The Karnataka government’s decision to phase out regular cars and bikes in favor of electric buses marks a significant step towards reducing congestion and curbing pollution around Nandi Hills.

One of the most exciting additions to the Nandi Hills experience is the proposed cable car. Reports suggest that the estimated cost per person for this cable car adventure will range between Rs 250 to 300, making it an affordable and unforgettable attraction for travelers.
Safety remains a paramount concern, particularly during peak tourist seasons like New Year and other holidays. To address this, the government had already implemented a ban on bikes and cars from entering the 2 km stretch connecting the hills and the plain road. This proactive measure seeks to mitigate potential risks in an area identified as accident-prone, ensuring the well-being of both residents and visitors.
