Anantagiri is a breathtakingly beautiful resort
sheltered in the lush undulating ranges of the Eastern Ghats. It is
considered to be a perfect head off to get away from the blistering summer
months. Ananthagiri is perched at an altitude where the panoramic vista
unfolds stunning viewpoints.
Driving through picturesque coffee plantations the road to Anantagiri with
its ups and downs on the Ghat route is literally enveloped with mango
groves, waterfalls that gush and flow into the ravines. The Eastern Ghats
rail route on this stretch is one of the highest broad gauge tracks in the
world.
