Ananthagiri Hill Vikarabad

Zappy nights with reverberation of excitement mixed with tiny bits of anxiety represent a journey on the spiral roads that lead to one of the most beautiful destination around Hyderabad - Anantagiri Hill Station (also read as Ananthagiri). In daylight, enthralling coffee plantations make entire hill appear washed in shades of light and dark green. The captivating sight is merged with the mists and cloud hanging over the valley, as the ascent nears to this hill town of Telangana. 

Originating Musi River which flows in Hyderabad and the waterfalls formed by the river only increases the resplendence. It comes as no surprise on Ananthagiri tour when these hills surrounded with Eastern Ghats amazes tourists to no end. At an altitude of 1168 in the Ranga Reddy District near Vikarabad, Anantagiri is considered to be the earliest home of forest dwelling civilization, marks of which could still be seen on walls from medieval time. Breathtaking snail-trail here seems to enhance the feeling of thrill which only gets better. 

 The natural beauty of Ananthagiri Hills attracts countless tourists from different parts of the state and beyond. A day trip to this location gives you opportunities to explore gorgeous waterfalls, ancient caves, trekking trails, camping sites, indigenous wildlife, rivers and a beautiful temple. Approximately 90 kilometres away from Hyderabad city and 6 kilometres away from Vikarabad town, this fascinating destination has several treats for nature lovers. 

 The serene natural stream of water that greatly accentuates the beauty of Ananthagiri Hills is a tributary of the Krishna River. While you are here, do not miss the wonderful Ananthagiri Waterfall that is hidden amidst the rocky terrains and dense foliage. Those who come here in search of adventure are sure to find ample opportunities. From trekking to camping, rock climbing and more, there are many things to do here. One of the highlights of the region is the Anantha Padmanabha Swamy Temple, which holds great religious importance. 

In proximity to this shrine are a set of naturally formed caves and a small pool. For those who want a break from hectic city life, a visit to Ananthagiri Hills proves to be rewarding.
