About Nandi Hills

Nandi Hills, or Nandidurg, is a hill fortress in the south Indian state of Karnataka. Tipu Sultan Fort, a summer retreat of the namesake 18th-century ruler, features stone carvings and wall paintings. Prisoners are said to have been thrown to their death from Tipu’s Drop, now known for its panoramic views. Local Hindu temples include the hilltop Yoga Nandeeshwara Temple, guarded by a huge statue of a bull (nandi).

Nandi Hills in Karnataka was a popular holiday retreat for the British office before independence. After independence it was made a part of the state of Karnataka. The town is surrounded by lovely hills and valleys and consists of sprawling vegetation. The scenic beauty has led to the increased inflow of tourists.

Like most hill stations, the weather of Nandi Hills, Karnataka is mostly mild. The summer months are pleasant while the winter months are cool with scanty rainfall. The ideal time for traveling to Nandi Hills is between the months of October and March.
