Camping in Nandi Hills

After yet another hectic week at the office filled with deadlines and meetings, you may often find yourself craving a quick escape from the dull monotonous routines of city life. However, you don’t want to spend most of your holiday travelling to your destination. Well, we’re here to tell you that there are plenty of getaways located right in the city’s backyard. A short cruise away from the concrete jungle and you’ll find yourself staring at rocky peaks and lush green forests rather than the usual towering skyscrapers and sea of traffic. 

An iconic trekking destination, Nandi Hills is a beautiful hill fortress in Karnataka and is known for its spectacular sunrise view from its summit. As the sun rises, colours of crimson, orange and pink, pierce through the sky, highlighting the fluffy drifts of clouds and for a visitor, the ensuing vista is as though you are above a blanket of white. Situated just about 65 km from the city, it takes only an hour and a half to get here, and the time spent will be worth it once you set your eyes upon the picturesque views from the top.  

Camping in Nandi Hills is a great way to explore this rock formation and return to a deep slumber under a wide-open sky. Far from the bright lights of the city, the stars can be spotted with ease as constellations drift through the night sky. The foothills are overflowing with verdant greenery and throw refreshing shade onto your tent as you experience camping in Nandi Hills. You could also hop onto a bicycle and pedal around the quaint winding trails around your campsite; exploring the outdoor beauty of this fortress that is still home to the Tipu Sultan Fort, a summer retreat for the famous Indian ruler.  

So, grab your tent and head on over for a weekend you won't regret.
