Pennar Canyon Viewpoint

The Pennar Canyon Viewpoint is the postcard overlook travelers call the Grand Canyon of India, where the river has cut a deep gorge below Gandikota's cliffs. From the rim you look down layered rock walls and the winding Pennar far below, especially dramatic at sunrise and late afternoon. Most visitors combine the viewpoint with the fort walk on the same half day. Stay behind marked edges; the drop is sheer and winds can be strong.
