Horsley Hills

The hills extend across a series of slopes at 1290 meters elevation, featuring dense forests with eucalyptus trees and varied wildlife species.

W.D. Horsley, a British collector, established this location as a summer retreat in 1870, building his residence in these elevated terrains.

The local name Yenugulla Mallamma Konda derives from stories of a woman healer who lived on the hills with elephants as companions.

The temperature ranges from 15 to 30 degrees Celsius throughout the year, with December to February providing the most favorable visiting conditions.

The hills contain Kalyani, a 40-meter tall eucalyptus tree with a 4.7-meter circumference, marking it as a notable natural landmark.
