Family outing to Nadhi-hills

Since for many days, all at home were instating about going to an outing to Nandi hills.
Finally the day has come, on January 26th we had been to Nandi hills.
Nandi hill is located for about 60 kms from Bangalore. A place located at the height of around 4500 ft above the sea level.
Driving till to top in a zigzag road is really a thrilling experience. Before I was ecstatic that if I will drive without any stop or without any fear while driving.
Since it was first time driving in such high place where there are more than 30 curves and some of them are hair pin bend so felt little anxious. Though I looked anxious at first, later I didn't feel nervous or scared, instead enjoyed driving. I felt easy might be because of the road and wall they have built along.
As the top was nearing, we were excited to get down from the car to see the sceneries and views from the top. View from nandi hill is really looks scenic. The breeze air keeps you cool even at sunny day noon. I felt like sitting in an AC room.
It’s little difficult to deal with monkeys there as they have well articulated the art of scaring visitors and snatching food from them easily. One have to be vigilant about monkeys mischievous while eating.
There many people seen holding stick in their hand chasing away monkeys while others eating.
Finally a day to that was to hang out with kids for sometime where kids played and had fun. The place looks neatly maintained.
Kids really enjoyed the day. They danced, had fun with monkeys, played in park, ate and climbed tree like a monkey and even practiced scaling up small slippery steep.
There is a place called Tippu drop, in his regime he used punish criminals by pushing them from this place to down.
It’s also famous as many commit suicide at here. It is said to be that, Tippu used to punish people like those who found to be traitors and criminals. They would push from this height and kill. There is no chance of surviving if someone is pushed down from tippu drop.
There is a temple of deity Narashinha looks like built long ago.
Very well known place to Bangaloriance and for a day trip to have fun.
