October to February is the sweet spot for this one. Karnataka Tourism puts Nandi Hills at about 60 km from Bengaluru and calls September to February the pleasant window, which matches what most of us feel on Bellary Road at 5 am in a jacket. Their page is here.
My plan shape: NH44 out through Yelahanka, slab of smooth highway, then the climb with its hairpins where the fun actually starts. No permits needed, just the gate ticket and two wheeler parking.
Range maths is the real homework. Round trip plus a climb eats more than the flat number suggests, so I keep Normal for the highway and let regen do the work coming down. Ola lists a Hypercharger at Chikkajala on the NH7 service road, handy as a buffer stop, though those open at 10 am so an early run means you go up on your home charge.
Tyre pressure and brake feel the night before. Who else is riding this season?

Planning to just top up fully at home and not depend on it at all. Also checking tyre pressure cold before the ride, not after, makes a real difference on those hairpins.
