Hyderabad to Ananthagiri Hills , Vikarabad Road trip

[Gowtham]

Yet another trip to Ananthagiri hills, which is one of the best adventure and scenic place near to Hyderabad. But this time it was a birthday photography trip . Though it was summer, we decided to celebrate our friend's birthday there and wanted it to be an adventure filled surprise.

 

We started early in the morning and hit the ORR by 6 AM. We were so excited to visit this place and as soon as we saw the daylight, the weather was not supportive. But our excitement levels didn't go low as we were all busy in planning the celebrations at the AnanthaGiri Hills view point.

 

Road condition: Newly laid roads are very smooth. I would love to drive down again just for the roads.

PS: This place is ideal for a day visit and the best time to visit is during the rainy season.

 

After visiting Ananthagiri Hills more than 10 times. Its time to jot down things to do at Anathagiri Hills.

After spending some time here, we bid a bye to the picturesque beauty of the nature from the viewpoint.

and headed back towards the road from this exit.

We drove down the hill towards the lake.

Our drive towards the lake was surrounded by hills with scenic views.

Since this year's summer was recorded high, we couldn't find much greenery on our way to the lake.

Beauty and the water.

On our way back to Hyderabad, we spotted a few peacocks, but couldn't click a picture of them.

We had a great time in AGH that we didn't even notice the temperatures out there. After heading onto the road, we felt the sun and slowly everyone started to lose their energy.

Before waving a goodbye to our trip, clicked this picture of a train.
