Nandi Hills is a hill station (a tiny one at that) located about 35 kilometres from city centre. Offering plenty of trekking trails that both kids, as well as more experienced trekkers can enjoy, head here early to beat the crowd and sun. The key trail is the one that starts at the ‘Nandi Hill – Muddenahalli’ turn near the sign that reads ‘Turn-20’. Here, after you park your vehicle, is a board in Kannada that says Shanidevara Devalayakke Dari. This is the starting point of the trek. What makes the trek worth all the effort is the gorgeous view from the top. It has the right mix of adventure, beauty and challenge, making this the perfect spot to introduce kids to trekking. According to experts, boulder hopping is a fun element in this trek.
