Overview
Horsley Hills is a quiet hill station at 1,265 metres in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, named after W.D. Horsley, a British collector who built his summer residence here in 1870. The hills are home to a 400-year-old Eucalyptus tree called Samrakshana Vanam, believed to be one of the oldest in South India, and the Gangotri Lake at the summit offers views of the surrounding Deccan plateau. Unlike commercialised hill stations, Horsley Hills retains a remarkably quiet, forested character with dense sandalwood and tropical dry evergreen vegetation. From Mumbai, Horsley Hills is approximately 960 kilometres away — a 15-16-hour drive on NH 44 via Hyderabad → Anantapur → Madanapalle → Horsley Hills ghat road that offers pleasant highway views.

NH 44 via Hyderabad → Anantapur → Madanapalle → Horsley Hills ghat road Andhra PradeshHistory & Significance
Horsley Hills were used as a summer retreat by the British Madras Presidency from the 1870s, when Collector W.D. Horsley built the first bungalow at the summit. The hills were part of the domain of the Vijayanagara Empire and later the Mysore rulers before British administration. The Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation has developed limited eco-tourism infrastructure while preserving the natural character.
