Ananthagiri Hills, regarded as the Ooty of Telangana, is located in Vikarabad and is generously filled with sunflower fields and grasslands. If you’ve been wondering where those Instagram pictures with influencers in sunflower farms are coming from, now you know it. Hike through the woods to reach the edge of the valley, which gives you a stunning view of the Deccan Plateau. We also recommend visiting Nagasamudram Lake (a freshwater lake), which is a few kilometres drive from the hills and Anantha Padmanabha Swamy Temple, a 400-year-old temple constructed during the Nizam era. This one's also popular for night trekking on a clear moon day for spotting owls and wildflowers blooming in the night.
Distance from Hyderabad: 81 km
Best Time to Visit: September to March
