Gandikota- The Hidden Grand Canyon of India.

Gandi means gorge in Telegu and Kota means fort. The fort is famous for its peculiar landscape formed by the Pennar river cutting through the Erramala Hills forming a giant gorge.

The place has well-connected roads and is easily accessible by cars.

From a far-flung, it seemed as if the entire road was obstructed by a colossal gate, something that reminds us about history. That is.. Gandikota Fort, established on the time of powerful Pemmasani Dynasty.

The next attractions of Gandikota are camping, trekking and kayaking.

Camping  is such a bliss here. It is really a lifetime majestic experience. The sunset in the middle of the gorge is a wonder to watch. At night you can enjoy the campfire under the stars.

The next morning you can trek to enjoy the mystical charm sunrise from the canyon. After that, you can head out to the Penna river, play in the water or indulge in Kayaking.

Few journeys in life leave you spellbound and make you feel grateful for witnessing natural wonders at close quarters. For me, it was one such experience.
