Reviews
My guide Tej was knowledgeable, friendly and down-to-earth. We managed to make good use of the day, covering history in the drive over, pottery and silk-making (supporting local artisans), the hike up Nandi hills itself, two temple visits and Nandi railway station. And also two delicious local meals to top it off! Although it was a lot, the day never felt rushed and I felt completely accommodated throughout.
Thank you so much, would not hesitate to book again with Unventured :)
More than that, the tour guide (hey, Tej!)was extraordinarily knowledgeable. I learned so much about Indian society, culture and history. Inquisitive by nature, there wasn’t a question she couldn’t answer or from which she shied away. It was a wonderful day and gave me a more well-rounded understanding of India. Highly recommend!
I was looking for a tour that combined history with nature and activity, and less time in the busy traffic of Bangalore. This tour fulfilled all my requirements. It started with an early morning drive to Nandi Hills, followed by breakfast in a beautiful retreat, then biking through the village where we made various stops to learn about historical landmarks, pottery making and silk weaving. Before going into the temple, my guide, Sandesh, provided me with a brief history and answered all my questions about the various Gods and culture. The Bhoganandishwara Temple was everything I had imagined -beautiful! Then, we cycled to a very cool old railway station, and finally to the base of Nandi Hills and drove up. It reminded me of Costa Rica with the lush forest and monkeys -only the monkeys were well behaved ;-)! The Nandi Hill views from the top on the gorgeous granite rock were outstanding! We stopped at Tippu Summer Home on the way down and then enjoyed another lovely meal at the retreat. Sandesh made my day perfection -he was kind, knowledgeable, and I felt completely safe as a solo traveler. No tourist traps or hidden agendas whatsoever. I would choose Unventured Expeditions in a heartbeat!!!
