Looking for the perfect weekend getaway from Bangalore? In Episode 4 of our "Things to Do Around Bangalore"series, we take you on a scenic bike ride to Nandi Hills, one of Karnataka's most iconic hill stations. But here's the real question — is Nandi Hills still worth visiting in 2025? Let’s find out.
This article highlights not just the classic Nandi Hills sunrise, but also hidden spots, peaceful food stops, and stunning ride routes you can enjoy if you're a biker, solo traveler, or a weekend explorer.
🛣️ Bike Route: Bangalore ➝ Devanahalli ➝ Nandi Hills ➝ Secret Viewpoint
The journey starts from Bangalore early morning, passing through Devanahalli and Chikkaballapur, eventually reaching Nandi Hills. We’ve mapped out a ride-friendly route with minimal traffic and scenic views, ideal for motorcycle lovers.
🌄 Why Nandi Hills Is Still a Top Pick (Even in 2025)
Despite being one of the most visited spots around Bangalore, Nandi Hills never loses its charm — especially during sunrise. Early morning fog, winding roads, and panoramic views make it a biker’s dream.
But beyond the crowds lies hidden viewpoints that offer a more peaceful and equally beautiful experience — and yes, we share their location in the video!
📍 Secret Viewpoint – A Local Hidden Gem
Skip the crowded main parking and follow our route to a lesser-known cliff point with uninterrupted valley views. It’s a perfect place to relax, fly a drone, or just soak in nature without distractions.
🍽️ Breakfast Stop Near Chikkaballapur
No ride is complete without good food. On our way back, we stopped at a local eatery near Chikkaballapur, popular among morning riders. Expect fresh idlis, vadas, and piping hot filter coffee — a must-try before you head back to the city.
