A Day in Nandi Hills

Are you freaking out because of the traffic in namma Bengaluru? Many ideas might be running in your head. All you need to do to beat the stress and boredom of traffic is to get away for a short trip. During summer all major places are crowded, so to avoid that visit some place early in the morning or be there for a sunset. One such beautiful place is Nandi Hills which is around 62km from Bangalore.
