ナンディヒルズとレパクシのベストスポットを1日で巡る

After a great city trip last year with Praveen, we have booked this year the northern tour with Praveen. It was great again! Starting with an south Indian breakfast we have visited several places. Praveen is a high skilled guide, explained a lot about the hot spots, the country, the history and the people. In addition he is very flexible in adding stops if you have own whishes. Next time in Bengaluru the next tour with Praveen is a must.

We had a mesmerizing day, covering long distance to see multiple landmarks with a safe driver and an expert guide. There were so many places and insights we would have not seen if it round have not been for Praveen, our guide. Meals we included and excellent. The itinerary was adopted on the fly based on our input. I can more than highly recommend you to also book here!

This was our second tour with Praveen and it was again unbeatable. Very good oranized, a very friendly guide and all in all the perfect day where we saw things we‘d never would have seen alone. Axel

We had a wonderful trip to Lepakshi Temple with Hidden Gems Tours, organized for my business guests visiting from Europe. Our guide, Mr. Pradeep, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and engaging, and his explanations of the temple’s history, architecture, carvings and stories really brought the place to life. My guests thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were fascinated by the history and craftsmanship of Lepakshi. The trip was very well organized and comfortable throughout. Highly recommended, especially when hosting international visitors who want to experience India’s incredible history and heritage.

I'm so thrilled to have booked Hidden Gems tours again to spend an amazing day touring incredible archaeological sites. My tour guide, Mr. Deenanath was a friendly and knowledgeable guide -- answering all my questions about what we were seeing and going into depth about the stories and ancient culture. He also kept me safe from cheeky monkeys who may try to steal a backpack or two! :P The Lepakshi Bull was so beautiful and serene, and being able to participate in two, still partially active temples was a wonderful experience. Lunch on top of the Nandi hills was delicious and the views simply could not be beat! I can't wait to return to India and experience more with Hidden Gems! Thankyou again Mr. Deenanath and Praveen!

I added this tour to my itinerary because I wanted to walk around the Nandi Hills a bit. What I got was a truly amazing, fun day! We started out with an outstanding dosa breakfast at a pleasant neighborhood spot. Once we talked about my interests, my guide suggested we start out by visiting the local potters (I am a ceramic artist) since they work in the mornings. I loved seeing the potters hand-build giant tandoors using more or less the same techniques I use, and seeing the various steps involved beginning from lakebed clay. We visited the Bhoganandishwara Temple and I learned about how it grew from the 9th century to today. In Lepakshi, we visited the Nandi Bull and Veerabhadra Temple, where among other things we saw stunning, well-preserved frescoes. Hearing that I enjoy spicy food, the guide took me for lunch at a good Telegu restaurant. We then tried to drive up to the Nandi Hills to take in the views. But the road was closed for construction and everyone (including several tour buses) was being turned back. Disappointed, we headed off, but the guide had an idea: if I wanted to see the views, he would lead me up the Nandi steps (the 19th century step route to the top). So we embarked on this adventure. Although I did not have enough water to get to the very top, we went up high enough to enjoy the views! Finally, we stopped to see the Nallu Heritage Tamarind grove to see the ancient tamarind trees, and headed home. What a day! Hidden Gems tours provided me with a lot of hidden gems that day, and I am very grateful.

A culturally fascinating tour into the countryside around Bangalore with a knowledgeable and engaging guide. Authentic!

Sculptural marvel of Vijayanagara empire belonging to 16 th century in Andhra. Well maintained Veera Bhadra -Siva - temple in a sprawling complex with several sculptures still in tact. Treat to eyes. Mystery pillar where bottom is free from ground also can be seen. Takes around one to two hours on a weekday. Pigged attractions like Jatayuvu on a hillock and single rock Nandi are in a different place. Recommended.

Our trip was fantastic and very memorable not only because of the extreme beauties of Bangalore region, but mainly because Praveen and Hidden Gems provided a customized service of exceptional quality. If you visit Bangalore, you will miss a lot if you not select Hidden Gem as your private tour provider.

We had an amazing day seeing the sites around Nandi Hills and Lepakshi! We visited several temples and saw some amazing sculpture and engineering in the temple designs. The great thing about this tour was the combination of visiting historical sites and being out in nature at the Nandi Hills---the perfect combination of cultural heritage and peaceful surroundings. I would definitely recommend the tour for anyone traveling to Bangalore.
