Horsley hills Part 1

Surprise! Surprise!

We started at 8:30 in the morning. We had planned to start a little earlier. We started from our flat in Singasandra, Bangalore.  Horsley hills is roughly 145 Km from Singasandra. Traffic was normal as it was Labor Day. It still took us around half an hour to reach Marthahalli. By 9:15 we reached Bangalore- Tirupati highway. Here we had breakfast at hotel Annapurna. By 9:45 we were back on the road. The first 50 km were the boring dusty streets of Bangalore. Then we took a slight right towards Hoskote. We bought Guavas at Hoskote. After we bought the Guavas, the vendor himself told us to wash them nicely! A little later we reached the Andhra border.

The road has shrunk!

The WOW route!

The roads suddenly shrunk by 1 or 2 feet. Very soon we saw a board saying ‘WELCOME TO HORSLEY HILLS’. We were relieved. We went on ahead until we reached the foot of the hills. There a person collected 20 rupees as entrance fee to the hills. We started climbing the hill. It wasn’t such a long climb compared to Ooty, Munnar and Mulyanagiri. We were on top pretty fast. We arrived half an hour after check in time and the rooms were still not ready. So we headed to the restaurant and had lunch. Then we went to the rooms to find that it was still not ready. They were an hour late now. On our humble request they finished their cleaning quickly and left. Honestly I know will call me lazy but I spent the afternoon watching cricket on TV.
