Nandi Hills Sunrise Day Trip
Nandi Hills is a 1,478-metre outcrop north of Bangalore, and the reason to go is the hour before sunrise, when the plain below is covered in cloud and the summit sticks out of it. Tipu Sultan used it as a summer retreat and the British as a sanatorium, so the top has old buildings, a temple, a stepped tank and a cliff edge. An easy early-morning escape from the city.
