Bengaluru to Nandi Hills — one day, one cab
Nandi Hills is Bengaluru's classic sunrise escape — a 1,478 m hilltop fort about 60 km from the city. The catch: sunrise means a 4 AM start, which is exactly when you don't want to drive. A QuicReach one-day getaway cab handles the pre-dawn run and the drive back when you're half asleep.
Why Nandi Hills?
- Sunrise viewpoint above the clouds
- Tipu Sultan's summer palace and fort
- Bhoga Nandeeshwara Temple at the base
- Cycling and trekking trails

Nandi Hills trip questions
How far is Nandi Hills from Bangalore?
Nandi Hills is roughly 60 km from central Bengaluru — about 1.5 to 2 hours by cab depending on your pickup point and traffic. It is around 35 km from Kempegowda International Airport, making it one of the closest hill getaways to the city.
What time should I leave Bangalore for the Nandi Hills sunrise?
Leave by around 4:00–4:30 AM to reach the entry gate before sunrise, which is typically between 5:45 and 6:30 AM depending on the season. QuicReach getaways pick you up from convenient points across Bengaluru, so the early start is the driver’s problem, not yours.
Is a shared cab available for Nandi Hills day trips?
Yes. QuicReach one-day getaways run as shared or personal cabs from Bengaluru. Shared getaways pool verified travellers on the same plan, which brings the per-person cost down; the exact fare for your date is shown upfront in the app.
