Horsley Hills... 1st July 2006... well, there are no horses here
This place was named after a British.. don't remember exactly though. The place is around 180 kms from bangalore and is just a 4 to 5 hours journey i think...We made this journey in a Scorpio and it was very comfortable. We left bangalore at 8pm in the night and my friend (Sujith) did all the driving (while the smart guys slept
). Anyways this place is in Andhra Pradesh and is very close to the Karnataka border. A kind of plateau and hence at a higher altitude, this place remains cool and windy all through the year...We reached the place at 1 in the night or something... it was very cold and luckily the rooms were booked at the AP tourism guest house and so we didn't have to wait long to sleep... but hey wait
my friend's aren't the type who sleep... i think we walked around for sometime before we slept...I need good sleep during the night and usually feel good when i get up early, my mom made it a habit in me to get up and so i can't sleep beyond 7am... So usually i am alone early morning staring at the sun as most of my friend's get up late when on a holiday...
Have plans to back to this place, as its a nice place during summers to relax... Nothing much to see here... It has a zoo but nothing special here... lot of monkeys dwell here and you need to watch out if you are eating something in front of them
Due to the altitude, Horsley hills has a great view of the surrounding area... need to be careful while on the steep rocks...
We had a great time here, playing rummy and also some football... and having home made chapathis... mind you, horsley hills doesn't have a good restaurant... luckily in the morning since the tourist restaurant was closed as we were late for breakfast we went searching for food and some shop-cum-home vendors offered to make chapathi and alu palya for us
and it was better than the food that we had later in the tourist restaurant...There were also a lake-cum-forest area on the way back that we visited...
All and all a very peaceful place to stay for a day or two...
