Nandi Hills with Kids — Family Travel Guide
Karnataka, India · 1,478m · easy difficulty
Suitable for families with children
Go with kids 3–14 for the sunrise above clouds and fort exploration. Skip if your family can't handle a 5am start or crowds on weekends — the real risk is cliff edges with no railings near Tipu's Drop. Start early on a weekday and keep young kids within arm's reach at viewpoints.
