and real break from the noise and pollution of Bangalore.
We walked up the hill - the air was very moist and misty and it even rained a little which made it seem even more surreal. At the top of the hill is the old palace of Sultan Tipu of Mysore.
We had a briefly terrifying encounter with some rogue bulls that were blocking the path (one of the girls got chased..though no one injured). And there were a lot of monkeys around as well - some super cute, others (when sensing food) very aggressive!!
Hope you enjoy these pictures :)
