Rathi Hills in Bhupalpally: Ancient Relics and Natural Beauty Draw Tourists
Imagine big hills with cool rock shapes that look like art, and they are very, very old.
These are called Rathi Hills, also known as Pandava Hills, in a place called Bhupalpally.
People who work for the government, like the collector and an MLA, recently visited these hills because they are beautiful and have lots of interesting things like caves with statues, old small temples, and even medicinal plants.
Because the rocks are soft, it's a great place for climbing and hiking!
The government wants to make it even better for visitors by adding things like a ropeway, better roads, places to stay, and even internet.
They are also getting ready for a special festival happening in November, making sure everything is ready for people to visit and see a special statue in a cave.
It's like turning a hidden natural treasure into a fun place for everyone to explore.
Rathi Hills in Bhupalpally district are being developed as a special tourist spot, noted for their rock-carved shapes and ancient relics.
The hills feature cool springs, remnants of ancient shrines, paintings, rock structures, caves, geo-heritage, and medicinal plants.
Soft sandstone makes the hills suitable for rock climbing and trekking, with plans to establish trekking points.
Officials are planning significant tourism infrastructure, including a ropeway, roads, accommodation, and utilities.
Special arrangements for roads, electricity, water, and medical services are being made for the upcoming five-day Brahmotsavam festival in November.
