Get in

Horsley Hills is approximately 165 kms from Bangalore (depending upon where in Bangalore you are located). To get there, one needs to drive on NH-4 starting from Krishna Raja Puran (get onto the cable stayed bridge and heads towards Hoskote) and going onto Hoskote and then Kolar. From Kolar take the road to Srinivaspur and onto Rayalpadu. Beyond Rayalpadu is Andhra Pradesh territory. From Rayalpadu get to Madanpalle and take the road towards Kadiri and Anantpur. Then a left deviation towards Horsley Hills.

Alternate route: Bangalore - Hoskote - Chintamani - Rayalpadu - Madanpalli - Horsley Hills

Alternate route two: Bangalore - Hoskote - Kolar - Mulbagal - Palmaneru - Punganuru - Madanpallu - Horsley Hills (this route is approximately 250 kms from Bangalore depending upon where in Bangalore you are located). This route is better because you drive on NH4 upto Punganuru and then NH219 and NH205 upto Madanpalli. The road is very nice to drive on although there is truck traffic on NH4.

Get around

Nothing much to see here as the place is very small, just one hill! Its a place to relax and walk around. Maybe take a small hike to the top of a nearby hill. Walking is the preferred option.

Eat

Nowhere to eat at except at AP Tourism's Punnami resort. Food is nothing to write home about though Idlis for breakfast are decent.

Drink

AP Tourism's Punnami resort has a bar. Chilled beer is available. Brandy and whiskey too and presumably other drinks.

Sleep

One can stay at AP Tourism's Punnami resort. Try to get rooms at the Governer's Bungalow, there is a nice viewpoint behind this building. The resort has a gymnasium and a swimming pool which is overkill for this small place. One can take a chance and not book in advance but this is not recommended on long weekends and holidays.
