Places to Visit in Horsley Hills
Horsley Hills Viewpoints and Gali Bandalu
The edges of the hill open onto wide views of the plains, forests and distant villages. Gali Bandalu, which means windy rocks, is the most popular viewpoint, where strong breezes sweep over the boulders and the sunset turns the whole landscape gold. It is the best place on the hill to sit, take photographs and simply enjoy the wind.

It is the best place on the hill to sit, take photographs and simply enjoy the wind.
Kalyani Tree
One of the hill's most famous sights is Kalyani, a huge old eucalyptus tree believed to have been planted in the 19th century and counted among the oldest and tallest of its kind in Andhra Pradesh. The girth of the trunk surprises most visitors, and the tree stands close to the main tourist area.
Environmental Park and Mini Zoo
The Environmental Park on the hill has walking paths, gardens and a small zoo with animals such as deer and birds, making it a favourite with children. The shaded paths are pleasant for a morning or evening stroll.
Mallamma Temple
The hill's older name, Enugu Mallamma Konda, comes from the local legend of Mallamma, a kind-hearted woman who is said to have cared for an elephant and later came to be revered as a goddess. A small temple dedicated to her stands on the hill, and it remains an important local shrine.
Colonial Heritage and Horsley's Summer House
W. D. Horsley, a collector of the Cuddapah district, is credited with developing the hill as a summer retreat in the 19th century. The old colonial buildings, including the summer residence associated with him, give the hilltop a gentle old-world feel. Some are now part of the government-run tourism facilities.
Adventure Activities
The hill has offered activities such as zorbing, rappelling, rock climbing and zip lining through the state tourism department and private operators. Availability depends on the season and operators, so check on arrival, and always follow the safety instructions.
Rishi Valley
Near Madanapalle, Rishi Valley is a peaceful valley known for the Rishi Valley School founded by the philosopher J. Krishnamurti. The surrounding hills, old trees and bird life make it a calm stop, and the area is known for its birding. Visits to the school campus are subject to its own rules, so check before you go.
Gurramkonda Fort
About 45 kilometres from Horsley Hills, Gurramkonda has a hill fort with a history linked to the Golconda rulers, Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan. The Rangin Mahal, an ornate old building near the base, is a protected monument. It is a good half-day addition for history lovers.
Kaiwara
On the way from Bangalore, Kaiwara near Chintamani is associated with the saint-poet Kaiwara Sri Yogi Narayana Tatayya and holds the Amara Narayana temple and hill caves linked by local tradition to the Mahabharata. It is a pleasant detour on the way to or from Horsley Hills.

Departure Point
Your journey to Ooty begins from Bangalore, the gateway to South India's most beloved hill stations. Pick-up is available from any part of the city — Koramangala, Electronic City, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yeshwanthpur, Marathahalli, or Majestic. The most common route out of Bangalore takes you onto NH275, the six-lane Mysore Expressway, which is one of the smoothest and best-maintained national highways in Karnataka. An early departure between 5 AM and 6 AM is strongly advised to clear Bangalore city limits before peak traffic begins. The first 50 km on the expressway are fast, comfortable, and lightly trafficked in the early hours, setting a pleasant tone for the journey ahead. Our drivers are experienced in choosing the optimal departure window and route based on real-time traffic conditions, ensuring that the first stretch of your Bangalore to Ooty road trip is efficient, calm, and enjoyable from the very first kilometre.
Hoskote
Biryani Town of East Bangalore
The drive leaves Bangalore along Old Madras Road past KR Puram and joins NH75 towards Hoskote. Hoskote is the "Biryani Town of East Bangalore", famous for its early-morning dum biryani, which draws people from across the city as early as 5:00 AM. The town has grown into a busy industrial and logistics centre, with warehouses and factories along the highway. The Hoskote lake, one of the larger lakes in the region, is visible from the road after a good monsoon. Leaving early helps you avoid the heavy traffic that builds up around KR Puram and the Hoskote toll plaza later in the morning, and a biryani breakfast here has become something of a tradition for travellers heading east.
Chintamani
Gateway to Kaiwara
After Hoskote, the road turns north-east towards Chintamani through farmland, eucalyptus plantations and rocky hills. Chintamani is the "Gateway to Kaiwara", and the town is believed to take its name from Chintamani Rao, a Maratha chieftain linked to its history. It is a busy trading town for agricultural produce, including silk cocoons, vegetables and fruits. The temple town of Kaiwara, with its hill caves and the shrine of Yogi Narayana Tatayya, is about 15 kilometres away. Chintamani has several good restaurants, which makes it a useful halt for tea or breakfast if you skipped the biryani in Hoskote.
Rayalpad
Border Town of Kolar District
Rayalpad is the "Border Town of Kolar District", the last Karnataka town before the road crosses into Andhra Pradesh. The landscape here is dry and open, with mango orchards, groundnut fields and granite outcrops. Your interstate permit for Andhra Pradesh is checked around the border, and our drivers handle the formalities quickly. The road beyond the border passes through small villages and farmland, with the first glimpses of the hills that lead to Horsley Hills appearing on the horizon.
Madanapalle
Tomato Town of Andhra Pradesh
Madanapalle is the "Tomato Town of Andhra Pradesh", home to one of the largest tomato markets in the country, where truckloads of produce are traded every day. The town also has a special place in history: in 1919, Rabindranath Tagore translated Jana Gana Mana into English at the Besant Theosophical College here, and the college preserves this connection. Rishi Valley, with its famous school and peaceful surroundings, lies nearby. Madanapalle is the last large town before the hill, so it is the best place for fuel, supplies and a meal.
Horsley Hills
Ooty of Andhra Pradesh
The climb ends at the hilltop, the "Ooty of Andhra Pradesh", where the cool breeze, eucalyptus groves and wide views make an immediate impression. Your driver takes you straight to your resort or to the main viewpoint area near Gali Bandalu and the Kalyani tree. Most visitors spend the afternoon exploring the hilltop and stay back for the sunset. If you are on a day trip, plan to start down the ghat before dark and leave the hill by around 5:00 PM to reach Bangalore by late evening.

How to Book a Car for Rent in Bangalore — Step-by-Step
Booking a Car for hire in Bangalore with Tejas Travels takes under 5 minutes. Follow these 4 steps:
STEP1 | Contact Tejas Travels Call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773, or email info@tejastravels.com — available 24 hours, 7 days a week. Share your travel date, Bangalore pickup location (area or landmark — Whitefield, Electronic City, MG Road, Koramangala, KIA airport, hotel name, tech park), destination or full itinerary, number of passengers, and preferred vehicle. For KIA airport pickups, share the flight number — the driver tracks live flight status and adjusts pickup timing for delayed flights automatically. For luxury vehicles (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Rolls-Royce), also mention the occasion — corporate, wedding, VIP event — so the team can ensure the best-condition vehicle and, where required, formal chauffeur attire. |
STEP2 | Receive Your Written Quote Within 2 hours of your enquiry, Tejas Travels sends a written quote via WhatsApp or email. The quote clearly itemizes every charge: vehicle hire rate (Rs/km or flat package), driver allowance (Rs 400-1,000/day depending on vehicle class), applicable toll estimates, and any interstate permit if applicable (Tamil Nadu for Ooty, Kerala for Wayanad, Andhra Pradesh for Tirupati). No verbal-only prices — everything in writing before you confirm. For corporate clients requiring reimbursements, a Proforma Invoice can be issued at this stage. If you want to compare two vehicle classes, request both quotes at the same time. |
STEP3 | Confirm Your Booking & Pay Advance Once satisfied with the written quote, confirm via WhatsApp or phone. A 15-20% advance payment confirms the booking. Payment: UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), NEFT/IMPS/RTGS bank transfer, or credit/debit card via payment link. Advance receipt within 30 minutes. Confirmation includes: driver name and mobile, vehicle registration, departure time, pickup location, and full billing breakdown — all in writing. For luxury vehicles (Rolls-Royce Ghost, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class), advance may be higher due to limited fleet and Bangalore peak-date demand (wedding season November-February, New Year). |
STEP4 | Your Driver Arrives Early Your assigned Tejas Travels driver arrives at your confirmed Bangalore pickup point 15 minutes before scheduled departure. For KIA airport transfers, the driver coordinates at the Arrivals gate. The vehicle is clean, sanitized, fuelled, and ready. For wedding and VIP bookings, the driver arrives in formal attire. The driver calls 30 minutes before arrival as a courtesy. During the trip, the driver handles all routing, toll payments, and Bangalore traffic navigation. At trip end, balance payment is settled after deducting the advance. Any additional km or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate. |
Quick Booking for Hire: WhatsApp +91 9980277773 with your vehicle preference, Bangalore pickup location, destination, and travel date. Written quote in 2 hours.
