Ravadurg Gooty Fort

Reviewed By RAYALA-VK

It is a must-visit spot. For the travellers who are interested in trekking it is one of the best places. It takes about 2 hours to reach the pinnacle of the fort, if one treks by enjoying the beautiful scenery in and around the fort and down the hills on which the fort is located. It is located at a common point on NH44 and NH67. It can be reached either from Anantapur or Kurnool by road. It takes about half day (including travel and trekking).
