Right from the jungle to the rocks and pond, you'll be able to see it all. Plus, you just cannot miss the sunset here. And now, grab your keys and follow your heart to the ruins.

Please note that finding food and water can be difficult and we recommend you carry your own food and replenishments. With no stay option in Rachakonda, it's the best if you make this a short day trip.
