Horsley Hills is in Andhra Pradesh, a state in the South of India.
Owned by AP Tourism. Rooms can be reserved at the Governor's Bungalow, there is a nice viewpoint behind this building. The resort has a gymnasium and a swimming pool which is overkill for this small place. One can take a chance and not book in advance but this is not recommended on long weekends and holidays.
Contact the forest ranger office at Madanapalle before going to Horsley Hills. It's better and cheaper than Punnami Resorts.
By car
From Chennai, you need to catch the Poonthamalli High Road, get onto NH4 and drive till Wallajah before Arcot from where you have to take the route to Chittoor.
By rail
For people visiting the place from places further than Bangalore, a rail option is available.
Many beautiful mountains around the hill top. Nearby Madanapalle is a small town, but it has supermarkets and lots of shops with Indian garment. It's a place to relax and walk around.
