Bangaluru & nearby towns are situated on hilly plateau called Deccan Plateau. Average elevation of the Plateau is 3020 feet above mean sea level. Bangaluru has Arabian Sea on one side & Bay of Bengal on the other side both roughly 350 km away. Due to elevation & proximity to seas Deccan Plateau enjoys breezy & equable climate throughout the year. Temperature rarely goes below 12 or over 30 degrees. Several small & large hills dot the Plateau & Nandi Hills are one such example.
Nandi Hills - 4851 feet high, are located in Chikkaballarpur district approx 60 km from Bangaluru. It is 20 km off NH 7 near new Bangaluru airport. These hills are source of rivers like Penner, Ponnaiyar, Palar & Arkavathy. Mornings are misty & cold here & you might need a jacket to ward off cold breeze. As you drive up there are a few sharp curves therefore cautious driving is suggested. Some photos:
