Hyderabad to Gottam Gotta monsoon drive and hike

[Gowtham]

Short monsoon drive to Gottam gotta

 

As the climate outside is beautiful these days, we wanted to go to a peaceful and scenic destination by following all the safety measures. So, finalised Gottam gotta.

 

As usual, our plan was to start early in the morning, but finally started by 10AM from our residence.

Due to covid, we have prepared home made food and carried necessary items to have lunch somewhere in the nature.

 

We have reached the place by 1PM, after few breaks at beautiful spots en-route.

 

The most interesting part was to drive through the silent Chincholi wildlife sanctuary to reach the lake.

There is a small village en-route, which is beautiful. At around 1PM, we hardly saw 5-7 people at the lake and after few minutes, we were the only one at the lake.

Trek:

The trek to the lake was normal (kids can do it as well). We spent sometime at the lake and returned back at 2:30PM or so.

We have observed that crowd started gathering a little after 3PM but won't be more than 20-30 people.. Then we had our lunch under a tree near the chincholi wildlife sanctuary, collected the trash after our lunch and explored the place randomly. The views were really good and the place is definitely worth a visit. We started heading back home by 5:00PM and reached in 2 hours.

 

Drive and Road condition

Distance: ~240 kms. (to and fro).

Road condition: Excellent until the NH65 ends, Good from then. You will see some rough patch once you enter chincholi wildlife sanctuary (doable for any car).

 

Things to note:

Carry everything you need and don't expect any stores nearby. It's completely remote place and group travel will be fun and secure during odd timings.
