The Nandi Hills or the hills of the Nandi have been named after the bull of Lord Shiva. The pleasant hill resort of Nandi Hills is also known as Nandigiri or Nandidurga amongst the locals. The Nandi Hills have attracted people since long. Nandi hills were the summer haven of Tipu Sultan as well as the British. The palace of Tipu Sultan and the Bungalows of the British stand in testimony of the same.
Tipu’s Drop :
On misty days when the wind wails in the trees, you can almost hear the blood-curdling screams of the prisoners as they met their gruesome end. But look down on a clear day and the view is inspiring.
Yoga Nandishvara Temple :
This beautiful Chola temple has an inscription of Sambhaji, Shivaji’s son. The Dwarapalakas, the splendid metallic figures are not-to-be-missed.
Amrita Samovar :
The sparkling water of the Lake of Nectar is a major tourist attraction at the Nandi Hills.
