A trekking expedition has been organised at Horsley Hills, a popular hill station in Andhra Pradesh, as part of efforts to develop eco-tourism in the area. The programme is designed to encourage visitors to engage with the region's natural environment responsibly while supporting local conservation efforts.
Horsley Hills, situated in the Eastern Ghats, is known for its lush forests, scenic viewpoints, and biodiversity. The trek-based initiative aims to harness the destination's tourism potential while maintaining ecological balance and minimising environmental impact on the fragile hill ecosystem.
Organisers have indicated that the eco-tourism promotion is intended to create awareness about sustainable travel practices among visitors. The programme is expected to generate economic opportunities for local communities while fostering conservation consciousness among trekkers and nature enthusiasts.
The initiative reflects broader regional efforts to develop hill stations as responsible tourism destinations. By promoting trekking and guided nature experiences, authorities aim to establish Horsley Hills as a model for sustainable tourism practices across South India.
