Just cruise

Its almost 2 weeks after doing my bike trip to ooty-coonor that i am
sitting down to write about the trip. I personally feel if you don't scribble your experiences within a week after the travel then its very difficult to put it across.

Anyway my first bike cruising of about 730 km in 2 days was really amazing. The section of drive from bandipur to ooty is really great.

I feel the pictures will speak more than my write up. I have listed photos based on the route traveled which gives a feel of the actual travel.

The route map to the left will give the exact route and distances and will be very handy.




Nanjungud-Bandipur-Mudumalai route :

Nandi Hills makes it to almost every list on 'Places around Bengaluru'. The reason why this happens is because of its proximity to Bengaluru. It is the nearest hill station from Bengaluru and a good option for somebody looking to go for a long drive. The roads are too good till the summit.

To reach Nandi Hills take the Hyderabad highway (NH7/Yelahanka Road) from Bengaluru. After 38kms along the highway, couple of kms past Devanahalli, you can see a road going to the left towards Nandi Hills. There is a sign board there and you should not miss it, if you are careful. After another 10kms you will reach a T-junction, from where you should take a left. 4 more kms, it is one more right turn followed by a ghat road leading to Nandi Hills.The place offers a nice bird's eye view from the top. An early morning or late evening drive to the hills is an exciting option.
