Tall trees frame the entrance, and the noise of the outside world fades almost instantly. A stay at TSTDC Haritha Resort in Ananthagiri Hills is less about luxury and more about waking up inside a forest. Rooms open to balconies overlooking green slopes, and early mornings arrive with mist drifting through the trees.
Managed by Telangana Tourism, the resort sits right within the Ananthagiri Hills location in the Vikarabad district, making it convenient for temple visits, forest walks, and nearby viewpoints. Unlike private Ananthagiri Hills resorts, Haritha keeps things simple and practical, focusing on comfort, basic amenities, and easy access to nature.
