Ugadi, the Telugu New Year, falls in March or April and is celebrated with colourful decorations and special foods. Sri Rama Navami, usually in March or April, celebrates the birth of Lord Rama with temple visits and cultural programs. Ganesh Chaturthi, in August or September, involves elaborate processions and idol immersions. Diwali, the festival of lights, is celebrated in October or November with fireworks and sweets. Sankranti, a harvest festival, takes place in January with bonfires and kite flying. These festivals offer a glimpse into the local culture.
What to pack
During peak season (December to February), pack light woollens, especially for evenings and early mornings. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring the hills. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are important for sun protection. A light jacket or sweater is useful even during the day. If visiting during or just after the monsoon, carry an umbrella or raincoat. Avoid overly revealing clothing when visiting temples or religious sites.
Saving money
The cheapest time to visit Horsley Hills is generally during the monsoon season (June to September), when hotel rates can be 20-30% lower. Look for accommodation in Madanapalle, the closest major town, for more budget-friendly options. Eating at local restaurants and dhabas will save money compared to the resort restaurants. Horsley Hills is easily accessible from Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR). Booking flights and hotels 4-6 weeks in advance can help secure better deals.
