My Home Town.I’m blessed to be born in this Place…I Always sit alone in that big rock and keep starring at the beauty. You can get down from the other side of the river which is from the opposite Hill.. There is a hidden temple in that Opposite hill you can get down and get into Fishing boats. 20 rupees per head. Its Around 2 kms away from Dam…

In reply to Rohit. Rohit Thanks. You have to go to Mylavaram dam and then take a boat. It costed 1000-1500 (that was a couple of years ago). The total ride time was 1 hour. The boat will take you near the gorge and then return. There are teams who do hiking and trekking from top to bottom through the steep and rocky terrains - thats from top of Gandikota to down Pennar river. But I do not have a number or name of an organisation who does it.

Want to join all the others in congratulating you on an outstanding travelogue. Thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

There is an old Telugu movie (starring NTR) called “Gandikota Rahasyam” (meaning The Secret of Gandikota), you have exposed that secret to many!

How long do you think is the hike down to the water? You mentioned one could take a boat ride at the bottom (when there is sufficient water), is there a place one needs to descend from (and to) to reach the boat operators?

Any additional info on hiking down and activities at the bottom?

Once again, thanks!
