Having lived in Bangalore for almost three decades now, I've visited Nandi Hills several times since my earlier days as a student. But this time around when I visited the area, it was a completely different and surreal experience. Nothing like I had ever imagined before. The monsoon month of August adds to its charm too.
Mornings were covered in mist as we woke up to the sound of chirping birds outside our luxurious cottage at the newly opened Mulberry Shades, Bengaluru Nandi Hills - A Tribute Portfolio Resort. Who wants breakfast in bed when you can step right outside of your room and sip on your morning tea with the most gorgeous butterflies and colourful rare birds pecking on fruit-laden trees and flowers all around you.
Time stood still as we lounged around the pool at Bangalore's newest characterful boutique hotel evocative of a design that facilitates a seamless connection with nature and nostalgia. Only around 70 minutes from the city of Bengaluru, Mulberry Shades is premised at the foot of the majestic Nandi Hills, a historical and culturally rich region of the bygone era. The 101-room new boutique hotel offers a stunning view of the hills from its foothill, right below. We also went for a morning drive upto the top of Nandi hills the next morning after a relaxed night on the softest plush beds in our spacious villa. The early morning drizzle added to the romantic weather as we stood up there watching the world from top.
