We decided to visit Nandi Hills yet again (3rd time in last 2 months). That's because it is very close to Bangalore and secondly, you can be back in a couple of hours. Every time we had been there, the weather has been totally different. First time (May) there was no sign of mist and clouds - so it was little disappointing. Second time (October) - there was mist all over the place and clouds blocked the view of sun rise. Third time - we decided to skip Nandi Hills and trek over to the hill opposite to that (that again was a hell of a trip). Fourth time - there were clouds all around, but below us... so we had clear sky but clouds below our level.
As usual, we reached before the gates opened at 5:30 AM. Bought the tickets and were the first guys to reach on top. Sudden impulsive decision to take a short cut and reach the top proved to be a boon as we witnessed the best ever sun rise. We were just in time as sun was rising over the clouds. The view was akin to that seen from an airplane. It was just spectacular, as we saw the sun rising slowly and then clouds engulfing the sun. The clouds were at very low height and they covered the view below the hill. We were at sufficient height to get a clear view of the surroundings. Words cannot do justice to the awesome sight. So I will let the photographs do the talking
