About
Our Story
Born from a love of running and the magic of monsoon mountains
The DivyaSree Nandi Monsoon Run was born from a simple idea: what if runners could experience the raw beauty of India's Western Ghats during the most dramatic season of the year? Nandi Hills, rising to 1,478 metres near Bengaluru, transforms during the monsoon into a mystical landscape of swirling clouds, cascading rain, and impossibly green hillsides. This is not just a run — it's an adventure through nature at its most alive.
