About Nandi-Hills Tourism
Nandi Hills or Nandidurg is a hill station, situated 1,478 mt. above sea level and 65 km from Bangalore, in Chikkaballapur district of Karnataka.
It gets its name from the ancient Nandi or bull which is meant to be
the mount of Lord Shiva. Later developed as Tipu Sultan’s summer

hills are the source of the rivers Palar, Arkavati and Pennar and
rolling green slopes surround the AmritSarovarLake, making it a popular weekend destination.
