Anonymous says:today i returned from BR Hills to bangalore.My reveiew abot this wonderful place as a traveller and not exactly a wild life enthusiast is if you go on your own it is fine. the distance between bangalore to br hills is 205 kms and not 250 km. iff you go there as a traveller, there is not much to be seen except ranganatha swamy temple. you can stay in biligiribhavana or pwd guest house within1 km from the temple. it might cost you around 400 per pair per day for a room. if you want to see the forest it is all different and adventurous indeed.
