A Trip To Nandi Hills
So first I will tell you guyz what is this place all about,
And here you go.....Nandi Hills is a place which is as beautiful as heaven(I think calling it like heaven will be justifying when u guyz will visit the place ). There are many stories about the origin of the name Nandi Hills. During the Chola period, Once upon a time Nandi Hills was called Ananda Giri meaning The Hill of Happiness. Another story is that Yogi Nandeeshwara performed penance here, and so it was named after him. A temple of Yogi Nandeeshwara is situated on top of the hill. Nandi is also commonly called Nandidurga Fort because of the fort build here by the ruler Tippu Sultan. It is also perhaps called Nandi Hills because the hill resembles a sleeping bull Nandi. There is a point called Tipu drop and guess what why it has been calling by that name.....well i am not going to tell :P, Go there and find by yourself :D

Hills. Historians can find a wealth of information and the spiritual minded, peace and tranquility.
