Trip to Nandi Hills

Nandi Hills has been on my wishlist since 2010. Back then I was working at Hyderabad. But I had to move to Vadodara for job. I couldn't try Nandi Hills after moving to Vadodara.

Even after moving to Bengaluru I couldnt plan a trip to Nandi hills for first 2 to 3 months due to non availability of vehicle.

So far i managed to do 2 trips only and following are the photographs from both the trips:

Birds of Agara

When I was in Bengaluru for SAP training back in March 2015. It was known that Bengaluru have many lakes, but as per what I have read in newspapers all of them are polluted. Due to the above I never tried to check out the lakes in Bengaluru. However, one find day when I travelling to "Banerghatta" I happend to see this lake at Agara and found some ducks in the lake. I decided to check out this lake on next day. It was pretty surprising that this lake was very clean and well maintained. I keep visiting this lake whenever time permits. Following is the list of image captured at this lake since March 2015.
