Day Trip to Nandi Hills

My good friend, Tariq, was nice enough to take me to see Nandi Hills.  Here are the pictures!

Typical Bangalore traffic... Basically you are always less than arm's length away from other vehicles.

A pretty gate that we passed along the way.

Beautiful roads along the way.

Leg-stretching break!

Goats!  Oh, and in the background is where we were headed towards.

 Apparently the local army trains on the mountain.  It just so happens that these fellow bikers got into my shot. hahaha.

 Tariq and me!

 High-Yah!

 Hand-stands with oncoming traffic... Not a good combination.

 I can jump too!  I must have cleared a full 4 inches right there.

 COW!

 Pretty stones and garden.

 PUPPY!

 Can you find all four monkeys?

 Beautiful architecture along the walking trail up the mountain.

  

 I feel like this captures so much of the character of this building...

 Oh, so many stairs.  They would NOT end.

It just seemed like a perfect pose at the time.

 Show-off. 

 Just enjoying the view from the top of the mountain.

 This picture was very hard to obtain.  The bush that this flower was on was above the walking path.  Luckily I have impeccable camera angle skills.

 Don't let the cuteness fool you.  I witnessed two monkey attacks!

 The white designs are cut into the walls for candles to be placed in.

Resting before making our way up more stairs.
