I Have visited Nandi Hills Many Times, more than 20 Times. Most of the times I used to go with Mr Naren From Bangalore (A Wonderful Paraglider who was adicted to Paragliding at nandi hills http://www.flynandi.com ). Even i had my first Tandem Flight over nandi Hills with Mr Naren. Sometimes Others Like Murthy, Uli ,Jaggi and Many used to Join the Team (Visit http://www.flynandi.com For more info). It was fun.
