“When you open your eyes and see a landscape which looks like a painting- too beautiful to be true, when you are blissfully caressed by the warm rays of the sun playing peek-a-boo with the sailing clouds, when the thick mid noon fog lifts up to present you a breathtaking vista of hills covered with vegetation and the dew kissed grass blades tickle your feet as you take a stroll- you know you are at Destiny !!!”

An unplanned weekend trip to witness the rocky splendour of Asia’s largest monolithic, followed by a country side drive on untamed road through the lush green state forest to witness the heavens open up to pour down as you watch from a peak overlooking the backwaters of a dam almost full- so much awesomeness in a little over 120 kms round trip from Bangalore.

We sat on top of the hill doing nothing for some time appreciating the beauty of the grass covered hills and the forests below, trying to identify the resort where we stayed from the top of the hill. The human aspect looked so miniscule and humble in front of the mighty nature. It was just a small hill that we had climbed but every thing that was below looked so tiny.

How would you fancy a royal stay on a hill top just a few hours drive away from Bangalore. Waking up to the chirping birds, swaying casuarina trees, a chilling mist kissing the greens. No, I m not speaking about the colonial bungalows in Coorg or Munnar or Ooty or Chikkamagalur. I m mentioning the Nandi hills which is just a two-hour drive away from Bangalore.
