Kotepally Reservoir
About
Beyond the forest bends of Ananthagiri Hills, Kotepally Reservoir opens up like a quiet blue surprise. Surrounded by low green hills and open skies, the water stretches wide and calm, reflecting drifting clouds and the occasional kayak slicing gently across the surface. Just a short drive from the main Ananthagiri Hills location in the Vikarabad district, it feels far removed from city noise. Many visitors coming to Ananthagiri Hills from Hyderabad combine forest trails with time by the reservoir. Kayaking and speed boating add light adventure, while others simply sit along the banks, letting the breeze do the rest. It is less crowded than most Ananthagiri Hills tourist places, especially on weekdays.
