Muddenahalli

My next long drive – Bangalore to Muddenahalli via Nandi Hills. The photos show that the drive was awesome considering that the chilly weather of November was with us.

It was drive of 75 kms from Bannerghatta road to Muddenahalli. Nothing new to say about the drive on the six lane NH7 towards Hyderabad. As you can see the traffic was less thanks to the rains during the previous three days.

The picturesque landscape started once we took the turn towards Nandi Hills. The clouds were competing with the trekkers to touch the peak of the hills. The place takes you away from the hustle of the city and you can spend some time with your inner self on top of the hill.

The road was fine for most parts but once you enter the village area it became difficult. There were villagers selling freshly picked grapes from the vines nearby at dirt cheap prices.
Bikers will find the drive rejuvenating. I regret not having the chance to feel the cold air on my face as I was traveling in a car.

Muddenahalli is the birth place of Sir Visweswarayya. There is a school and a museum dedicated to him. It also has Satya Sai Grama – a closed community containing educational institution for boys, post office, bank etc. The gated community is as large the village surrounding it.

Care was taken to not alter the natural surroundings while building the residential school.

This time I’ll let the photos do the talking …
