  • Nandi Upachara - Devanahalli

    40 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    "From the very start, we want you to know that this is the most comprehensive Lepakshi and Nandi Hills tour available, offering an unparalleled collection of sites and experiences. Unlike other tours, we’ll visit every location listed, ensuring you see it all—not just a select few. We believe that food is an essential part of experiencing India’s rich culture, which is why we begin our day early, taking a detour from the highway to a traditional eatery renowned for its authentic local breakfast.

  • Lepakshi Bull

    20 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    Nandi, the revered bull, serves as both the vehicle and devoted disciple of Lord Shiva. The Nandi statue at Lepakshi Temple is truly extraordinary, standing as the world's largest monolithic Nandi, adorned with intricate carvings in ornamental granite. Despite enduring 500 years of exposure to the elements, this magnificent statue and its serene expression have remained impressively well-preserved, embodying an enduring sense of devotion and artistry.
  • Veerabhadra Swamy Temple

    1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    Nestled in the quaint town of Lepakshi, the Veerabhadra Swamy Temple is an extraordinary testament to the artistry and grandeur of the mighty Vijayanagara Empire. Established in the 1530s by two brothers who governed this region, the temple holds several unique distinctions in India. Here, you’ll find the country’s largest snake sculpture, the largest hand-painted fresco, and the impressive Nandi statue—the largest of its kind. Adding to its allure is the temple’s famous 'hanging pillar,' a marvel that has intrigued visitors for centuries.
  • Shree Bhoga Nandishwara Temple

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    Dating back to the 800s, the Bhoga Nandishwara Temple stands as the oldest temple in the Bangalore region and one of Karnataka's most ancient sanctuaries. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, it features three distinct shrines to the powerful deity, along with shrines to his consort, Goddess Parvati. Over the centuries, the temple evolved from its modest beginnings, expanded by successive empires that ruled this land until the 1500s. Each empire left an indelible mark, enriching its beauty and significance. With our knowledgeable guide, you’ll dive into the temple’s layered history, discovering the fascinating tales behind every stone and carving.
  • Nandi Hills

    2 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
    "Our journey then takes us to Nandi Hills, the highest point in the Bangalore region. Surrounded by nature's tranquility and offering breathtaking panoramic views, Nandi Hills adds a refreshing contrast to our tour. Here, you'll find an ancient fort and lush landscapes that once served as a summer retreat for the British and hosted notable figures, including Mahatma Gandhi. This scenic haven invites you to immerse yourself in its history, beauty, and the calm of its lofty heights."
  • Nalluru Heritage Tamarind Grove (Nalluru Kote)

    20 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The Nallur Tamarind Grove holds the distinction of being India’s first designated Biodiversity Heritage Site. Established in the 1200s, this ancient grove is home to several hundred tamarind trees, each with fascinating characteristics. Some trees here have aerial roots and tree suckers that have grown into distinct, separate trees. Remarkably, many of these tamarind trees are over 400 years old—double the typical lifespan of their kind—making this grove a captivating natural wonder and a unique area of study for its resilience and biodiversity.
