NANDI ECO WALKS

Ideally   suited   as   an   outing   for   the   entire   family,   the   walk   will   introduce   many   of   the   birds,  
butterflies,   ants,   trees   and   plants   of   Nandi   Hills.   A   lot   of   them   can   be   seen   in   our   city   as   well.  
The   walk   will   focus   on   stories   about   them,   their   relationship   to   other   creatures   and   their   role  
in   our   environment.   We   will   observe   common   birds,   insects   and   other   seldom   observed  
smaller creatures that we may come across during the walk, apart from trees and plants.
This   walk   will   help   you   get   a   perspective   on   natural   history   to   further   develop   your   interest   in  
wildlife   photography,   travel   writing,   and   nature   sketching.   You   will   learn   basic   identification  
skills,   observation   techniques,   and   a   wealth   of   information   that   will   help   you   put   a   name   to  
various animals and plants.

Do   you   find   history   fascinating?   Then   you   will   love   the   Nandi   Heritage   Walk.   An   ancient  
fortress   of   Tipu   Sultan,   temples   designed   by   the   artistic   Chola   empire   and   more   –   this  
region   is   adorned   with   relics   and   monuments   that   celebrate   a   bygone   era.   Led   by   local   and  
Bengaluru   based   historians,   the   walks   are   themed   around   Cornwallis   &   Tipu:   The   Sultan   &  
the   British   in   Battle,   Ancient   Bhoganandishwara   Temple   –   India’s   Centuries   Old   Heritage
