Nandi Hills ... quite the view

Saturday we decided to hit one of the local landmarks Nandi Hills.  The trip up the hill was an interesting journey, the road goes side to side through hairpin turns to make it up the hill.  Every major curve was numbered, I think it makes it easier for them to find you if you go off the road.  I couldn't believe that there were even a few rickshaws that made the trek up, I think there might have been some Flintstone peddling to get them up the steep hills.

  Once up the hill the views were spectacular.

Monkey mania

The monkey's throughout the park area were hilarious   Like watching the kids play back and forth.  I've heard that in general monkeys can be quite vicious but these all seemed very used to people.

Two valuable things to remember when visiting a Hindu temple ... take off your shoes and don't use your left hand for anything, but take as many pictures as you want.

As we were leaving I heard some rustling in the trees above, this little guy was only 3 feet away from me, directly over my head.
