About Nandi Hills Sunrise Trek:
Nandi Hills is a hill station near Chikkaballapur, about 60 km from Bangalore, and one of the most visited sunrise spots in Karnataka. Most visitors arrive by road and queue at the top. This package takes the quieter option: a guided sunrise trek on foot, with a group, a trek leader and a plan for the whole morning. The route is about 5 km and is rated moderate. The outing starts at night. Pickup points across Bangalore open from 11 PM. The group reaches the trek base at around 4:30 AM, starts the climb and reaches the top at about 5:30 AM, in time for the sunrise. After spending time at the viewpoint and the historic landmarks, you descend at 7 AM and stop at a nearby restaurant for breakfast around 8:30 AM. The bus returns to Bangalore by about 11:30 AM. Check the page for exact timings. Nandi Hills has old temples, a fort and viewpoints with long views over the plains. On clear mornings the cloud layer sits below the summit, and the light is best in winter. Weekends bring large crowds to the top, so an early start with a guided group helps you reach the viewpoint before the rush. Wear shoes with grip, since the path can be damp or uneven,
