EXPERIENCE RATING
New on EvynxA guided day trip from Tirupati to Horsley Hills' cool eucalyptus plateau and viewpoints.
About this experience
Horsley Hills is a compact 1,265-metre eucalyptus plateau in the Rayalaseema hills, and this is a full-day guided round trip for travellers based in Tirupati who want the hill air without booking an overnight stay. Your guide and driver cover the roughly 128-kilometre ghat road up and back in a single day, opening with the Environmental Park's 150-year-old Kalyani eucalyptus tree, then Gangotri Lake's quiet eucalyptus-ringed shore and the windswept Gali Bandalu viewpoint before the descent back to Tirupati. No packaged stay or meals - a guide, a vehicle, and Horsley Hills' four best stops in one well-paced day.
Highlights
- Horsley Hills - 1,265-metre eucalyptus plateau, cooler than the Rayalaseema plains year-round
- Environmental Park - forest walking trails through eucalyptus canopy and migratory birdlife
- Kalyani Tree - a single eucalyptus specimen the forest department has preserved for over 150 years
- Gali Bandalu - windswept boulder slopes with sweeping views across the Rayalaseema valleys
- Gangotri Lake - a quiet rain-fed lake ringed by tall eucalyptus, calm even on weekends
