How to Reach Nandi Hills from Bangalore
02
Bangalore to Nandi Hills by Car
From many places in Bangalore, you can hire a cab to reach Nandi Hills. Now, several cab service providers operate in and around Bangalore city. However, a journey to Nandi Hills in the cab will be quite costly given the fact it is in the outskirts of the city. From the Kempegowda International Airport, you can also hire a taxi to reach the place. You can book cabs online with ease. Cabs are also available from the Chikkaballapur railway station which is 10 km away.
If you are planning to reach Nandi Hills from Bangalore via bike or scooter, that is certainly possible but there are limitations. There is a motorable road to the top of the hill. However, it is steep and has 40 curves before you can reach the entry gate. After this point, 4 wheelers are allowed but the same is not true for 2 wheelers.
You may also choose to climb the hills using steps from the entry gate and it is not ideal for the faint-hearted visitors.Recommended Read: 100 Best Things to Do in Bangalore

you INR 200! It just ensures you get a specific seat on the same bus and nothing
more.

Nandi Hills and these are managed by KSRTC. The first bus to the hilltop
leaves at 8.30 AM. Returning direct buses leave the Hills between 2.30 and 5
PM. However, these timings may change slightly.
