THUMBURU VALLEY TREKKING AT TIRUMALA GHATS
Thumburu Valley: - A place chosen by RISHIS to do penance in the ancient times. The trek through the canyon with towering hill of more then 200 feet height with a clearance of 20 to 30 feet only between the vertical rock walls climbing over boulders wading through pools of water the two hills join together is an unforgettable experience. See it to believe it.
Pre-historic Rock Paintings & Caves: - On the way Trekkers will have the opportunity to witness some of the rare cave paintings and caves where ancient men dwelt in the pre-historic age.
