Horsley Hills

Go to amazing Bangalore, if you need the big city for a while... great shopping, dining and disco-ing there. It's less than a 3 hour ride, and you an get cheap and nice accommodation there near majestic bus station.

There is a bus from Madannapalle to the beautiful temple in Tirupati. The bus goes through Arogyavaram, a little village in which lies the old tuberculosis sanatorium. Very beautiful place, but it is still a medical center, so you will have to contact the center if you wish to explore the area.

From Bangalore you can catch a train to most parts of southern India.Nice way to travel around in the south.

About ½ hour away from Horsley Hills lies Madannapalle.. You can do some shopping there, buy a Salwar kameez or sari. There is a nice little super market there, several Internet places and lots of small shops with dozens of stuff.
