About this route
A short green escape west of Hyderabad: ride out through Moinabad to Vikarabad, then climb into the forested Ananthagiri range. The roads are lined with old banyans and wind gently through the hills, which makes this a favourite first long ride for new riders.

Highlights
- Banyan-lined approach roads
- Anantha Padmanabha Swamy temple
- Godamguda viewpoint
- Best after the monsoon when the hills are green
Good to know
- Hyderabad's Outer Ring Road is closed to two-wheelers, so leave the city on the regular highways, not the ORR.
- Weekends bring heavy day-tripper traffic on the hill roads; stunt riding here has drawn police attention, so keep it calm.
- Few facilities beyond the small cafes near the temple and viewpoint; fill up in Vikarabad.
