Short and Sweet description:
               Nature @ Nandihills.....!! On every visit she has shown her beauty differently. On every visit she mesmerizes me with her hidden beauty. This time she has shown her beauty through a transparent saree called Mist :).


Travelogue: 
            I'm so used to traveling, especially traveling by Bike... Yess!! I'm a avid Bike traveler. At least once in a month I used to go for long rides, I had a very long gap after my South-India trip by Bike

As Avinash(My trip mate), was asking me for a long bike ride(at least a short) since quite long time, we decided to go for a short trip to Nandihills.
Here I don't want to mention the route, precautions, When to start, What Can we do,... etc etc . If you are looking for such kind of information look at my previous visit to Nandihills post  "Sunrise at Nandihills " and "Sunset at Nandihills"

To be frank, I've been to this trip just to enjoy the bike ride which I was missing for 3 months :(. All over the stretch I just plugged in ear-phones and was listening to Music and enjoying my ride :).

Since we have started from B'lre little late,we missed Sunrise. But to our luck we were able to see the beauty of Misty Nandihills. Later we came to know that, Sunrise was not visible due to Mist n Foggy weather ;)

It was really misty while ascending the hill. I could not see more than 10ft. I could feel my helmet transparent glass was getting wet bcz of the mist. I just searched for a good scenic spot and parked my Bike. As I was waiting for my friends meanwhile I just hooked lens into my D-SLR and started my photography. The outcome of that you can see below.. ;) In another 10mins my friends joined me and we have spent almost 1Hr in Misty weather. We've not even reached top of the hill, I was sure that from top we can't enjoy the Misty view. So I asked them to stay here and enjoy the beauty :). After an hour we have reached the top of the hill and shocked by looking at the Q at the ticket counter. The 'Q' was till parking area. Immediately we decided to return to Bangalore, but as the surroundings were quite encouraging(I'm talking about weather ;)) we decided to stand for an Hour n get the tickets. As I guessed the view wasn't very scenic from top of the hill. Simply we just had a walk over the hill here n there and had chit-chat for sometime n then returned to Bangalore. By 12'o clock I was back to my room .
