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.

    Due to the fact that only 5 members have paid up for the trek scheduled on 22nd, it has now been postponed to the weekend of 29th of Jan. This time the journey is by train, tickets have to be booked by tomorrow, we need members to pay up immediately to facilitate the ticket bookings for the new date. Please go through new dates, and RSVP and pay ASAP. Those who have already paid need not RSVP again, if the new dates are not convenient, then you will be refunded with the entire amount.
