Beautiful fort maintained normally but efforts should be taken to make it far better. The way to fort is so narrow to reach and parking is small. Weekdays are mostly free while comparing to weekends it’s almost little crowded. You can opt for guide with multilingual skills and may charge you around 200-1000 it’s not a fixed one as the trust has not taken any actions. It takes approximately 1-4hours to explore the entire fort, it’s vastly spread with more details. Best for students to explore and experience the old civilisation. There are proper dustbins placed in all places where we can keep the fort near and clean. Also fresh refrigerated water dispenser in most places and toilet facilities for both genders.

Not recommended for kids and elders. It's a place for folks who are physically active as it has a lot of climbing stairs to reach the top of the fort. Very exhausting and tiresome. If you are someone with great fitness and active lifestyle, please explore this place. Highly recommend 👌

Inside this complex there are plenty of historical monuments.The whole building looks symmetric with respect to this central hall.

It is fair way for the price.Entrance ticket is 40rs which can be used for lotus mahal as well. We have purchased our ticked at lotus mahal which have been used for entrance here.Main attraction was the stone chariot & musical pillars.The ruins are beautiful architectures , few spots definitely needs restoration in order to save our ancient history.The musical pillars are currently in renovation which is why entry is not permitted inside but can be seen from out.Guides are available on site who can guide you with the history.Definitely a place to visit.

Stone chariot and musical pillars(not allowed to enter the place) are here in ruined condition (off-course whole hampi monuments are in ruined condition), old aged tree.Better to take long buggy car from entrance to temple place if it’s hot not suggestive to walk.It was Sunny and Windy day and rested here at one of the mandapam near stone chariot.Due to G20 summit venue there were lots of repair works inside and outside under progress ultimately benefiting visitors for easy moving.

A must visit ancient historical site in Hampi. Take a guide to know the details of the place. Facilities are good. One can walk or take shuttle service ( chargeable 20/-)up to the entrance of the temple. The entrance fee is 40/-, the same ticket can be used to visit Lotus Mahal& museum.

Representing the essence of India's tourism, this place stands as one of the finest. Its beauty captivated us. The entrance fee was a mere 35, applicable to various locations, and there were no additional charges for photography.For a nominal fee of Rs 20, a battery-operated car efficiently transported us from the parking area to the main entrance. Notably, the legendary story of Ramayana unfolds on the walls of this monument, adding a rich cultural dimension.For those with children, hiring a guide at Rs 2500 for the day is advisable. The guide provides detailed insights, allowing kids to enjoy the stories associated with the monument.The iconic Stone Chariot, featured on the Rs 50 note, is a central highlight that shouldn't be missed.

We ought to express our gratitude to the brilliant architects and civil engineers of ancient times. This place is a UNESCO-designated masterpiece of destructive beauty. The intricately carved stone sculptures showcase astonishingly minute details, offering a visual feast to all who behold them. The technological marvels, such as the musical pillars and the ingenious provision of natural light, left me utterly clueless about the ideologies behind their creation.The beautifully carved chariot, adorned with meticulous detailing, has the power to truly captivate the mind and leave it in awe.

There are a lot of beautiful temples, majestic ruins, aquatic structures and royal embellishments of the times of yore that illustrate the glorious past. The ruins of the olden times are an incredible sight to behold, for both the pilgrims and the tourists alike

This beautiful place is the ruins of vijayanagar empire which still attracts tourists from across the globe. The place is at a distance of 1km from the main road from where one can take electric cart at Rs 20 pp. The entry ticket into the temple area is Rs 40 pp which can be used to visit other historical places at hampi. One can witness an amazing sunset at the back of the temple. Entry to the musical pillars area is currently restricted. It is better to carry cash as the network coverage is very poor.

One of the finest works of the Vijayanagar architecture. Sad the temple is almost in ruins and that one is not allowed to visit the main temple but the complex. But one can enjoy the carvings from the outside. The stone chariot is the star attraction.

An amazing historical site with a lot of well preserved architecture. Some also getting restored. Hampi is a must visit place for everyone who wants to understand the History of India.

Nice place, less crowded and the place is filled with spots for photographs. There is electric vehicle available for up & down transport. But if you walk you would get totally different experience. On the way lots of small small views are there also view of anjayadri hill from here is a splendid one.

One of the best place to represent the India Tourism. Such a beautiful place and luckily we visited on Monday and it was not crowded at all. We have ample time to spend at every nook on corner of this beautiful monument . We got the ticket for just Rs 30 which can be used at number of places. There is no photography charges. The battery operated car will ferry you from parking to main entrance at a minimal cost of rs 20. The legendary story of Ramayana was depicted in the wall of this monument. A guide for full day will be available at Rs 2500 and it is good to have guide if accompanied by children . Guide will provide the details and kids will enjoy the story.The stone Chariot in the center which is featured in Rs 50 note can be witnessed

We visited the temple on a public holiday and emhence it was super crowded.There is INR20 cab ride from start point to main temple area. If the weather is good and you can walk, I would advise to do so. Because there are a lot of small ruins in between which you would miss when travelling through buggy. It is sad the buggy do not stop in between to show other amazing stops. It is absolutely worth visiting this place to witness the past.

Absolutely loved the temple and the history of this temple. It's not an operational temple, so you can wear footwear in it. There is some ongoing work to restore parts of the temple. There are stone pillars which emit various musical notes when you got them with your thumbs or knuckles. There is Thungabhadra river nearby at a short walk. You can see ruins of a stone bridge and another submerged small temple under the river.

So much touched by the ruins of the ancient iconic temple that has amazing stone structures such as the incomparable stone chariot and the fascinating musical pillars.The temple exemplifies the immense creativity and architectural excellence possessed by the sculptors and artisans of the Vijayanagara times.

Famous tourist spot. We visited on 15 January & it was very crowded due to the festival and Sunday.Parking was 500 meters away from the main entrance, so we had to take an auto from there. After reaching the main entrance, we took a battery operated vehicle to reach the main temple area. Charges were Rs.10 per person. Ticket for the main temple area was Rs.40 per person. A very big area with many temples/ruins. Many guides are available. The famous chariot from the Rs.50 note was the main attraction. In return, again the battery operated vehicle took us back to the main entrance.

Wonderful place....the chariot inside is what u find on the backside of a Rupees 50 note...nice carvings , beautiful architecture...awed at the way such things were done without any modern knowledge and resources expertise..U have to walk for a km from the parking till the temple or stand in a queue and climb on the battery operated vehicle...ticket fare is 40 per adult...

This is one of the temple complexes in Hampi. You can witness the stone chariot and music pillars though you cannot touch the music pillars. You have to walk nearly 1km to reach the complex from the parking area, it is better to use the electric caddy service provided as it will be sunny and hot.

Great Place, amazing architecture, constructed by stone about a 700 years ago. The Stone Chariot is a must see in real. Amazing place to visit for history buffs. I wish the temple was maintained well, no restrooms and the transport is tough but if you get there you will be rewarded highly.

Amazing experience to visit this temple and great experience for the kids as well. There is so much to know and learn about our rich cultural heritage that’s completely missing from the tex books and can’t be covered in school curriculum. Travel to these marvels and architectural masterpieces is the only way to enrich oneself with the vast knowledge and understand the history. Must visit place in Humpi.

The only word that comes to my mind after seeing this structure is Brilliance! What a beautiful piece of artwork- every inch of the masterpiece is so amazingly built that words are not enough to describe it. The setting is superb! The carvings on the pillars are fabulous. Hats of to the artisans who created such a beautiful temple!

Each and every stone has an untold story. History lovers will love the place. Stone chariot is the highlight and also the temple is beautifully built and maintained. Also, never miss the 150 year old tree inside the temple 😊

There is view before entering to temple that cannot be explained by words and cannot be captured also. This place is better to go now rather than from November to may since climate will not be favourable and also it will be crowded in peak season you need to walk for 1 km or else can enjoy through electric vehicle it is dusty On weeken you might need to wait for longer time for transportation from counter to temple

Must visit place in HampiAmple parking space availableFrom the parking there is a long walk(around 750 meters) to the actual temple. Its worth the walk if you do not want to miss the old market place ruins and beautiful pond on the way. Battery operated vehicles are also available if there are kids and elders.(Rs 20 per head)There will be some queue , but it moves fast. Once you reach the actual temple a nominal fee of Rs 40 is charged per head.It is worth taking a guide if you are really interested about the glorious history of the place. You find certified guides around the temple.They charge around 500rs to show the temple around. But knowing the history really adds value to our visit, which otherwise would end up just as a selfie destination.

The majestic temple is an absolute man made marvel. Even in the scorching heat in peak summer, you would still end un enjoying visiting the place. The guides here charge a mere 300 INR but again their commitment to helping you understand the beautiful history of the place is average (value for money).Ideally you should visit this place either early in the morning or late in the evening to beat the heart and do have a guide to tag along. Don’t walk to the temple, take a e-rickshaw and while returning you can walk if you want.

The only place in Hampi where you should hire guide. Lot of history to be uncovered beneath these monuments.Beautiful structures. Few of them restored with conservation work.Approx 1 hour needed to cover all these monuments in the vicinity.

A must visit place in Hampi. This is where the musical pillars are situated. The world famous rock chariot is situated here. Buy tickets online to avoid the queue. There are boards where you can scan and buy tickets.There are electric buggies to pick and drop you from parking spot. There are clean restrooms at parking and near the temple premises.The place looks beautiful during evening. The orange setting sun add drama to the place.

Beautiful scenic and knowledgeable place to visit. It shows culture we follow. Enjoyed most at this place. Trust me have enough of time to visit this place. You will need time at this place.They have electric vehicle available from parking till temple entry.

Very nice to visit the place, here is the back side image of Indian 50 rupees note. Especially for this reason the temple is famous, once you visit here you will be eager for a second visit.

Architectural marvel of medieval history. Built in Dravidian style during Vijaynagar empire. Covers a huge area. Approx 1 km distance from entry gate, e-vehicles are available at nominal cost upto main temple, however there are 2 more attractions which can be seen while walking. Main temple area has iconic Stone chariot (featuring in new Rs. 50 note), ranga mandapam with musical pillars, and many other buildings. Better to hire a guide to know the stories and detailed architecture. ASI Entry fee of Rs. 35 to be paid, ticket is valid for 1 day and can be used at many other monuments and museum of Hampi.

One of the most popular place in Hampi. The stone chariot printed in the 50rs note is located here. If you are coming by own vehicle you can drive upto the parking and from there we get the buggy vehicle for the 1km distance to the temple or else can walk. If you are visiting Hampi by public transport then the best way to reach here is to walk from Hampi bazaar area which will be a distance of 2.5km. This walk through the beautiful historical remains of Hampi including Achyutaraaya temple & Kings balance is a great experience. The distance to here from Virupaksha temple by road is 8km and autos may charge 300-400rs. You will get autos nearby the parking area. Couldn't find any buses to here.The place is very beautiful and well maintained. Ticket rate was 40rs and we can use the same ticket for other monuments in Hampi.

The most iconic temple of Hampi. Vast and far away from parking. You can take a battery operated car for Rs10 per head. The stone chariot and the musical pillars are in this temple. Always crowded but since the place is vast you won't feel the crowd. You will need at least 1.5 hours to see this place.

BeautifulWe can buy tickets once we reach there. It's easy to scan and buy tickets. Tickets are valid for one dayFrom parking there is around 1 km to the temple. Golf cart is available to travel to and fro. 20 rs for both side for one person. We might have to wait as there is long queue. One vehicle fits in 9 passengers there are more than 5 vehicles though. We can see the temple explore the place and come back to the parking areaPlease carry hat/cap/umbrella and water bottle along

Ruins of old vijaynagara empire!Architectural marvel and peaceful place to spend your vacation.There are few more places to visit and experience apart from the main temple complex as attached in the pics.Highly recommend to people of all likings especially people who love nature!

Magnificent structures, stone chariot, musical stone pillars, mesmerizing stone carvings, all display our rich heritage and culture. Must see for all history lovers.

Vithala temple was a heavenly and divine experience for us. It was oozing with gratitude and joy while experiencing the beauty of the architecture, workmanship and divine power holding it all together after hundreds of years. We are surely extremely lucky to witness the beauty of this historic monument after these many years of existence. Cherish every moment while you're around, there is much more than the Stone Chariot ( while ofcourse it is the center of attraction). You would come across scenes from Hindu Epic Ramayana on the temple walls and you would be able to make out most of them with little patience and tenacity.A piece of advice, plan to visit during early afternoon, I think the balmy sun light in winter is just right between 3.30 - 5.30 pm...don't waste time while waiting for the electric cart, the walk to the temple is pleasant and part of the experience, so just enjoy every bit of it. You can easily buy tickets at the site by paying cash or UPI or online.

India being rich country in culture and heritage has created history for thousands of years that built the kingdom to leave behind a legacy that eventually givesthe impression about ancient civilization.

Beautiful monument and temple. Booking tickets online will save you money and time. Try to make it to the temple early in the morning especially during summer months, not a lot of shade and it gets very hot from noon till 5 pm. There is a 1 km walk from parking, or a shuttle. The shuttle is not sufficient for the crowd, so might end up waiting up to an hour depending on the crowd, one shuttle transports 9 people and they have 3 shuttles running. If you decide to walk, there’s no wait, but not a lot of shade on the path. Would recommend hiring a guide if you are interested in learning the stories carved on the walls and pillars.

Vitthala Temple is the most beautiful archeological site in Hampi. You will find the stone chariot here itself which you find printed on 50₹ noteYou need to take a government operated e riksha to reach the temple that cost you 10₹You can walk to the temple as well which will take you around 10-15 minute. i will suggest to walk up to the temple so that you can see few other monuments in between.Over all the place is very beautiful and sunset here is magical.

People who love adventures and rock formations, would certainly love to go to this place. Such a natural beauty. The cave is so deep, wide and long. It absolutely amazes you at every part with its deep trenches. There are places within the cave which are so narrow and the rocks are porous as the water keeps dripping through these rocks.Please make sure to have nice footwear (sandals or gum boots) as you have grip and not hurt your feet. The whole tour would approx take 2 hours. You'll drain all your energy by the time you are back as the terrain is tough, long and, very suffocating. You end up profusely sweating. Carry some energy drinks and food to keep yourself hydrated and keep your energy levels high.The sad part is about the maintenance by the governments. Though we have blowers and lights inside the cave, most of them are out of order and not functional which makes the journey tiring.

This is a natural cave and opened for the public in 2003.Before going to this cave:must carry an adequate water bottle. in the cave there is a lot of humidity so wear some light clothes and also for footwear, must have anti skid like shoes as there is some slippery clay like miss are present in the track.there is a very small waterfall present in the cave. Must visitCar parking charges 20/-Adult charges: 70/- per personIt will take a minimum of 1 ½ hr to explore all the paths in the caves. There is marking of all the directions as IN or OUT.

A Great place to be. It's the second longest natural cave network in India.The place was discovered in 1982 -83 by a team of German Archaeologists led by Gebaeur . The palace was used by the Buddhist Monks for stay and meditation.There are a lot of stalactite and stalagmite deposits inside. Pls refer to the photographs attached.This has made the place more beautiful.The place has been very well maintained,with adequate lighting and ventilation in the deeper parts. We saw four /five ventilation fans at the top.The main attractions are the central chamber open in the middle - Gebaeur Hall ,the Meditation Hall and the small spring flowing inside .There are multiple coloured lights inside,which makes it look slightly less natural. Maybe lights with natural colours would be a better option.The ventilation shafts which continuously blow in fresh air, keeps the place comfortable. However,be prepared for heavy sweating once you are deep inside.There is an underground waterfall with a small lingam.There is adequate lighting with paved floors and the dangerous areas barricaded. It is quite safe to walk inside.This place deserves to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Overall good experience. Inside the cave it’s really hot and less air though they have put enough ventilation. Might not be feasible for young children and aged people. Please wear shoes or relaxed footwear.Don’t forget to check out Buddha statue near the entrance gate. Ample parking but food options are limited.U will get guides if required but we just ventured out on our own. Nothing to be worried about, routes are marked and ample lighting as well.

Superb experience. The Buddha statue outside the cave is really calming. The walk inside is out of the world. Really scary in few places. Be careful with your footwear as few places the mud is really sticky and many have lost their footwear. Carry a torch or headlamp for better visibility. There are lights inside. Carry a water bottle as it gets stuffy inside and you sweat a lot.

Ancient and undiscovered place. Very magical feeling once you go more and more inside. The air vents were not working at some places. Wearing shoes is advised as the pavement is uneven. Take your own water bottle and don't leave empty bottles. Basic Telugu if you can read it'll be helpful although all the exit are written in English. l

Underground caves miles and miles long !Amazing shapes and structures formed naturally over thousands of years by erosion, deposition, transfer of minerals by water, etc.A must-visit place for many reasons, but one is rarity.To make the best of your visit, be sure to take a very powerful torch because your phone LEDs are insufficient to see the details.And wear well fitting shoes, because slippers/sandals are very dangerous for the terrain.Carefully note or photograph every junction you pass, most have no English signs, and you can't phone for help as there is insufficient signal underground.Not an enjoyable or safe place for naughty children or aged people though.

It's a 1 hour spend at this place. Be ready to walk a lot. It has many tunnels and the out is marked clearly so you won't get lost. It's hot inside, but luckily they've air vents inside that helps with the heat.

Superb.. I reached there @ 10 am.. But the officers told me they allow people to enter the cave with groups ( at least 10 people ).. I begged them.. Finally they allowed me after 10.45 am with two other people.. Anyway the best place to visit.

Very nice - natural formations caused by the flow of water. Nicely done with lights and walk-ways. Ventilation is through blowers placed in multiple places, though in some places it seems insufficient as many of them were not working (or not switched on) - Quite humid and hot inside in most places.Some places are difficult to pass through due to slush especially for families with very young or older members. Footwear will get wet and dirty.Toilets did not have water.In general a good place to visit and spend 1-2 hours.

Great natural wonder of India. Well maintained along with corporates as well. The rooms are huge & pathways almost seem endless. The lighting makes the space look artificial and the sound show was not active though it was supposed to be there.Limited air circulation inside the cave. Expect humid conditions & it could get hot when it is over crowded.

Bellum caves is the largest and longest cave system open to the public on the Indian subcontinent. They have the long passages, galleries, spacious caverns with fresh water here and there.It’s definitely worth visiting and mesmerizing.

A very nice place to visit. A must-see place for all to see the beauty of mother earth.The inside is very humid and hot. Some places are slippery and sticky. Some places need to walk on muddy water. Go with proper trekking shoes which are water resistant or with normal slippers.Avoid during summer. Best time is September to feb.

You can see the nature creation and also safe to go inside and see the natural cave and its beauty, they charge some fee but inside they put lights and also signs for direction. very nice experience..Some part have water so muddy little bit so wear proper shoes and carry torch and water.

We traveled to Belum caves on a Saturday afternoon. The place does get a lot of tourists as it was quite busy Saturday.The ticket is priced at ₹70 adults and ₹50 kids. They were surprisingly only accepting cash payment which is quite inconvenient, they should start card payments/UPI.The caves are well maintained, have good air ventilation, well placed signs to follow. I wish the AP government authorities would keep dustbins inside the caves as people do carry water bottles and tend to throw them randomly. Do carry water bottles if possible it can can get quite humid and sweaty inside.Belum caves are 3229m long and are the second largest natural caves in Indian subcontinent. Definitely recommend visiting it.Improvement-* Even though it’s mentioned Staircase is damaged people were still climbing on it. Please do fix the staircase as it’s not safe.*Washrooms are are in a pitiable state! Requesting the authorities to take action and upgrade the facilities.*Beautification of the overall place can be done too.*Besides the caves the place was looking quite dull and make it more scenic with plants and good facilities.* need good restaurants facilities also

Belum caves are the rarest discovered marvels of our country. They are the second largest in India. With more than 6+ cave junctions and a small waterfall. Overall it’s an amazing caving experience at Belum caves. Wear comfortable clothes which covers your elbows and knees and footwear with good grip as there is some slushy paths inside. Do not carry bags or any luggage inside, water bottles are essential. Please keep the place clean and do not litter. It’s a wonderful experience.

Very beautiful place to visit. It’s a naturally formed cave. Need a lot of energy to cover the whole cave. May be a bit difficult for kids and elders. They have put some artificial air vents so that we don’t suffocate.There are no much options for food near this place. So plan accordingly.

Must visit place if you are around this area. It is approximately 6 hrs drive from bangalore. So, it will be tough for a day trip. It takes about 2 hours to visit caves. It is a large complex. Apparently formed due to an underground river . It is an amazing natural formation. Definitely unique experience.

Very good experience of having mix of excitement, scary and curious. Engaged a tour guide/ at cave entry gate (since I was alone and don't want to get lost 😀). Too humid inside, so take water bottle. Some of the places are very narrow and also less height where you need to bend yourself. There is a spiral staircase which is scary to claim down.One of the rock formations looked like two human figures. I would name it as "Intimate Lovers Den". (First picture)

Wow what beautiful caves. Colour Lightning is done to the perfection. There is a lot of walking and stairs to cover inside the caves.The ticket prices has increased for adults it is 70/- and child (5 years to 10 years) is 50/-. AP tourism place near the car park with only bottled juices and ice creams available.Plenty of parking space is available.Other than some group of men shouting inside the caves which was very irritating, a must go if you are in this region. Near by place to go is Gandikota and clubbing both these locations in cooler months is a must.

Natural Marvel, though only 50% of the cave is open to the public, but that is worth a sight.AP government has done a good job in pumping in fresh air in various parts of the cave.Do carry water for hydration as it gets very humid inside.If visiting during the rainy season, please check the weather before coming as caves remain closed for 3-4 days after heavy rains

This cave is millions of year old, now good colorful lighting and ventilation is provided. It's interesting place to visit to see this big cave. There are huge, narrow and low height caves.

An amazing cave experience. Recommend every visitor traveling to city of Kurnool or Nandyal in State of Andhra Pradesh to take some time out and visit Belum Caves.An advisory would be to carry Torch-light as there are zones which are very dim lit corners. A to Gaurav Buddhas statue adorns at entrance. The Caves are very well planned and our appreciation to the Team behind the concept and execution too.The overall maintenance of Caves leaves a lot to be desired. A few zones had no AC and the places were hot and perspiring too. There were broken equipments like AC parts and broken light consoles that were lying in open and had not been moved out.

It was different experience to be in underground caves. Rock formations inside caves are really beautiful. Main drawback was feeling too much hot inside the caves due to more crowd. Exhaust fans were not helping to reduce the humidity. Lighting was not so good and matching with the situation. Directions are not specific and very difficult to understand.

Amazing experience worth visiting, explored a lot, felt the vibes in the cave, but difficult to get air condition, restroom available outside the cave but maintenance is required, drinking water not available need to purchase pet bottles overall worth visiting and experiencing

Naturally formed caves it’s absolutely a treat to your eyes 👀. Be ready to walk and experience natures beauty. They have kept some lighting’s to enhance the experience to the visitors. No plastics are allowed inside. You will definitely feel that ur in a different universe. Definitely a must visit place, summers are extremely hot 🥵 in Andhra plan accordingly. While entering to this location you will see a huge Buddha statue towards your right side don’t miss to click some pics ☺️.Food options are very limited Haritha is the only restaurant in the vicinity, so plan your food arrangements well in advance.They charge entry ticket 🎫 for adults it’s Rs.70 and for kids it’s Rs. 50. 4 wheeler parking 🅿️ charges Rs. 20.

It's a natural marvel.. outstanding if you are a geography enthusiast..It's hot inside so take precautions..You go nearly 150 to 200 feet underground..Created by natural formations and due to the presence of calsium rock formations..

Plus points : A magnificent creation of Nature worth visiting . The stalactites , stalagmites, courses and caverns were created over a period of millions of years , by an ancient flow of water through limestone and quartz . This is the second largest subterranean cave system in India .Depth goes from 80ft to 120 ft . Air vents are provided at regular intervals . Photography is allowed .Minus points : Being a Protected Monument under care of the State Government , more thought and sensitivity should have gone into its maintenance .The garish colored lights are an eyesore marring the natural beauty of the rocks . The spiral stairway to get to the low point is shaky . Names of caves and Exit signs are painted directly on cave walls instead of on boards .Fact file :Entrance ticket : Rs70 per adult . Carpark :Rs20Guides ( Telugu,Hindi,English) available .Kids playground , basic toilets, a snack kiosk in premises .Recommended : Carry water . As it gets very humid and sweaty inside, carry a hand towel too. Good walking shoes , to walk on uneven surfaces . Visit during cooler hours of the day and in dry , non-rainy season .Reportedly, crowded on weekends .Please do not break off stone bits to carry as souvenir . Please do not scribble/ scratch your initials on those ancient rocks . Please don’t litter . It was painful to see some tourists doing such things , during my visit.Lets learn to respect shared heritages .

An ancient caves which was formed naturallyTickets will be charged for adults 70 per eachWhile planning to visit there better be prepared with shoes,snacks and water.We didn’t see any restaurants or any food available there and caves were slippery with water and mud

80 odd km drive from Ananthapur and one of the second largest naturally formed caves in Asia according to some historians at that place.Management added air vents to the caves. However, if you're having any heart related issues or breathing problems, take necessary steps before getting into caves.

Nice place.. this is a naturally formed cave and about 1.5km of walk inside.. you can find different formations in the cave and it's a fun walk thru the caves.. some places we even need to crawl.

Must visit this caves to see how the caves were built and experience it. Cleanly maintained inside the caves. Lightings inside is beautiful. Need to buy tickets at the counter and it is affordable price tickets.Small shops are there outside for snacks.

What a place it is! there are a number of naturally carved paths inside which is the best part and if you're an explorer this is the best destination! Since gandikota is nearby you can plan for a weekend

Awesome natural Stone architecture, with different destination.Quit hard for child below 10 years and the person with breathing issue advice not to go there...Entry charges per head is 30rs and additionally parking charges.Tolite facilitie available, huge parking space, having government resort with no water.

Visiting Belum Caves was an amazing experience. The caves are huge. Walking through the cool, dimly lit tunnels was both exciting and peaceful. The meditation hall, with its natural acoustics, was a highlight, and seeing the underground stream, Patalaganga, added to the wonder. It was a unique adventure that gave me a deep appreciation for the beauty hidden beneath the earth.

Decent place lot of construction is going on strict time following was unable to explore to full extent as we were late and only had like 30mins to see. Some places where to humid and also few places oxygen levels are low though they provide fans some of them are not working. Overall a good place to explore and enjoy for the weekend

A huge, well lit, well maintained cave. Many sections inside the caves had a lot of slush due to rains. A must visit spot when you are travelling around here. Keep at least 60-90 minutes to fully explore the caves. It is very warm & suffocating inside so it is good to carry some water along. There is also a small waterfall inside the caves (patalaganga) a video of which I have uploaded. It costs 71/- per adult as entry fee.

It was good experience..Caves are very lengthy and underground one..If we go deep,will face little bit breathing problem as oxygen levels went down. Tourism department arranged ventilation pipes and lights at most of the places to avoid breathing and darkness problem... Carry water bottle and snacks should be better while visiting this place

Must visit it's more than our expectations. It's definitely better than borra cavesNot recommended for small kids old age people and people who have breathing problems because the oxygen level is low in the caves though blowers are installed for oxygen supply. They can also visit if they won't go deep inside the cavesCarry a water bottle with you when you visit .It takes around one and half hours to see everything down.

The temple is good, but management is worst. People will be fighting for everything to move in line for dharshana, prasadham, and for food, management will never control all these problems even people complain to the authority to solve. Totally it's Very poor management.

A place from where you think of never returning to your home. A place where you can come again and again but still will feel that vibe and connection with god. On the clean bank of Tungbhadra river this temple is must visit in south india. One of the best ever. And also the great historical place.

I visited the temple today 15.5.2022 with my sisters. Had a peaceful darshan though there was rush. We contributed to Annadanam. Finally we came to buy prasadam. Prasadam per pocket is Rs 25/-. I gave 50 and the lady sitting in the counter asked me rudely to get change or make way for others. We come from far of places to see Raghavendra God. But I was upset as she shouted at the top of her voice. Please post people who help and understand the devotees. My other experience in the temple was very good.

Sacred temple. Well maintained. Would love to visit anytime to seek the Guru's blessings. Temple will be crowded on Thursday, Saturday, Sundays and on long weekends as well. These days hotels charge very high amounts which is not worth spending. So better book Mutt accommodation in advance and plan accordingly

We visited both day as well as the night time and it was really soothing to visit this temple. The vibe and music and people playing bhajans everything calms you down. The architecture around th temple is beautiful depicting many stories and incidents in Sanatani culture. One must visit this place had a really good experience.

Temple is built very good half day sufficient for a trip if planned correctly. The main thing is about cleanliness in the temple and the premises could definitely have been better. Looks messy not clean in main areas.

One of the ancient Muth in India. Lots of devotees attending everyday prayer. Huge campus. Well maintained area. Buses / trains are available from nearby cities.

Temple is having vast space and its good. There are lot of lodges available near the temple to stay. But some temple staff are little rude while responding to people

This place is loaded with posative vibes. I had a very lucky and quick visit to this temple site. Blessed to have visited and got the darshan of this place. Very well maintained place. Has a large courtyard and a majestic walkway to the temple. The river flowing behind the temple adds to the beauty.The museum next to the temple is very interesting. It gives you an insight into our religions well as the vast cosmic universe . The various Lords / God and Goddess explained. Children should be exposed to this. Found meaning in why we say a prayer prior to meal, how to, and like. The body as a whole and its system too explained from religion point of view.Lot of visitors. Has multiple options to stay and eat.Must visit and get blessed once in a lifetime .

Magnificent at night with lighting..don’t miss in the evenings.Temple is just adjacent to banks of Tungabadra river. A small walk takes to the ghat and shopping area.Dress code for men #No Shirt/tshirt allowed beyond the main chamber. No restrictions on type of dress until the main chamber.

Absolutely divine feeling, avoid visiting during weekends n public holidays. Huge crowd is expected during those days. If SRS Mutt rooms are filled then you will end up paying huge amount for private rooms. Even 1* rooms are charged similar to 5* hotels. Also most of them are 12hrs checkout.

Well maintained and organized. The place is very big and peaceful. Overall a good experience and divine feeling. Just that the Tungabatra river is not maintained properly with bad smell and it requires to be cleaned.

Huge development in past 10yrs. But the riverside has been blindsided from developing. Parking is still an issue on public holidays and weekends. Plastic should be banned to ensure thungabadra rivers safety.

He is actually Guru of Madhwa community but his blessings reach beyond leaps and bounds to protect his devotees. A Seva for one day will keep you pious for the rest of the year. Vibes we get are extraordinary.

We are visiting this temple atleast once in a year. But this time we felt this place had become more commercial. Everywhere there are brokers for everything. One normal room will cost you around 2thousand. And if you want A/C room it gone a charge you around 3.5 to 4thousand. If there is no water in the river then room charges will be very high. So we thought we can keep our bags in lockers room while doing darshana so it save our room cost, but we were wrong for 1 locker they are charging 300rs and it is non refundable. So instead of that at 6AM stand in a line for mutta rooms it gone a cost around 400rs to 600rs, with in 1 hr they will allocate you room. There is a scarcity of water here. And power issues aswell. So carry your PowerBank and water bottles with you.. if you have enough time then plan your trip 1 months advance and book rooms aswell in online. It will save your money and time aswell.

SAVE MANTRALYAM SAVE RAYARA KSHETRAHello Gurugale,(Sri Raghavendra Swamy Mutt Mantralayam Mantralayam),Nimma padhagalige sastanga namsakarisutta wanted to bring to your notice namma mantralya bad experience for bhakaths.We had visited mantralayam last week on 15th 16th June 2024 . We had the worst experience ever in life time . I was surpirsed to see thousands of flies(Nona in kannada) so dirty manitained which is a health hazard for all yatris and local.In fact we did not even get bhojanam in Bramhanara annaoprna hall , we waited 2 hrs and got only anna saru(full of salt).both days Morning/eveningThey said no majjige or even Huli. both daysThe bhojana shala staff were very rude.Where as places like Kukke/Dharmstala/Udupi provides healthy prasadam for more than 50k yatriswe have waited for rayara prasada we are Rayara bhakaths since birth why has this become so bad management here.we travel thousands of miles in train/bus to see our rayarauuu & want to have prasadam at sannidhi,they treat as if we have come homeless for Biksha which rayaru will not tolearateTemple Rooms online shows full even one month before, Also big compliant & complaint was I heard if you pay 500 rs to temple staff they will give any number of rooms this is unaccepatable in this great Rayara SannidhiPrivate rooms charged 3800 for 12hrs which no yatra place there is no control we paid 8000 for morning(830am to 930pm evening) he was insisting vacate fast other people have booked , we said 24hrs they said no only 12hrs in mantralyam rule.

I recently had an interesting experience at Mantralaya. The place has its ups and downs, which made for quite a memorable visit. While the general hygiene of the area isn't the best, the mutt inside the perimeter is well-maintained and stands out in comparison.The rooms here are adequate, though not particularly exceptional. Don’t expect luxurious accommodations, but they serve their purpose for a short stay. Visiting the temple is a relatively quick affair, typically taking around 5-15 minutes for darshan. One quirky aspect of this place is the insistence on exact change at Parimala Prasada. Each packet of prasadam costs 30 rupees and contains four pieces. Even though they seem to have enough change, they still prefer exact amounts, so it’s wise to come prepared with the right change.One of the highlights of Mantralaya is the food. The cuisine here is rich in masala and spices, making for a flavorful experience. Dinner, in particular, is something not to be missed – it’s delicious and leaves a lasting impression.In the evening, the mutt offers a great view, making it an ideal spot for a blissful walk. The serene atmosphere at night adds to the charm of the place. However, the riverside area isn't as well-kept as the mutt and lacks proper hygiene, but it’s manageable if you’re prepared for it.Overall, despite some hygiene issues and the need for exact change, Mantralaya offers a unique experience. The well-maintained mutt, quick temple visits, and exceptional food make it worth a visit. Just be sure to carry exact change, especially for prasadam, and enjoy the delicious dinners and peaceful evening walks by the mutt. With a bit of planning and an open mind, a trip to Mantralaya can be quite rewarding.

Mantralayam is wonderful place, temple area is good and filled with spiritual vibes.The surrounding of the temple area is just extremely filthy.Tungabhadra river is full of crowd and unwanted, unhygienic activities such as bathing and washing clothes in the same part of the river bank.A lot of garbage is deposited, dirty clothes are just thrown everywhere around.I don't know if changing rooms for women are available or not but women seems to change outside in the public.Offering of coconut, lamps, flowers garlands etc is contributing to more pollution is the water body.We consider Tungabhadra to be sacred then we need to maintain some cleanliness and decency in the around such a wonderful place.Another horrible thing is 100s of people keep the Rose ringed Parakeet 🦜 caged and make business out of it by saying insane things about one's fate and fortune .

Mantralayam, Andhra Pradesh 518345, India

Very nice place to include in one day trip plan. Don't expect much facilities, we can enjoy if we have adjustable mind set. Cost varies based on peak timings.

Good.Visited for 2 days. Hotel is good and well-maintained.Room service is also goodThey don't have restaurant but will arrange food for your room from nearby hotelCar parking not available but they have wallet parking this is good

Book rooms well in advance, Mon-Thu rooms are usually cheaperThe place is clean enough overal and easy to walk around, wear slippers and leave it near the temple entrance at the dedicated spotEvening times it's empty and easier to spend time and take your own time

It's great place the temple itself is clean and well-maintained, making it a pleasant place for pilgrims. However, it's unfortunate that the riverside area isn't as well-kept and has a lot of dirt. Perhaps you could consider bringing this to the attention of the temple authorities or local community leaders, as improving the cleanliness of the riverside could enhance the overall experience for visitors

Sacred temple. I had booked accommodation from the temple website and also the seva. Good time to sit in temple is evening. Behind temple is the river where a dip should calm down. You also have a camel ride available near to temple. Private hotels charge randomly based on agents/auto driver people so better to book online through temple site.

Just awesome place to visit. Very good service in terms of darshan, food arrangements for devotees, prasadam distribution.The road network needs to be improved a lot along the Bellary - Raichur stretch leading to Mantralayam.Must visit for Sri Raghavendra Swami devotees.

This place can’t be explained but can only be felt and experienced. A divinely place one must visit at least once . This place has been improved a lot compared to years ago! People and the office staffs in the mutt are kind enough to guide the devotees!The system where people can join their hands to volunteer and serve Parimala Prasada is something unique and the best part! Never availed room service as it was a day visit so not sure about that, but quite lot of places seems to be available nearby. There are other places nearby to visit for one day short trip

I suggest people to visit this place during night times because the cool weather and the lighting adds up more beauty to this temple. The river flow is just normal now. Devotees take bath in this river and go for Darshanam. No entry fee is required here. The ambiance is great. It’s one of the best places for devotees.

Temple is well maintained and good. But the accommodation was poor, not hygeinic, they will make you pay double if you fail to checkout at the exact time. Help desk and reception staff are quite rude to devotees.

Rates of the room is too high for the facility provided. Not very hygienic. Over all cleanliness of the place around is lacking. Too many flies and not much care is taken for prevention. People should be made aware to keep the river and it's surroundings clean by asking them to take bath in public washroom and use those facilities than dirty the river. The age old system of using the river saying flowing water is clean must be given up due to the vast population.

We booked an AC room at Jayatheertha Mandira.Rooms are quite big and nice. Hot water is available. AC worked properly.Overall it's well maintained.Points to be improved: Dining hall should be maintained well and clean.plates should be washed properly.

A place from where you think of never returning to your home. A place where you can come again and again but still will feel that vibe and connection with god. On the clean bank of Tungbhadra river this temple is must visit in south india. One of the best ever. And also the great historical place.

The Brindavana of Raghavendra Swamy: A Must-See for Any Visitor to Andhra PradeshThe Mantralaya Temple is a resplendent and tranquil temple dedicated to the saint Raghavendra Swamy. The temple is situated in the town of Mantralayam in Andhra Pradesh and is a popular pilgrimage destination for Hindus from all over the world.The temple complex sprawls over a very large area and encompasses a number of shrines, halls, and gateways. The most arresting feature of the temple is the Brindavana, or samadhi, of Raghavendra Swamy. The Brindavana is a vast, white marble structure that is encircled by a garden.The ambiance at the temple is tranquil and spiritual, and it is a fantastic place to experience the rich culture of Andhra Pradesh. I would certainly recommend the Mantralaya Temple to anyone visiting the region.

Thereisatrafficjamandauto drivers arerushingtogettheirpassengersin. Theyobstructtrafficandpreventpilgrimsfromeasilyaccessingourlocation.

Beautiful Divine place. Lodging available around the temple budget to high level. Restaurants also available.Temple is crowded during weekend and special occasions.

The place is located in the prime location near to the temple but the booking procedure and the staff are not cooperative and not done with ease.Very rude and unfriendly behaviour which is very irritating.And also the place is not maintained well even though it is newly built the cleanliness is not maintained. The bathrooms are not cleaned properly.They charge as much as the private places but definitely not worth the cost.Be prepared for the unruly people and unclean rooms.

The place is excellent. However temple Rooms are not available. While trying to book the rooms online, the payment is not being processed. Contacted the Temple office and they said you can book the accommodation after reaching the temple. But when we reach the temple they said rooms are full. No other go, we are forced to book the private hotel which is more expensive. Two room cost around Rs.6000Other than that everything is fine.

But this 2 star is for administration of rayara mutt , near bank of river no cleaning and maintenance all local are doing A to Z there making that holy place gutter . No neatness and dress code if temple they left with air , specially for ladies and women's wearing western attire , management should take strict action against dress code, cleaning , neatness and so .Any how this temple has a positive vibes may Rayaru will give a good days for all . Smoke man in the photo

We wanted room on 5th April 24, it’s a off-season, many rooms were empty but we were told that it’s completely filled.We agreed for theirs rules and abided accordingly.But when we visited the building STMCorridor wasn’t cleanRooms were also dirty, it was left as is which was used by other pilgrimsThis should be taken care because we travel from far, we pay for rooms and it’s not offered at a free cost.I have also attached photos for proof

Guru Raghavendraaya Namaha.Rooms are not clean and reception rude. The Bhojanashaala earlier was very well maintained and clean than it is now. Certain other things are also questionable. Two streets away from the temple there is a Lord Venkateshwara Swamy temple. The Idol of the Lord there was sculpted by Guru Raghavendra Swamiji himself. And the information is not portrayed anywhere. When we visited the temple and asked them the same, they showed us a small slab with this info kept in a far corner on the ground covered in dirt, under the pretext of some construction. Earlier there was a small cardboard written in Kannada apart from the slab which was actually displayed. Now it's not.

Visited the temple after several years. Lot of changes. Had a very good darshan. It was free darshan only. Gents have to remove their shirts and vests on entering the queue. It was wonderful to visit the temple after a very long time. There is a museum inside the temple. Also there is shop inside temple premises to buy idols, photo frames and other more Pooja stuffs. Car parking was nearby but they charged ₹50

I was deeply touched by my visit to Mantralaya. The moment I stepped inside, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and calm. The temple is beautifully maintained, with an ambiance that invites reflection and inner peace.

I am talking about the floor ...it's too slippery especially with older people who must be more careful ..I don't know why they are using granite stones / any other which looks shiny..But when it comes to safety ...not bothered 😕Any way elders, heavy weight people , poor slippers/ Sandals/ shoes .Especially when there is a water on floor / raining time / or not visibility..

Just a divine feeling and experience, I visited this mutt for the 1st time in my life. I felt welcomed with both arms and this comes with miracles one after the other. Overall this was the best experience of my life and thanks to my mother's friend who planned this temple tour. Totally blessed.

Good divine place. The Mutt from inside is very holy and spiritual. There's a major problem of beggars and cleanliness in this entire location. The place is infested with flies. Management needs to take serious note on the hygiene and cleaning of the entire place.

Travelled during monsoon. The river was over flowing and offered a joyful swimming. The banks of the river are need to be maintained clean which is difficult though looking at local conditions and mass tha flow for Guru rayara darshan. The newly architected building is fab. Peaceful environment.

We took AC suits which were on the 3rd floor and there was a frequent power cut, no proper UPS service we use to climb 3 floors most of the time.I suggest the management should have an alternate power source in case of a power cut.Overall the rooms were so clean and well maintained.

The basic management from the temple authority, the management from the city authority is not there. For ex the queue system is not there, ppl can jump the line, this is one example.When it comes to the city everywhere it is unhygienic and parking has no discipline they take parking fees and you can park the car anywhere and go.It is sad that it brings so much revenue but no improvements for the bhaktadis

Raghavendra swamy temple visited with family very well maintained Temple Accommodation also Available u can book online n offline also, Afternoon temple will be closed it open 4 pm. Evening hours the temple looks beautiful with lighting...

Had been visiting since 20 years and I used to love its simplicity but now it's too fancy and as I grow up, all I see is few pujaris arrogance and ego. Praying to God and then be extremely rude to others, not to forget the dogmatic rules.

SRI Raghavendra Swamy is very nice to see, local people will confuse tourist regarding accommodation and water facilities. Any how we are very proud of Swamiji such an amazing development has been made, Thanks a lot

One of the peaceful and holy place. A different kind of positive energy is there. Triggers all the positive mindset and it's a very popular holy place. Keep the sanctity of the place and also keep the place clean.

Place have great significance but if we talk about rooms all lodges are old you can't see new high class rooms near by

Very good place.. But heavy rush during holidays and Thursday.. Parking is not planned properly... All the hotels will be changing huge amount and you have no other choice.Total collapse during week end... You need to plan your trip only in week days...

Very nice place. Well maintained.Peaceful and good place to worship and relax. They have annadanam facility also. I don't know whether any restaurants are available nearby. On the whole, a place worth visiting.

the location is simply superb and there are few caves that needs to climb stairs. steps are bit steep but one can enjoy while climbing. but lot of monkeys are there . fun part is they chase for the flowers and they even attack if they see someone had flowers on their hair r hand.best to visit early morning and evening as there's lot of heat during summers.

This temple was constructed by KingHarihara Bukka Rayaof theSangama Dynastyof theVijayanagara Empirein the 15th century.[citation needed]It was built according toVaishnavaitetraditions.One story of the site's origin is as follows: The sageAgastyawanted to build a temple for LordVenkateswaraon this site. However, the statue that was made could not be installed as the toe nail of the idol got broken. The sage was upset over this and performed a penance for Shiva. When Shiva appeared, he said the place suits Shiva better as it resembles Kailash. Agastya then requested Shiva to give the devotees aParvathiGoddess as Lord Uma Maheswara in a single stone, which Shiva obliged.A second story is as follows: Chitteppa, a devotee of Shiva, was worshiping Shiva and Shiva appeared to him as a tiger. Chitteppa understood that it was Lord Shiva in tiger form, and shoutedNeganti Shivanu ne kanti(meaning: I saw Shiva I saw), and danced with joy. There is a cave called Chitteppa nearby.

Date of Experience: Dec 2021Parking: AvailableFood: Small local shopsCleanliness: 4 Star (Good)There are few temples in this area of lord Shiva and other deities. One temple is on the ground and others are inside the caves, as you have to climb few steps to reach. Inside the the Shiva temple it is very vibrant and alive as you would be feeling like seating there for sometime. There are several shops outside. The whole area is surrounded by the rocky hills and ruins.

Wow wow what a place and the temple was awesome. The steps in caves was old was difficult to climb the steps ware very high. There was 3 caves I visited all 3 caves. The mysterious Nandi in the temple was big also wedelp was also huge. Good temple can visit repeatedly

One of the best temple I visited so far. Very beautiful architecture, nice and peaceful environment around. Abundant positive energy.

Recently visited this temple and the 3 caves, it was an amazing experience. It might sound childish but the 3 caves was so coool. But be careful the steps are too steep.You can get sparsh darshana inside the caves.Only downside was that it was so hot when we visited, the steps were burninggg hott 🔥🔥🔥

Yaganti temple is ana amzing shiva temple one should visit. Nestled between hill lock the temple has a nice gopuram and a step well where nandi ji is situated. The temple has stairs so be aware of the climb. There is an entry ticket for the temple which one must purchase. The temple has good parking spaceThe temple also has bhojnalaya for visitors for freeThere is a nuce cave temple as well. Stairs are pretty steep

We had a wonderful experience in temple.And history is always have its own Mistry. Just enjoy the place…Donations are also accepted here.

Superb location and great views of mountains beside the temple. Koneru and other areas resemble centuries old architecture and wonderful feeling. You can take 75 rupees token for sparsha darsan as well to go in to the garbhalayam. Priests were polite and will explain you the history of temple.Do visit the lord Venkateswara swamy temple and lord Shiva's cave as well.Limited rooms to stay here but during week days you shd be able to get one. Free food was fine and you have limited option for food outside as well.Please see the attached pics and you will know how beautiful this location is, thanks.

Divine place of worship of Lord Uma Maheswara Swamy. The Nandi statue is believed to be growing in size over the years, presently it has grown almost entire space within the 4 pillars. During day, the Temple is closed between 1.00pm and 3.00pm. Nearby temple of Lord Venkateswara Swamy - be prepared to climb more than 100 steps for darshan. Srimad Virat Potuloori Veera Brahmendra Swamy is believed to have written Kalagnanam in caves near the Temple. The rocks and nature surrounding the Temple is spiritual and ecstatic.

very nice place . it’s little off-route and roads are little bumpy and curvy. It’s on the hill side and looks pleasant . Be aware of Monkeys and it has a pond which gets water from the hill side. There is a Balaji temple inside the cave which looks amazing. nice temple and worth seeing.

Nice place. Famous for Yaganti Basavanna( statue increasing its size automatically). They should not allow people to use soaps and shampoo inside temple Koneru. Nice cave

Om Namah Shivaya!! Ohh Lord, where do I start, this is a beautiful piece of nature's art which is a must visit for everyone. The temple is in a hilly area and has some breathtaking views and superb caves. The 2 caves have great step climbing experience and the views inside are amazing. Lord shiva in a linga akaram and huge nandi darshan.

This place is beyond beautiful and really historic. You need to have your own vehicle or rent a car to reach this place as no public transportation will get you here. No that crowded so you can get darshan of each temple easily.

The best beautiful temple with Fascinating past and history n myth behind the place. Geographically awesome scenic beauty a must Visit Place

Nice place to visit in between two Rock they encrave lord siva lingam. Good water facility for drinking and hand washing, very well organized. Very peaceful area by going here time visit Nawab bungalow also on the way... Big bike,Car parking 🅿 available free of cost only lot of street shop available infront of temple. Free entry only

Wonderful and mysterious, the looks of this place are absolutely mesmerizing... A lot of temples are located within yaganti and will require some time, effort and energy to cover them all and it's worth it, this is one of the iconic places you can visit on your way back from Ahobilam.

Devotees find that a holy bath in Pushkarini is highly beneficial 1.If you are planning to visit the temple, you may want to check out the reviews on Tripadvisor3. I hope this helps!

Great temple to visit which is very old and well maintained even now and near by cave which is very much closer to the temple worth visiting atleast once in a lifetime.

A very beautiful temple of Lord Shiva and Parvati. Also there's a temple of Ma Parvati up in the hills.There's a central pond where water continuously comes from a stream,where some of the devotees bath , before going to the temple.

Beautiful place with historical significance and nature at its best. Very peaceful location surrounded by mountains and caves

The nearest town is Banaganapalli. Do visit the caves and learn about the history of the temple while you are here. It is very amusing. And the speciality here is the growing Nandi (bull) which is predicted to come to life and it is believed among the locals that when the stone turns to life, the world will end. It's the temple where Shiva is in the form of Uma Maheshwara. Do visit during Shivratri for the best experience possible.Oh and there's entry fee for the temple. It should be around 10 to 20 rupees.

Yaganti temple is a very beautiful and ancient temple built by agastya muni. The temple is built in vaishnava style. The lord Uma Maheshwari idol is in a single stone at the main temple, the lord basava believed that it is growing up.The temple also consists of Sri Kashi Vishwanath temple, Sri Subramanya temple, Sri Veerabadreshwara temple.In the caves it has Sri Venkateshwara temple.Must visit places in Kurnool district.

Amazing temple to be visited, most of the time it’s crowded. Shiva is the main deity at this temple, once you come out of the darshan you will witness a huge Nandi statue. Just adjacent to the temple you will see a hill connecting from the shiva temple to this step hill. Once you climb the steep hill you will see Venkateshwara swamy. It is believed that Lord Venkateshwara stepped his foot 🦶 first here, Kadapa was his second and third is Tirumala. So the Poojari said that what ever we wish to happen in your life you can pray here and once it’s fulfilled we have to perform Pooja to the deity. Must visit temple.

So Beautiful Temple. So well maintained.Everyone have to must visit this place. Literally photos doesn’t make justice, cuz it looks so natural and Peaceful.Sri Maha Vishnu temple- so much real and powerful. Must visit this place!

Yaganthi temple is a mesmerizing cave temple near Kurnool. The roads through the villages are simply memorable. The Balaji idol is so beautiful that one can't stare to it much. It's like a living God for me. Visited twice.

One must visit this historical place. One of the lord Shiva temples around Nandyala. Temple's pond is very beautiful, entire place is scenic and pleasant.Darshan is mentioned as free in Google, but it's not. Darshan prices start from 10/-

Very good. It's not like the other temple. It has the speciality of the ground water hole. As per the local information, the water will come around all year.

Om Namo umamaheswaraiah namah.... It's an ancient and historic Temple especially the Nandi situated here. As per Sri veera Bramham Gari kalagnanam, if Yaganti Nandi stand and move it will be sign of kaliyugam ending.For every 20 years the Nandi size will increase one inch which was Declared by Archeology Department of India. There are 2 famous pushkarinis in this Temple which was identified by Sri Aagastya mahamuni.There are 3 Famous caves named as Sri Venkateswara cave, Aagastya cave, and Belu caves. If you want to perform sparsha Darshanam to lord Uma maheswara u will take ticket cost of 75 rupees for each person. Entry ticket Rs. 10. If you want to visit this temple there are no direct bus facility. First you will reach Nandyal then you pick banagaipalle bus. Finally u want to reach Yaganti from banagaipalle choose autos is better than RTC Bus because no frequent buses. Autowala will charge Rs. 60 for a round trip between Banagaipalle to Yaganti.

Historical place must visit place here both lord shiva and Parvathi will seen as humans in the idol of temple and interesting thing is lord nandhi will increase 2inches every year it’s a miracle thing and many things is there to see in this temple om Namah Shivaya 🕉️

This Rock cut Pilgrimage is very beautiful, natural rocks are of its own kind... It's a scenic beauty for sure. It has a shrine of Shiva and Venkateshwara. On other hand there is a temple where there is a pushkarni, which is beautiful. Can visit this place on way to Mantralaya from Bangalore.

Inside Venkateswara temple also there.Very beautiful location and peace fullAnd inside koneru also there. And good thing there nithya annadanam also provide. Temple inside air-conditioned also there.

Good picnic spot. Maintenance need to be improved. You need to pay for entry. Many people vist for taking photos. Noticed alcohol bottles in the premise. They should not allow alcohol consumption in such public places. Beware of Monkeys here. Too many Monkeys, they try to take way your things.

The view of hilly areas with green vibes gives the peace. Try to visit with friends it makes extra memories in life with the place. The room and food is also available to try when u are planning any trip.The bridge views are good for photos.then good to see the mechanical tools are used in construction of animal and birds.Disclaimer: The monkeys are more in the reception place please take care on the items u carry 😁

I have passed by this location more than a few hundred times, but never went inside.I was amazed when I entered inside. It crossed my expectations.The site is so eye catching and beautiful. So many photo spots and kid friendly locations.I was surprised to know the Bahubali movie was filmed here.It was lightly crowded when I visited.Snacks are available but no decent food facility. Good for a small trip with families.

Another awesome place to visit in Ahobilam. It was just beside Haritha facility and a well maintained garden to spend your day with family. I would suggest visiting this place during golden hour to avoid harsh sunlight.

Really admiring mother nature for such creations. Years old rocks and a canyon like path in between these rocks. Excellent place for creative photography. All angles can be captured well. The particular colours of the rocks also make us curious. It was very windy by evening. Must visit.

Place was awesome and location was superb. One thing has to focus is Maintenance is not up to the Mark. I see Bottles thrown every where. There are so many names written by visitors on rocks. This has to be avoided and we have to protect sites like this.Over all Nice experience at the Place.

Okay, this is a place by the highway so if you are travelling on this route do visit.. the place is compilation of some wind eroded stones and boulders.. this place is a resort named Harita, has rooms for stay and a cafeteria. It's a 1km walkaround with some beautiful natural stone/rock formations. Closes at 6pm for outsiders but the occupants of the rooms in the resort can probably see a whole new perspective with lights in the night... There are some metal arts to make it interesting... Some use it for photoshoots and am sure they must love the results.. i liked my visit as it was about sunset and gave us some amazing views.. 👍😍 downside is people leave a lot os plastic and glass waste behind.. spoils the whole environment.. there is supposed to be a water body which i failed to see.. you will need around hour for looking around at leisure and to tek memories back

Fantastic place to visit and stay inside the garden. Aptdc rooms at cheap rate. Roomd need to renovate

Beautiful rock exposure.. One may get an opportunity for rock climbing.. 1.5 to 2 hrs you can spend here.. There's an amazing view of the lake through the rocks..

Beautiful rock formations. I was mesmerized with the beauty of this place. It is really surprising that we have place like this in India. Earlier I have visited the similar place in death valley, USA..It should be declared as the national heritage site.Entry ticket is 20/- per person. There are plenty of benches and rocks to sit and adore the beauty. Some idiots could be seen eating and throwing food waste inside. Also lot of plastic waste could be seen in some corners. Authority should take care of this to preserve the beauty of the place.But it's a must visit.

This lovely retreat near Kurnool Airport is surrounded by beautiful hills, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. The on-site restaurant serves a variety of meals, cold drinks, and ice creams, ensuring you won't go hungry.Families will love the play area, which includes seesaws, slides, and swings for kids to enjoy. If you want to stay overnight, there are comfortable guest rooms available. The serene lake adds to the charm, perfect for peaceful walks and enjoying nature.A unique feature of this place is the interesting sculptures made from old bikes and scooter parts, adding a fun and artistic touch.Getting here involves a scenic long ride, which is part of the fun. The retreat's proximity to Kurnool Airport makes it convenient for travelers.Overall, this retreat offers a great mix of nature, fun activities, good food, and a relaxing atmosphere with a ticket price of about ₹10 per head. Highly recommended for families and anyone looking to unwind.Ig: @kullatankin

Different experience. The stay at Andhra Pradesh tourism Rock garden is quite nice. Location is great. But need more maintenance for the guest house. They charge near about 1600/- per night for stay. By need more cleaning and maintenance for the room and bathroom also.

Orvakal Rock Garden, or Oravakallu Rock Garden, is the 1000 acre Sculpture Garden park with ancient cave and igneous rock formations between pools of water. It is located on NH-40 highway, outside the village of Orvakal, about 20 kilometres from Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, southern India. There is a lot of facilities include Boating, Hotel etc., The park, with hiking paths that snake up a hill, was developed by the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation.The content of the rocks is quartz and silica, a raw material for the glass industry. Several companies have petitioned for the ability to mine the area, which raises ecological concerns. The garden has been a site for film production, which has resulted in another ecological concern due to plaster of paris remnants left at the park after the movies were completed.

Good place, had fun. Food was good and staff was helpful.

Orvakallu Rock Garden is a Well known Tourist spot in AP.located about 20k. From Kurnool.The Main Attraction is Large number of rock Formations that can be found throughout the area the rocks are quite unique and Offer a Breathtaking view, especially during sunrise and Sunset.the Maintenance and Cleanliness are commendable.the pathways are well paved and there are amle seating areas to relax and enjoy surroundings.its a must visit Destination with its natural beauty it's a Delightful experience the Rock garden will surely leave you mesmerized.Cottages are also there to stay with AC rooms.

Nano-fied version of the Grand Canyon..Lots of recreated creatures from waste will get you crazy clicks... Good place to hang out for an hour!

Beautiful place, you can enjoy sunrise and sunset.

The rock garden near Kurnool is one such gem...we visited this place while we were on the way between kurnool to belum caves. A great place to explore and hang out for a 1-2 hours...There is accomodation and a restaurant also at the site...

It's more like a picnic area but not a resort.Very good place for photoshoots and not a good option for staycation.Less facilities and so avoid staying.

Amazing Boating Journey To Reach Akkamahadevi Caves, Wonderful Nature And Mesmerizing Waterway That Winds Way Through The Landscape, Nurturing Life And Captivating The Senses

Amazing

It takes 4 hrs for up and down to the cave . Boat travel is about 1 -130 hrs .Won’t suggest for very senior people and people have knee problem . There is deep steep stairs for boarding the boat and also to wards the cave.Inside the cave it’s stuffy and dust hence suggest nose cover or mask will be good . The cave is very dark and you may have to use mobile torch inside .Suggest you to carry water bottle and if need be some snacks as you don’t get any thing on the way or at the cave . They charge you 650/- per person and only one trip a day starts at 10 am . The apsrtc booking office opens by 9am .

It's a lifetime visit. A very beautiful journey on the Krishna river for 1 hr.The ticket price is 650.

Though many people posted reviews here but this is not the right location for the place.It is in between river and mountain range and the only way to reach there is by ferry (boat).I have posted a detailed review of Akkamahadevi on the original tagged location named "Akkamahadevi Caves and Swayambhu Shivlinga" please read that.Photos I have posted are simply for reference of real location.

Morning five ki velli registration chesuko valli per person 450 carry water bottle and some snakes

This place is near Srisailam. You can take a boat ride and reach this cave. Very beautiful cave. You have to crawl few meeter to see a naturally formed shiv lingam. This place is historical and the rock formation is very nice. Very calmly and quite place for meditation.

Akka mahadevi caves is a place to visit near shrisailam where in the caves there is a shivalingam in the cave where water drop is observed on the top all the time

So many years old cave , cave has beautiful view

We had a wonderful experience at #SrisailamReservoir and #AkkaMahadeviTemple

Spiritual Importance to veerashiva lingayats. It is believed this is the place where saint akkamahadevi stayed and meditated and experienced union(aikya).Good cave experience, can expect bats as we enter cave with strong smell of cave . one needs to be more careful as the rocks inside are sharp and it gets narrow as we progress inside. Swayambhu Linga is some 200 meters from the cave entry point.

Boat travel is very nice and caves are must visit

Good Place to visit Every weekend

Vist one and experience it by yourself.6am ticket booking rope way9am be thereStarts at 10 or 11.... return by 1.30pm or 2.30pm

It's a nice place to visit.. u will come to know the story of a Lord Siva devotee Akka Mahadevi who used to meditate.. the story would be narrated by boat driver in Telugu.. it was nice experience. Also all the way to Akka Mahadevi traveling by boat and the rope way was good..

The biodiversity here is impressive.5. **Accessibility:**- Located relatively close to Hyderabad, Ananthagiri Hills is easily accessible by road. The drive itself is scenic and enjoyable.**Negatives:**1. **Muddy Trails During Rain:**- One downside was the muddy trails during the rainy season. The paths became slippery and challenging to navigate.

There are limited dining and accommodation options, so it’s advisable to plan accordingly.3. **Connectivity Issues:**- Mobile network coverage was inconsistent, which might be a concern if you need to stay connected. However, this can also be seen as a positive for those looking to completely unplug.4. **Crowds on Weekends:**- During weekends and holidays, the place can get a bit crowded. If you’re seeking solitude, it might be better to visit on weekdays.**Conclusion:**Overall, Ananthagiri Hills is a fantastic destination for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts.

Best sunrise point and best weekend nature place to hangout n camp n have some refreshments

Nice place to visit with family are with friends..a round 80 km from Hyderabad ,hill station worth visiting.nearest town is vikarabad its around 5km from anathagiri .on the way to hills Anathapadmanabha swami temple is there another must visit place .Anathagiri hills are good from tracking ,government parking place is there ,there is no food available near the hills but around 5km there are many food places are there .plan your food accordingly

Medium sized hill area, close within Hyderabad city. Good for a one day travel and return. Visit points are Temple, hill view and elevated plain area with mild forest. Nothing much to see. Just good for outing. There are a lot of agricultural fields on the way. Parking available. Negetive side is there are no restaurants upside. Temple has a small market area.

Not Bad and Not Good Either...Only Two Mountain View Points which are okay and one mountain tower to get the best view and the best part is you have to pay 10 Rs to climb the tower for each person.. there is no direction Mark to help you guide through.There are no shops restaurants and no toilets available nearby.Even the ticket counter is not built.Recommended to visit Only in Rainy Season.

Water view point is so good and also connect with nature to see

Visited Ananta Padmanabha swamy temple. Temple is good. No other place is good. Don't expect that u will be in lush green forest.

Nice experience from the top view point. Peaceful place. Good place for trekking no straight road only we need to climb mountains to see view point. Recommended to also visit Kothapalli reservoir nearby for boating.

Recommend for nature lover.More beauty on monsoon

Hello friends, my name is Narasimha, today I came to Anantagiri hills, it is very beautiful, my friends, here I cooked delicious food,🥰⭐ here I heated and drank delicious ginger chai, drinking chai in such a natural environment reminded me of the Taj Mahal tea ad on TV. ☕🫖Friends🤫😀🎉I ate delicious food and drank water here in this natural forest. Follow my local guide account, my friends.

Wonderful place to trek n then have a good weekend with friends just 2 km from hyd stay is also not required u will njoy with ur good ones.

Super location for outing, but approaching roads are getting bad. government should provide minimum facilities like, washrooms and sitting areas.

This is a good sunrise and sunset point. If the weather is good, then the trail is awesome. Avoid between 12 to 4 PM in summer. Parking and trekking tickets are there.

Best place to visit in Aug month

A difficult trek for the first timers, need to be careful if you are having kids along the trek

When we visited it was the winter season. We enjoyed it a lot.

Very good experience, Ananthagiri Hills is an absolute gem! The lush green landscapes, tranquil atmosphere, and stunning views make it a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. The trekking trails offer a refreshing adventure, leading to breathtaking viewpoints. The coffee plantations and waterfalls add to the beauty of this place.

Excellent place and a historic heritage spot. The area of fort is large, hilly and beautiful. The view from the top most point is breath taking. Try to avoid visiting this place in Sunny Day because of the heat else keep umbrella, hat or water bottle to deal with it. Not recommended for elderly people/ people having heart issue to climb to the top of the Fort as the steps are not easy to take. Overall it was an amazing experience.

This place is good to time spend, and learn about our history.If you want to go there then take care to your bikes in parking for helmets and your luggage, speakers and standard is not allowed in fort. You can carry on the camera take a separate ticket for your camera.Understanding you can take a guide just for 500 or 1000 and 1500 rs.Indian citizen ticket has been 25 rupees and foreigner 300 rupees. You can buy online tickets from there official website which is set link through a QR. ....

We are from Thane/Mumbai and this was my first visit to Hyderabad and to the Golconda fort. We had a really thrilling and wonderful experience at the site. Firstly, the day luckily was amply breezy, so architecturally beautiful and the scenic beauty was evident as we climbed to the top, nearly 700 plus steps.The site has been kept clean and the caves and rooms provide a cool shade for the brief pauses as one climbs to the top.It really is a photographer's delight!!

Good place for a few hours outing.Bring water with you else it will be hard to find on the way up.Most of the areas are well maintained. Parking and wheelchair access is there but not ideal for wheelchair use.Great view of the city from the top.Go during the afternoon for better pictures.Though morning and noon will be less crowded.

Highly recommended destination if you are visiting Hyderabad. Others have written excellent reviews so I will focus on items relevant to someone visiting from outside India (I am from the US).There is a different price for non-locals. At the time I was there, it was 200 rupees. Would HIGHLY recommend getting a guide. Paid 500 rupees a person for the group I was with. You will pay at the end and you should also consider tipping as the tour fee will not go directly to your guide. There will be two options: long or short. Long includes the steps, short does not. It was about 1+ hours for the short tour. In addition to learning about the history, the guide will point out great photo spots and will take your picture.Signage is in English. There is a refreshment area, but I did not see what was for sale. Also toilets near the end of the tour.Also a light show in the evening, but I was there mid-day so cannot assess.Was there during the week, no line to get in.

A very lovely place to visit. One of the best tourist place in Hyderabad. Its clean and good maintained. Yes a very historic and lovely to explore. It has a very huge area. Its best if you take a lot of time and come and explore each and every small little things. Fabulous. Also very good attraction for photographers. Great photography spots.. much visit.

Nice place to visit if you are in Hyderabad. The evening light and sound show is under repair hence we couldn't watch it. This happens in evening 6:30. Make sure you check it's website before planning for this show.Fort is big and has good history. Make sure you either read book or better take a tourist guide along. There are places where even if you whisper the sound travels more than a kilometre. Very thoughtful how in history people actually used knowledge of science which we just read and never use. Simple concepts but executed in perfection.You do not have washrooms here. So take care.

This historically significant place is one of my personal favourites. Among all my journeys to historic places, the one I took to this particular spot is truly unforgettable. It was a great experience to explore this ancient world. It was extremely awesome to roam around inside and outside the fort. I enjoyed each and every moment of that visit.

This place is beautiful. You can see whole Hyderabad view from its top.I have visited this place on 14 august so it was fully decorated & lighten up in trị colors that was so amazing to see.I will attach some pictures for your references.I have watched the light & sound show that was not worth at all.Frankly I did not like that show & leave it after 15 min. There were so much mosquitoes 🦟 at the night.So that is my short review about this place.

I visited this fantastic place for the first time in my life. The whole place is really good and the view from the top is non- forgettable. One small problem is the pungent smell on the top of the fort.yiu can see the whole city from this place. Get your water bottles before climbing, because sometimes shops are close inside the fort and they have only two shops at the height.

A must visit place to visit due to its historical significance. You should visit the fort in day time and avoid entering it after 4pm as the fort closes at 5.30pm in the evening.You will need around 2 to 3 hours and keep some food handy with you, you will not get anything except drinking water at the fort. It is recommended to visit during the second half of the day and then continue with a sound and light show at the fort to know its rich cultural history.

A massive and impressive fort. With many interesting corners, building, and roadways. The view at the top is breathtaking and majestic. Absolute must visit for anyone new to Hyderabad 👍🙂

Golconda fort is one of best tourist attractions of Hyderabad. This amazing historical place is situated in the western outskirts of Hyderabad.If you love adventure then this is the perfect place for you to visit. It will take a minimum of two to three hours to visit this place completely.We climbed up the stairs to reach top of the fort. It is suggested to avoid steep staircase to climb up. There is one comparatively flat staircase at the right side of the fort. Don't forget to carry water while climbing as it could be very tiring. One could enjoy the breath-taking views from the top. Spend some serene time to enjoy archaeological excellence of this place. You would definitely get amazed to their water supply system.One could take guide to know more about this place. Also one can enjoy light and show in the evening.

Located in Centre of Hyderabad, its one of main tourist spot.Typically can spent 2-3 hours.Nothing special, but history.Interested persons can hire a guide, so they'll take us through history of the fort, and and also many ancient scientific things used.Always remember to keep a bottle of water and coolers.City view from top is worth.Can have nice time with friends and family.

Beautiful fort!Might be good to read up on the history before or you can take a guide too but it’s better if you explore it yourself. The view from the top is amazing but the stairs are quite the journey. Don’t forget cap, water and sun protection.

Great place to visit with friends and family. Try to visit in the evening and watch the sunset from the top of the fort. Very clean and well maintained surroundings.It'll be a little hard for elderly people to get to the top even though there are well build stairs throughout. Try to bring a hat or umbrella and water if you're visiting the place on a sunny day

think the best time to visit this place is around 4.30pm whence you can stroll through the place in the evening sun and will also get time to capture pictures while you are going up the fort. It is beautiful to see the setting sun from the highest point in the place. There's no need to take a guide if you have the background knowledge about the place as they are going to describe only the significance of the various spots on the way.we can beautiful sunset and it's a historical place....#entry fee 20# parking available

Amazing place to explore this history ...Try to avoid visiting this place in Sunny Day because of the heat else keep umbrella, hat or water bottle to deal with it. Not recommended for elderly people/ people having heart issue to climb to the top of the Fort as the steps are not easy to take. Overall it was an amazing experience

The fort is situated on a granite hill, the inner fort contains palaces, and mosques and there is a hill top pavilion. Most of these palaces and mosques are in ruins now, but still depict the magnificence of this place. If you are in Hyderabad, then you mustn't miss this place. There is a light and sound show in the evening. You can take the light and sound show tickets at around 5.30 PM. Paid parking is available, and parking fee is Rs. 50/-. Entry fee for this fort is Rs. 25/- per head and free for children. Also they only take cash for tickets, UPI or card payment not available, also they expect exact ticket amount, so one need to carry exact change.

It's a nice place to experience the old architecture. It's big and will take some time to explore completely. It has some good points where you can get good pictures clicked. You will have to walk a lot if you want to get to the top and witness the beautiful sunset. We made it on time and witnessed the sunset. The view is amazing. You can see the city from there. It has multiple spots to get some good pictures clicked. It also has a temple which you can visit. You can find shops selling water, juices and snacks at some dedicated points so no need to carry anything. A very photogenic place just don't litter there, put stuff in the bins which you'll find multiple places within the campus.

If you are a history lover you will really like this place. Entry fee 25/-, don't carry luggage, No water & wash rooms, when we visited this fort fired grass on the hill so take care summer.Guide facility available.Sun glasses.9AM to 5PM.

When I visited, it was drizzling slightly, which added to the charm of the experience. The fort had a touch of greenery, and at the top, there was a temple dedicated to Devi. The view from there was breathtaking, making it an excellent weekend getaway. Climbing the 360 steps provides a great workout and rewards you with stunning scenery. I recommend going in the evening to catch the sunset.

Entertaining is 25 each, 25 for Camera. You must visit this fort at least once. It is well-maintained and clean. From the top, you'll be delighted by the stunning view of Hyderabad's white buildings all around. There's also a temple at the top. The view from there is truly beautiful. Additionally, there's a light show every evening at 7 PM. I recommend taking the OoR service road to avoid traffic.

This is one marvellous fort. We had taken a guide which had costed us around 1K. The guide was the one which made the tour worth it. Knowing all the history and various architectural marvel was really great. One should definitely book a guide. Overall a must visit.P.S. book your tickets online to save 5 rupees per head.

A lot of history lies here.Keep good amount of time to explore those.Carry water with you as you have to walk a bit. Water is available at the top of the fort but they don’t accept UPI payment generally. Hence having physical cash is suggested.Hiring the local tour guides will be the best option if you are really interested in knowing facts about the place.Once at the top of the fort, it gives a spectacular view of the city..!!

Visiting Golconda Fort was an incredible journey into the past!

Centuries old fort of Hyderabad glorifying the history of the City. Must visit iconic fort on a chilling windy afternoon to explore the hill and the fort's architecture. Do climb to the hilltop to get a glimpse of the city landscape. The steps are wide and not slippery so the climb up is not so difficult as well. Entry ticket is Rs. 25/- per person (Indian citizens - ensure you carry enough cash, you can alternatively book your tickets online instead).

Golkonda fort is a must visit in your Hyderabad trip or if you stay there. Better to take a guide who can explain various nuances of the fort and also include stories of the kings at that time. I had been to earlier sound and light show and now recently launched (2024) laser show. Both were amazing but the recent one is bit better than the earlier one.Visiting in a weekday is better to avoid crowds.

Loved visiting this historic location. The fort features technological marvels way ahead of its time.It is recommended that one reached the fort by 4PM and hire a guide. You can walk the entire stretch of the fort by 6:30PM. Recommended to travel light and water points are available at various location on the fort. I carried water bottles.There is a temple atop the fort.Washrooms are available close to the garden and adjacent to the light and sound show seating area.Later you can buy tickets for the Light and sound show that starts at 7PM (English show ). I am attaching the photo of the timings and fare.I request the administration to put up more sign boards showing directions and a brief on the various buildings within the fort complex

My visit to Golconda fort with my wife was truly enjoyable. The fort’s stunning architecture and historic significance made for an enriching experience. The views from the top were amazing. It was a day well spent, combining history with quality time together. Highly recommended!

Historical place to visit 🏰 huge palace.. a good place for school visits🏫....we can view the entire Hyderabad view from top of fort🔭 ....if u wanna know more about fort.. guide facility is also available there.. entry fee💵 is very minimal as Rs.20 for adults and Rs. 10 for kids... Overall a great historical place to visit ✨👌👌

Good tourist place.Guide was charging 750 for short and 1000 for long tour. We visited on our own.Light show separate ticket needed to purchase. Nice Hindu temple is also at top. Lot of walking required. Be prepared for that.View from top is awesome. Look towards Qutub Sahi Toombs.One small scam I noticed was ticket counter was giving away only Hindi booklet no English booklet so that tourist had to buy the English one from local vendor or seller.

It was an amazing experience visiting this place. The best attraction in entire Hyderabad, probably because of the guide who gave a deep dive into the history of the place. Highly recommended for people who like historical landmarks or even if you don't.

What a well maintained monument. Good to explore on your own or get a guide. Some parts may be confusing but follow instruction and there are security guards across the paths.

Maintained well. Clean place to visit for a few hours. You need to climb a lot of stairs. Some places such as the stables are filled with bats, so take care.

Waste of time. No food inside. Only tap water is available on the upper side. No information written about every place. Some names are mentioned. No maintenance.unosco heritage but not good take care. Only stairs are their😄.not preferred but you have a lots of time than you can go and you want see city from the top than must go. That view is awesome. You should be 4 pm after visiting the fort you can watch the light and sound show from 7 pm onwards.

I love how the place tell all the history.For me once you visit Hyderabad this is one of the must see place you need to visit. So far I love India ❤️But don't forget to bring umbrella fan and water once you visit here and make it around 3pm so later the day you can watch the light show.

It was an amazing experience there. We could not reach the highest point as it was close, so it was a little disappointing. But the place was great. It's a go to place to go with your friends and family. There's a lot of walking so keep food and drinks handy. Always carry cash.

What a glorious historical place to visit!! I went to this fort on a sunny morning and the beauty of the structure against the blue sky was breathtaking. Also I managed to climb up to the top and the view of the entire city was mesmerizing. Such structures tell us how advanced ancient technology was so advanced at that time. Though the interior is almost in ruins, the structure tells a lot about the legacy and aura of emperors.

Great historical place to spend a day at Hyderabad city, the vintage Car collection has my heart ♡♡♡ A museum is there within which has the things used by the great king and his family. Maintained well and tidy.Have to wait few minutes to grab your ticket, online bookings are recommended to save time. 100 INR worth spent 💥

Beautiful palace with several separate buildings. There is a huge fountain in the middle with many flower plants. The decorations inside the rooms are fantastic. A few areas are closed to the public though. They also have many items for display, like clothes, ceramics, weaponry, cars, etc. We had a very good time here.

The vintage vehicle collection is the main attraction here. Make sure to visit this place for 2 hours to thoroughly enjoy. Lawn is well maintained. Don't forget to carry your own water bottles. And also there are very limited food options.

*Chowmahalla Palace*An extraordinary place to visit in Hyderabad, contains 4 palaces just as described in the name.There’s a canteen available with limited food options, separate washrooms for men & women.Better to visit in weekdays (heavy crowds on weekends).Couldn’t find any tour guide for an explanation but there’s lot of information available next to the item/place/antiques.As there’s lot of walking around, better to carry water bottles..

The beautiful palace is located near the Charminar. The entry ticket is Rs.100 per person. The place is very neat and clean and there is no rush. You can see the whole place in about 2 hours. They also have a vintage cars collection along with motorcycles. The armory is also impressive and also has some old currency and soldier's uniform and one can get much knowledge about the history. The palace is of the royal family of Hyderabad. Very impressive paintings over there. It is worth a visit there.

Best place to visit with friends and family.Gives insight about our ancestors Nawabs and their lifestyle. We get to know about history of our Hyderabad.Ample space for parking is available.Canteen for snacks is available.Wheel chair accessibility is available but to see the palace need to climb stairs which may not be possible.

Mesmerizing architecture, well maintained and allowed all over the palace, no restrictions at most of the places, every frame is photogenic, every wall pulls you towards it, the lawn is green, clean with fountain in between the lawn, 1 day is more than sufficient, Timings : 10AM-5PM, tickets are issued at the entrance, a small canteen is inside too, and washrooms.Totally, loved the place and not even a single boring spot over there..!Must visit if you are in Hyderabad.!

Rich, Elegant, Detailed, Royal, Stunning. It is a great place to spend time in the city. The entry fee is Rs.100 per person, but it is worth the spend. There is a museum shop where you could buy silk clothes, books etc. You could also take Royal pictures of yourself (Costumes provided) at the palace for Rs.100. There is ample parking space, place to sit and relax. The design of the palace was so detailed and intricate. The Royal belongings were well preserved and a treat to the eyes as the observer could see the entire life and imagine it.

Best place in Hyderabad for clicking nice pics. The whole palace looks so royal and elegant. There are many antique pieces such as royal clothing, the vehicles used at that time and many more.The entry ticket is 100rs per person which I think is worth spending. But they say that for phone photography you have to pay 50 rs which is not at all required. So don't fall for it...It is a must visit place when you are nearby charminar as it is just 10 mins walk from there.

Great exploring it on an afternoon before going to Charminar. Ticket for adults is ₹100. The way to the palace has a fountain and many trees which makes it look aesthetic and once we enter the palace the chandeliers look so amazing. They have well organised all vintage things. Good to spend some time here.

Most underrated places in Hyderabad.Palace is beautiful and serene, spread across vast land (though the palace is small in size).Highlight is Vintage ROYAL car collection of Royal family. 1912 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost is such a beauty along with other collection.Must visit.

Palace of Nizam’s. Grand palace which is turned to a museum which shows the history of Nizam’s. Garden is also present where one can relax on the grass. Beautiful pictures can be captured at the backdrop of the grand looking buildings. Also multiple vintage cars are exhibited which has been preserved very beautifully.

I really enjoyed been to this palace. Though I don't have much knowledge and deep interest in history.But people should visit with their family/friends gang with ample of time.Long story short, Great day spent.🤘Happy Sunday 😊

A massive eighteenth century palace of Nizams of Hyderabad spread in 12 acres was well maintained & conserved. Large courtyards & ceremonial halls were impressive. Belgian chandeliers & beautiful marbles were amazing. We took picture in Royal dress, it was wonderful. A good collection of vintage cars was outstanding. Cleanliness of the palace was noteworthy.

Absolutely beautiful place. One of the most good looking palaces I've been to and so well maintained inside. The staff from the lady handling the washroom to the security guards around, everyone is so courteous and warm. The area has lots of palaces and places to see around. The car collection is also a must see because its absolutely fascinating how there are cars more than 100 years old. Must visit in hydrebad!!

In the entrance. It's like an abundance building. But entering into the main Mahal is amazing. Very nice and beautiful place. Nice Museum. Must visit this place.

This one's a must visit for History enthusiasts.The museum is entirely well marked with information and display.It would easily take 3-4 hours for someone to go through it all in detail.Well maintained palace, pathways.Clean and functioning toilets from the look of it.A canteen with snacks and beverages.Enough parking inside the compound.

Must visit inspiring landmarks in Hyderabad. Walkable distance from the charminar. My guests liked it a lot. I am always amazed by the beauty of the palace.

Worth visiting if are interested in Nizam Family and History who have contributed lot in development of Hyderabad.It is nicely maintained and clean place. The openness of the palace / large garden and ponds add to the beautyThe artwork on ceiling of palace is par excellenceWorth visiting once

My visit to the palace was a captivating experience filled with awe and wonder. The grandeur of the architecture, intricate detailing, and historical significance left a lasting impression on me. As I wandered through the opulent halls and rooms, each telling its own story, I couldn't help but marvel at the artistry and craftsmanship of a bygone era. The palace grounds, adorned with lush gardens and majestic courtyards, added to the overall splendor. Exploring the rich history within those walls transported me to a different time, making the visit truly memorable.

Beautiful quaint palace in old city. It’s surrounded by sprawling grounds with a few other smaller palaces.They have artifacts on display about the arts, crafts, weapons, crockery that belonged to the Nizams.The palace is well maintained and is worth a visit to anyone who is interested in the history of the Nizams and that of Hyderabad.

No charge for mobile photography.Parking: Available for bike (₹10 charges, you can UPI the parking charges to the guy). Limited space for car parking, there was a long line outside as the card parking was full.Washroom: Available at the entrance and maybe 1-2 more. Clean.Drinking water: Available at the entrance (not sure if it is filtered). I encourage to please carry non-plastic water bottles.Review:• May visit once. Can avoid if limited time• Clean place, open parks to sit. Good place to chill/rest but nothing much to see here (Please keep in mind I have been to a lot of museums hence my review)• Swords/historical war equipment on display, good for children• Photogenic place, can have good photos for Instagram ;)• Vintage car display - a quick 5 min tour• Chandeliers are a beauty though, loved the touch• Still under-construction, 2-3 properties are still closed• At the entrance they have a place where you can try the shahi outfits for some charge

It's a beautiful building complex with 4 courtyards surrounded by heritage palaces. It's a museum hosting some beautiful cutlery, silver work, wooden antiques, artillery, vintage cars, etc. The highlight of the place is the Darbar filled with beautiful detailing work.Entry free is Rs100 for Indians and Rs400 for Foreign Nationals. There's a small canteen where you can buy snacks, cold drinks or coffee/tea.

Chowmahalla is wonderful place to visit with family and friends. Wear traditional dress and take photo this is good place for taking photographs also good for wedding photoshoot.

You should not miss this place at any cost. I would recommend no matter what ..no matter how many times u have been to Hyderabad u should see it again and again. The place is an perfection! Me personally being a lover of Art this place has got into my nerves I mean I could go everyday here and sketch out literally everything!!! The wall art..the roof design...the chandelier the colour scheme the crockry!!!! Just over the top of everything!!

It's a beautiful historical place ! If you want to know about the history of Hyderabad princely state and about the kingdom, you can visit here ! Everything is beautiful here and its arranged and well maintained! The ticket charge is 100 rupees and for mobile it costs 50 rupees ! Parking is also available. And you can see those places peacefully!!! Try it out

This palace belonged to the Nizams and was opened to the public as a museum in the early 2000s. It is surrounded by narrow crowded roads and encroached by modern houses all around. The place has the main palace, a garden and courtyard kind of thing in the front, a clock tower and smaller mahals around it. The main palace has the darbar with beautiful chandeliers, rooms with the description of the history of Hyderabad and the Nizam Lineage. Also, there are rooms with old currency, seals, crockery, royal arms, army attires, etc. There is a beautiful garden at the back also with a small fountain/pond. Some of the mahals were closed or under renovation. Was disappointed as I couldn't see the Vintage cars. Overall, it is a good place to spend a couple of hours. Entry is 100rs per person, and you also have to pay 50rs if you want to click photos on the phone(but no one checks this). Beware of the parking lot supervisor. They try to extract more parking fees than the actual.

Chowmahalla Palace, once the royal seat of the Nizams, is a stunning blend of Persian, Rajasthani, and European architectural styles.Visiting Information:- Opening Hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (closed on Mondays and national holidays).- Ticket Prices: ₹50 for entry, ₹50 for photography.- Best Time to Visit: October to March.How to Get There:- By Metro: I visited via the metro, which is economical and convenient. The nearest station is MG Bus Stand, just 4 km away.- By Bus: Well-connected to nearby bus stations.Nearby Attractions:- Charminar and Salar Jung Museum are close by.Chowmahalla Palace is a must-visit for its historical significance and architectural beauty.

Make sure to bring some snacks or eat beforehand, as the palace doesn't provide any snacks for visitors and closes at 5 pm. We found ourselves quite hungry by lunchtime. It was quite hot, so staying hydrated is essential. A great experience for anyone interested in history and beautiful architecture.

The place has lost its charm and the waiting time is too high. Parking is a huge problem and they have closed a lot of parking spaces. The palace itself is in a shabby condition in a few areas and the maintenance is not like before. A few of the mahals are closed to the public which were open before. I would recommend going here on a weekday rather than a weekend as traffic in the city is horrible. People don't communicate and literally barge in when you are viewing the palace. Beware of scamsters and locals here.

A well maintained place with a parking lot. This place is peaceful and you can sit on the stairs for a while to experience solitude. ✨You can roam around the place and enjoy every bit of it.They also have a vintage car exhibition part 🏎️People might mislead you saying that the place is closed for the tourists, but it is not.Visit the place and have fun 🥳✨

It is a very nice place. As soon as you enter here, first of all the view of the front of the palace will fascinate you and as soon as you enter inside, you will get to see the Diwan-e-Aam and you will go crazy with the carvings on the walls there.

The Chowmahalla Palace is one of the major tourist attractions of Hyderabad. This place is at walkable distance from Charminar.One would definitely love the beautiful architecture and serene atmosphere of this place. It will take about 2 to 2.5 hours to visit this place.It is a wonderful place to spend time with family. Kids will love this place as there is so much open space to run around.The mind blowing collection of artifact, porcelain/glass utensils, cutlery and vintage car of Nizams will make you spellbound. Your Hyderabad visit will be incomplete without seeing this place.

Must visit place if you are in Hyderabad for leisure and experience the historical aspects of Nizam’s reign.This place is famous for its stunning architecture and historical significance. It was the official residence of the Nizams of Hyderabad and is known for its impressive collection of palaces, courtyards, and artifacts, showcasing the opulence of the Nizam era in India.The entry ticket value is pretty high 100/- but I would say it’s worth to have in your itinerary.

Architecture was very nice and their history also explained very neatly with the presentation of their photos and their household items like kitchen items and sofas, their clothing style and sandals and shoes also very different. Showed their weapons also. Beautiful part is Architecture and it took 3hrs to cover and its worth. Ticket price 100 Rupees per Head. For foreigners 400 Rupees per Head

I recently visited Charminar, a timeless icon of Hyderabad, and had a fantastic experience despite the crowds. The structure's rich history and beautiful architecture make it a must-see. Exploring the surrounding local markets was a highlight, offering a wide variety of delicious street food. However, be prepared for dense crowds and long lines, especially on weekends. Parking can be a challenge, so consider public transport. Visit early in the morning for a more serene experience.

Nice place lots of rooms with numerous traditions and heritage of ancient culture and mughal era

It is one of the best museums I have ever visited. It is a huge one and can get your whole day to see it all. I will recommend buying tickets in advance from BMS especially on weekends. There are plenty of collections of almost everything which you can think of for museums. The paintings are eye-catching. There are also some monuments which are pleasing to the eyes and also many of them are from foreign country cultures. I will definitely recommend a visit there.

One of the big museums in India.Variety of collections of old-age India kept here.You need to buy tickets before entering.One of the best things is that Soldier Clock at the time of 12 o'clock. Western block & Eastern Block,two parts are there.It needs 3-4 hours to visit the whole museum.

The place is great for history and art enthusiasts. It was full packed down on Saturday when I visited. People come with full families.There are so many attractions in the museum. We waited for the musical clock but it was not that worth it.But, the elephant tusk section is really good, though. Metal section is also really good. It's way way better than the museum at Chowmahalla Palace.The cafeteria is okay, you will get everything but would have to pay good money. Not enough space, it was total chaos at the cafeteria. Although, there is a restaurant, it was outside the main museum building.Visit on a weekday if you want to explore peacefully but I have heard, its mostly crowded everyday.

It's a great place for those who are interested in historical things, 2-3 hours required to complete the visit, canteen available inside, outside food not allowed.Parking available but you may face shortage of space. Mobile/backpack not allowed, clock room available to deposit these things on payment basis. Mobile camera allowed on payment of Rs. 50/- per mobile.It's better to take tickets online in advance.

It is possible to buy tickets online which I recommend if you go during public holidays.The museum is pretty big and the collections are fantastic. I found the Asian collection and also the literature collection to be very impressive. There are other rare collections like a carpet collection which might interest some people.If you like art, don't miss this museum.

The one drawback is for each phone or camera you have to pay extra to take inside. The canteen is good too. Overall a good space with such a unique collection and well maintained

Amazed to see the collections of just one man that spread across 2 floors. Well maintained alleys rooms and lights add to the ambiance. For more details, the authority offers an app for an audio enabled guided tour. I haven't tried the same, but someone availed that the facility can comment on how helpful it is. Do not forget to sit on the chairs in front of the famous manual musical clock to capture the hourly chimes. Ivory room, clock room, and the double faced sculpture Mephistopheles & Margaretta are must watch.

Providing a captivating journey through the dynastic past. The museum offers a rich tapestry of artifacts, each telling a unique story of the eras. Exploring its exhibits becomes a fascinating exploration of the history of Hyderabad and its rulers. The meticulously curated collection allows visitors to connect with the cultural legacy, unraveling the nuances of the city's history.

Long queue for getting entry tickets. Need to take 50 rs ticket for taking mobile photo. The collection is extensive, and we can easily spend more than 4 hours looking. Ezhibits from different countries shown here.

This place is a gem and hence one needs time to see details. I would say around 2-3 hours is good time if one wants to see entire museum. Well maintained and some sections are air conditioned and some not so one will feel heat while moving. Lot of details to see. There is canteen out there but I found it to be ok though people are dedicated and serve you happily. Cloak room is available with locker so you can leave your phone and bags.

Good place to visit. All the artifact's are stored nicely. Musical clock is the major attraction. Lift facility should be provided for senior citizens and disabled people. Food court to be improved. More seating to be added and counters should also be added at least on holidays. Over all good place to visit.

Certainly a great place for kids and adults to get a peak into the history. To think that this collection is by a single person is simply amazing. The place is nicely maintained, food courts have good tasty food reasonably priced.

It's a massive museum having different artifacts from different regions. I really loved the place and feel good to know about our history. There are several sections such as french, Japanese, Chinese and of course Indian history. I would suggest booking tickets online. Overall the experience was good

Absolutely love this place. If you're a history enthusiast, then this place is a heaven. They have a very vast yet finer collection of pieces. The art gallery is astounding. Words seriously cannot describe the brilliance of this place.

Museum of good collection. Situated in center of city near to Charminar and Nehru Zoological park. China clay vases bronze statues European paintings and musical clock are the main attraction. Spend a whole day then you can watch it completely.

If you want to learn about Hyderabad’s Amazing history and experience the antique things which were used by previous kings and nizam’s then this is a best place to visit for you.This museum is a very peaceful place and it’ll take 2-3 hours of your time to completely explore the museum.

Salar Jung Museum: A Treasure Trove of HistorySalar Jung Museum offers a captivating journey through time, showcasing a vast collection of artifacts from around the world. As a history enthusiast, I was thoroughly impressed by the diverse and exquisite exhibits. From ancient sculptures to intricate textiles, the museum's treasures are sure to delight visitors of all ages. While exploring the museum's expansive halls may take some time, the experience is well worth the effort. I highly recommend Salar Jung Museum to anyone seeking a cultural and educational adventure.

Such a huge and vast museum. So many things to see many historical things are kept here. Parking charges for bikes are 20 rupees and entry tickets for Indian adults - 50, child - 20 and for mobile and camera they charge 50 also. I think that's ok. The mobile ticket will get access to use the audio guide for the museum and I think that's a good integration and it makes the ticket worth it and justify the pricing. In this huge museum you have to pay for everything even for the washroom. Online tickets are a little complicated. Otherwise everything goes smoothly.

Salarjung Museum is a large museum of Hyderabad . It’s huge . They have all the collections of ancient history of Hyderabad. It will take you almost 2 hr if you want to take the full experience. And you have to walk a lot in this building. If you have time the. Experience the history of Hyderabad.

One of the highlights for me was the Veiled Rebecca statue, which is incredibly detailed and beautiful. Another must-see is the Cuckoo Clock, which draws a crowd every hour.The museum is well-organized, with different sections for sculptures, paintings, textiles, and more. I was particularly fascinated by the Jade Room and the Ivory Carvings. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the place was clean and well-maintained.The entry fee is quite reasonable, and they charge a small fee for taking photos with your mobile phone. I spent about 3 hours there, but you could easily spend more time if you want to see everything in detail.Overall, I highly recommend visiting the Salar Jung Museum if you’re in Hyderabad. It’s a great place to learn about history and art, and there’s something for everyone to enjoy

Lot of history and amazing artifacts but the place can be renovated and better facilitated for tourists and visitors alike as the place has become very old at this point. Other than that its a worthy place to visit for history enthusiasts.

Once in a lifetime experience to witness such a rare collection of art and objects from various parts of the world in one place. Now I can relate to Nizams being the richest in the world during their times

A very well maintained museum. The ticket prices are very less just Rs 50 for adults and Rs 20 for children. They are charging 50 rs per mobile which I feel is fine.The museum is well organized with different rooms on a separate level.The main attraction is the veiled Rebecca and Cuckoo clock. They have provided a floor map on each ticket which is kind of helpful. They have a food court which has a lot of food items and it is required since one can spend the whole day in this museum.For kids there is a lot of learning going through each room and I can see the excitement in the kids faces. The museum houses unique collections of art and collectibles from around the world.

An amazing place to visit and explore the history. The paintings section is amazing, particularly the miniature paintings of the mugal era. The Modern Indian art section, arms, statues etc are equally important to visit. Do visit if you want to know our past.But mobile/camera tickets to click photo and spend atleast 5 hr in the museum.

A real great experience to know all about our Indian/hyderabad history. Would easily take you about 2-3 hours without a guide to cover the place. Buying tickets online would really help to beat the line, and taking the 1st slot right when the museum opens is the best time to visit.

The Salar Jung Museum is an absolute must-visit for history and art lovers! The collection is vast and incredibly well-preserved. From the stunning ivory collection to the world-famous Veiled Rebecca statue, there's something for everyone. The museum staff is helpful and knowledgeable. The entry fee is quite reasonable at just 50 rupees per person, and 50 for photography with phone/camera . Don't miss this incredible treasure trove!

The museum has such a beautiful collection, which unfortunately contrasts with the state of the building it is hosted in. The place is not kept clean and is rundown. On a normal day, the museum is very overcrowded, to the point it is difficult to enjoy the beautiful displays. There is a cafeteria that feels unhygienic and lacks things like a Coke Zero. As for tickets, there is no online booking, quite some queues to get tickets on arrival, and you need to buy separate “phone tickets” if you wish to take pictures. The main attraction is an old English clock. Beautiful museum, but didn’t really enjoy the day there.

Ive been visiting this place on and off since I was a kid. Always mesmerized by the collection held here. Although, this particular time it was a bit disappointing to see the state of the building. Perhaps some care can be shown to modernize the display cases specially on the ground floor to really show how impressive this collection is. The pieces are beyond impressive but presentation let's them down a little bit.

The Salar Jung Museum is one of the largest museums in India, housing an extensive collection of art, antiques, and artifacts from various parts of the world.Visiting Information:- Opening Hours: Daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, except on Fridays and public holidays.- Ticket Prices: ₹50 for Indian citizens, ₹500 for foreign tourists. Photography charges are ₹50.How to Get There:- By Metro: The nearest metro station is MG Bus Station, making it an economical and convenient option.- By Bus: The museum is well-connected by bus services, with multiple nearby bus stops.Nearby Attractions:- Charminar and Chowmahalla Palace are within a short distance, offering further historical and cultural exploration.

It was an awesome day spent at the Salar Jung Museum. We booked tickets online so there was no hassle. However, offline booking on tickets may need much time as we saw a huge line there. There is extra money needed for photo permits, otherwise PHOTOGRAPHY IS NOT ALLOWED. Inside the place is wonderful, a lot of walking and many awesome things to see and learn. It has nice guide maps along the way to make sure you don't get lost. 2 floors and lots of rooms to visit, a good visit will take around 2 to 4 hours, while the tickets will give you a time of 7 hours to see it all. The cafeteria inside is very nice, with fast service, proper cost of things and assured cleanliness. I loved it and will definitely recommend!

This museum has a collection from different regions viz. Indian, Japanese, Chinese among others. The Walking Stick collection is a. very interesting section and below are some of the photos of that, very intricately carved figures of different animals on wood, ivory and other materials. Walking sticks once depicted the status of the holder.The museum has a variety of collections and people of all ages can enjoy it.

Such a wonderful collection of art pieces, including many original creations.Three 2-storey buildings fully filled with items. One's legs would be exhausted by covering even a quarter of the museum. So it's better to cover it as follows :1. If you have only half day in hand, look at the list of categories, and visit only the ones you are interested in.2. If you have multiple days, cover it in 2 or 3 days, to fully enjoy the items by taking time.The ceramic art from Europe , Japan and china were really good.Really wonderful oil paintings, atleast 3 or 4 looked like a photograph.The masterpiece, Veiled Rebecca, must be seen in person to understand the intricate details.There is a musical clock which showcase a small man's sculpture ringing a bell every hour. Usually people gather around this time to watch this.Since museum closes at 5pm, they won't let in people after 4.15pm.There is a washroom outside for 5rs per use, which is a waste since there are multiple free washrooms inside the building.

Beautiful well maintained historic artifacts. I loved the brass room, glass room. Dresses worn in those times. A beautiful very old clock chime was the pinnacle of my visit...about 100 sat in utter silence for the hourly chime and then a thunderous applause of the audience.

We can find different types of antique items.🌟 Must visit place in Hyderabad 🌟I visited this place Solo, ticket fare is available officially in their website.If you visit this place with children they will gain good knowledge of our ancestors.✨All the walls outside each room is filled with our freedom fights✨

Don't visit on the weekend, Buying an entry ticket will not take time, but it will kill more than 1 hour time to go inside the museum. It's a good place to visit with children. More rooms were closed due to maintenance.

There are no works to describe the collection. A real work of art and the collection is exquisite. It will take you 3-4 hours to complete every visit every section.Attraction: An antique mechanical clock adjacent to room No. 7.Tickets can be booked online( book my show) and offline. They accept cash and online payment.Cloak room is available at a nominal price of ₹20.Mobile phone/ camera 📷 ₹50 for Indian citizens.Cafe is available within the premises which offers soft drinks/ puff/ sandwich/ Rice meals.

This museum is exceptional. It was almost like a mine of Indian history. I was awestruck with the amount of data and souvenirs they have in their collection. The museum is so huge that I missed a small part of it after roaming for almost 4 hours straight without taking a break. The place is a dream for any history buff. If you are planning to visit this museum keep a whole day for it.Only low for me was there was no proper air-conditioning that resulted in stuffy rooms that left us sweating like hell.

Excellent place , includes interesting historical manuscripts , and many more exciting arts and paintings.This place requires about 2-3 Hours of time to be observed fully and tickets costsForeigners-500rsIndian nationals-100rs( 50rs photo graphs ticket)Tickets can be bought online at there website and also at the ticket counter.Must see-Veiled RebeccaThe clockIvory sculpturesMughals emperors manuscriptsThanks,

Overall, the Salar Jung Museum is a must-visit for anyone visiting Hyderabad. It's a captivating journey through time and culture, offering something for everyone. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply curious about the world, this museum will leave you with a lasting impression.

If you are fond of the museum and history then this place is a must-visit place when you are in Hyderabad. The entry ticket is 50₹ and you have to pay an additional 50₹ for mobile photography. I would suggest taking additional photography tickets as there are many more antique things which you can click inside.This is one of the best and biggest museums in India I have visited so far after the Indian Museum at Kolkata, the museum is so huge that at least you require half a day to discover it completely and peacefully.The museum has two levels, the ground and the first floor both floors are filled with some super amazing art and pieces.Every gallery is very exotic and you will end up fascinated by every art put on the display.As this museum is huge you may feel hydrated so carry a water bottle along with you, you can refill the water inside as there are many water filters installed inside.The pathway inside the museum is kind of confusing and it is kind of a jigzo puzzle.You will get to see the art forms of many countries like Japan, China, countries from Europe etc.The main centre of attraction is the clock which is installed on the ground floor and you can experience that as well.I mean this museum offers so much to see and experience.

It is a museum obviously as we all know.It has ground floor + 2 storeysIt should take about 2-4 hours to cover the museum , depending on individual.Museum is overall worth a visit.Tickets can be booked at counter as well as on book my show. One ticket each for an individual and one for each mobile must be taken.You must wear comfortable footwear.Washrooms, water and sitting areas are available on each floor.There is canteen too inside.

It is such an amazing place. It has such a great collection of art. If you are an art enthusiastic you will end up spending the whole day here my expectations were very low, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Salar Jung museum is one of the notable national museums in India. Covers the personal family collection of Salar Jung, and has a lot of interesting artefacts like Veiled Rebecca, Raja Ravi Verma paintings, Mephistopheles and Margaretta, Bracket clock etc. It takes at least two hours to cover the museum which includes sections like western block for European art, the eastern block for eastern art and of course, Indian art and crafts. Go around opening time to avoid long queues. We didn't get long queues while buying tickets or entering the museum on a Saturday. But when we came out at eleven o'clock, there was a long queue at the entrance. You can look for online tickets at the museum's own website. Mobile photography is chargeable.

It was an amazing historical learning experience. There are fascinating things for display and very well maintained. Food court, souvenir store is also available inside the museum and a cloak room to keep your bags. Audio guide is an add on benefit but they need to work on the Ui of the app. Overall, a beautiful experience.Definitely worth a visit if you are in Hyderabad.

And Camera's and phones are not allowed inside the temple you should keep in lockers or in your vehicles. Temple clean and well maintained, the view from the temple so beautiful, vehicle parking also available, definitely come and visit once.

I loved overall vibe of this mandir. They take away your phones so that you visit this mandir in peace and hustle free. There is a penny free phone and shoe store where you can keep your phones and shoes. You can buy coconut as god’s offering. The best part is views from the top. Please avoid visiting the temple in afternoon. Tiles are pretty hot

Beautiful Hindu Temple surprisingly built on a small hill in a very spiritual atmosphere. Artistic carving on a marbal stone is great.The idols of different God is amazing.Photography is not allowed inside the campus. You can shoot before entering the temple.

This place is one of the best in Hyderabad, located in the height with a mesmerizing view of the lake, secretariat and city. You can also enjoy the sunset view of the cool Breeze during Jan - March. Hussain Sagar Lake in walking distance. The place was a bit crowded during the weekend but it's worth going.

Excellent place to visit. There are a number of steps to go up. Unfortunately the lift will only take you to a level below the temple. You still need to be either able to go up roughly 40 stairs.The staff are very helpful to make way for the wheelchair.

Birla Mandir in Hyderabad is a must-visit! The temple's architecture is stunning, and the serene atmosphere is perfect for a peaceful visit. The food options around the area are delightful, adding to the overall experience. The weather was pleasant, enhancing our visit even more. Parking is convenient and well-managed. I highly recommend visiting on a weekday to avoid the crowd, especially in the evening when the temple is beautifully lit and the views are breathtaking.

The best place to visit in Hyderabad if you want to visit Lord Sri Venkateswara and his majestic abode atop a hill. It's made of pristine white marble and intricate beauty lies everywhere the eyes go. From gorgeous meadow like hills covered in bougainvilleas and the Idol the outide and inside in black which is supreme, majestic and beautiful to gaze at. The patio behind and outside the temple has wide space where you can sit and meditate. No phones allowed inside the premise. And a panoramic view of Hyderabad is an extra highlight.

The details are quite elaborate and there are many sculptures to appreciate, as well as a lovely view of the Hyderabad city from the top.Mobile phones are not allowed inside, but you can leave it in the cloak room and take a number.Date of experience:July 2023

One of the cleanest temple, very well maintained. Need to submit phone before entering. Gives a majestic view of Hyderabad with Hussein Sagar lake and the great Indian flag.

Beautiful Baaji Temple on a small hill adjacent to Hussain Sagar & behind New Hyderabad Secretariat. Idols in the temple are very Devine. There is a lift available for Senior Citizens to reach temple top instead of walking through stairs. At night we can view the chain of lights of the Necklace Roads around Hussain Sagar Lake. As camera not allowed we couldn't take photos of it from temple top.

Outstanding marble structure, well-maintained. There's a brilliant view from the top. However note that mobiles and cameras are not allowed inside the temple premises, so you will need to store it in the cloak room at the entrance.

Visited the beautiful Mandir in Hyderabad and was thoroughly impressed with the serene atmosphere and meticulous maintenance. Situated in the middle of the city, the Mandir is a peaceful haven that radiates cleanliness and hygiene, creating an aura of Shanti, peace, and Sukoon.The highlight of the visit was the requirement to submit mobile phones and electronic valuables before entering the temple premises. This unique practice allowed me to fully immerse myself in the spiritual experience without any distractions.

Mandir build fully using marble.. we can see a beautiful of new parliament mandir from the top of the temple. It is really beautiful. Place is pleasant and peaceful.

Beautiful Temple and visiting site in Hyderabad constructed in a perfect place around Hussain sagar at hill top. Whole temple is made of white marble with eye pulling architecture. From the top of temple the view of the twin city is just incredible. You can feel the cool breeze of hussain sagar even in the summer. The view of secretariat building and other places around the temple and hussain sagar is clearly visible. No camera is allowd inside. Its heart breaking as you can not capture your lovable moments and the beauty of the scenario. First you have to park your car/bike at the free parking site at hill top. Then leave your shoes down and start climbing up the stairs for temple. The offerings are not allowed inside the temple. The security will keep theirselve the offering you carried in polybags and will return to you while returing from visit after you show your empty polybag. It was a type strange.. The temple management should find a better option for this procedure. There are good shops running just below the temple but the price is too high. It should be looked after for sure. There are sign boards at every road showing way to Birla temple but there is no board available at the main road.

Beautiful marvelous. Such an intricate architecture. Beautiful designed. Many devotees sing the Govinda jaap. A magnificent place for mind peace and meditation. Phones are not allowed inside the temple since photography inside the temple is not allowed. You have veg canteens outside the temple. This temple is located on a hill. A crowded place I would say.

Situated on the hills in Old Hyderabad city, this piece of craft is a place to visit. Moreover you get to see the city landscape from the height. The view is mesmerizing

Beautiful temple. Also a great tourist spot. But camera and mobiles are strictly prohibited. It needs to be submitted in the cloak room. But it's safe there. The view of the temple in the evening looks phenomenal as it is close to the most popular tourist spots of Hyderabad like tank bund, necklace road and secratriant. I wish cameras were allowed to capture the beauty of the temple.

One of the finest architectures in Hyderabad, must visit temple,take the blessings of Lord Venkateshwara swamy, the feeling is so relaxed.Located in the middle of the city and also the view of Hyderabad city from the temple is beautiful.I already visited multiple times and still feel like visiting again and again.

Birla Mandir is a calm place where you can go for free. While Mobile phones are not permitted inside, the temple provides a clock room, where we can keep our mobiles at no cost. The best part is the amazing view from the top, which makes you feel peaceful. It's a great spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of the city without any distractions.

Beautiful marble temple well maintained and daily poojas done for Lord Venkateshwara.Photography not allowed.No place to sitNo shelter either in stair case or pathway or anywhere else.Compulsorily some sitting arrangement must be done for senior citizens , ladies with small kids.

Unfortunately, you can't make the pictures inside, and they ask you to leave your shoes and cameras/phones near the entrance. Overall the place is beautiful, with white stone and carvings. On the upper level, there is an observation place with a scenery of Hyderabad

Very good vibes are coming from the temple. No mobile phone and laptop are allowed inside the temple. The scenery from the top of the temple is very good. Hussain Sagar is near the temple. You can visit also there.

Such a beautiful Temple. I was mesmerized by the beauty of the mandir. Also it’s located on a hilltop so you can see the entire Hyderabad. So beautiful. Phones are not allowed inside the temple.

Visited the Birla Temple in Hyderabad on 20th August in the evening, and it was an unforgettable experience! The rain was pouring down, but that didn't dampen the beauty of this stunning temple.As we climbed up to the top, the view of the entire Hyderabad city took our breath away! The rain-soaked streets & the twinkling lights - it was a sight to behold.The temple itself is an architectural marvel, with intricate carvings and serene surroundings. But the real magic happens when you reach the top and witness the panoramic view.The rain added a mystical touch to the experience, making it even more memorable. We felt like we were on top of the world, with the city spread out before us like a canvas.The Birla Temple is a must-visit attraction in Hyderabad, and the evening view is simply spectacular.

A very good and well maintained temple completely made of white stone marble.Temple is located on top of the hill having some very great views of the cityNo photography is allowed inside temple and there is no place to sit in temple.

Such a beautiful and pleasant location... Everyone must visit... It's a Lord Venkateswara temple along with some hindu gods you can find here... All made of marble limestone.. avoid visiting on Saturday because it has rush

One of the famous temples. The god idol is same but lot of changes at the entrance. Dont plan to visit in summer. Once you see the god, you feel blessed. Need to climb close to 75 to 100 steps

The temple is on a hill and doesn't allow taking photos inside. It has lots of stairs, which might be tough for older folks. But it's totally worth it because Lord Balaji is there. Plus, you get an awesome view of the city from the top, which is really cool. Overall, it's a great experience!

Birla mandir is another marvelous temple in hyderabad....Car parking is a bit challenging..But overall, a nice experience....Beautiful view of Hussain sagar lake from the Temple just make you feel better and calim..One must visit this temple to have get some peace and outside of city noise...

I visited Birla Mandir on Saturday. Temple is good. Mobiles are not allowed inside so you have to keep it outside only. Atmosphere is good there and you can see nearby areas from Mandir because it is built on top.

It is a beautiful and serene temple dedicated to Lord Venkateswara (a form of Vishnu). Built with pure white marble, it stands atop the Naubath Pahad hill, offering a panoramic view of the city, including the Hussain Sagar Lake. The architecture is a blend of Dravidian, Rajasthani, and Utkala styles, making it a visual treat. The calm atmosphere, especially during early mornings or evenings, provides a peaceful escape from the city’s bustle. Photography inside the temple is restricted, preserving its sanctity, and it's a must-visit for its spiritual and scenic charm.

If you ever want to relax and have a good time, this is the right place, but the bad smell from the water ruins the peace..... no space for car parking during weekends....

Visitors can enjoy leisurely boat rides on the lake, providing a unique perspective of the Buddha statue and the city skyline. The serene environment of the lake offers a pleasant escape from the bustling city, making it an ideal place for relaxation and enjoying the cool breeze.Hussain Sagar also serves as a venue for various water sports and recreational activities, attracting adventure enthusiasts and families alike. Several parks and gardens around the lake offer additional opportunities for picnics and outdoor gatherings.

Good to see at night with lights. The surroundings like Lumbini garden and secretariat with lights looks nice from the middle of the lake.Lake water smells though.

A perfect view and a place for your morning and evening walks 💕 a beautiful lake view point which provides a mesmerizing view of sunrise and sunset.You can also have the taste of Hyderabadi local food in the evening. 🙌🏻

The Hussain sagar lake is inbetween the cities of Hyderabad with Secunderabad. It contains the popular Gautam Buddha statue in the middle and is one of Hyderabad's most popular tourist attractions. This statue is said to be one of the world's largest statues. Hussain Sagar offers a spectacular view of Lake, a view of the city, which draws many visitors to the area. It's most impressive at night when the statue's lights are turned on.Tankbund road on hussain sagar lake is good for morning walkers, senior citizens to spend time in the morning hours. In the evening families visit the tank bund with their kids and spend time in the lawns of the tank bund , have snacks and enjoy the view of Hussain Sagar lake.Tank Bund has been a major tourist destination as well as a popular local attraction after recent beautification by the Government. This is a popular spot for people who want to unwind.

TankBund is a place where you can enjoy the view if only you visit early in the morning. With years there has been a decent improvement in cleanliness to seating arrangement. The water is serene but not completely clean. Hyderabad needs a lot of improvement in regard to cleanliness and throwing of waste. People throw here and there even after seeing the trash buckets. There should be a law passed for this specifically - maybe there can be a change in regard to cleanliness. Otherwise you can enjoy the fresh air and have a calm family time.

I went in morning, and boating was not started. I enjoyed the moment of pride which I felt after seeing our Indian flag. Wonderful.

Nice place for selfies and group photos. You can enjoy rides if u reach by 7 pm. You may spend three to four hours at Lumbini park, water rides, necklace road and birla temple & museum.

Hussain Sagar was built across a tributary of the Musi river in 1563 by Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah. The lake was named after Hussain Shah Wali, who was the Master of Architecture in the Kingdom. It is an artificial lake that holds water perennially fed by canals from Musi river. Hussain Sagar was the main source of water supply to Hyderabad before Himayat Sagar and Osman Sagar were built on river Musi.The Buddha statue was chiseled out of a white granite rock, weighing 450 tons. It was carved by 200 sculptors for two years. The statue was transported to Hyderabad in November 1988. After initial problems, the statue was erected on 12 April 1992 on a red lotus pedestal.

This place is a treasure trove of fun and exciting activities! You'll need at least a day or two to explore the lake and its surroundings. To make the most of your visit, I recommend creating an itinerary beforehand. Some must-visit attractions to include in your list are:- Necklace Road: A scenic stretch with stunning views- Boating in the lake: A relaxing experience on the water- The Statue: A iconic landmark worth visiting- Lumbini Park: A peaceful oasis in the heart of the city- Deepam: A fascinating spot with something for everyone- Secrateriate: A historic building with architectural significance- Snow World: A fun destination for some snowy adventure- Bansilalpeth Stepwell: worthwhile structure to explore- Salar Jung Museum: A world-renowned museum showcasing art and historyDon't worry about the sequence, just make sure to include these attractions in your list. With so much to see and do, this place is a perfect destination for a day filled with fun and excitement. So, plan ahead, and get ready to create some unforgettable memories!

Peaceful Place ☮️🌸 Have you ever watched the sunset behind the Buddha Statue? Nope? Oh god, you're missing out. Find yourself during the sunset hour at Tank Bund and take long walks as you watch the sun wash the sky in orange. Not a walking person? No problem, just stand and stare!

Best to visit at evening time. It's just d smell of water that irritates. Otherwise really good to visit. Enjoy the boat ride, get instant pictures and make a memory.

Hussain sagar lake is situated in the heart of the city Hyderabad. The statue of the Buddha is very beautiful. You should go by boat to see the the statue from close. In the Night time you can see the lighting on the statue which looks very beautiful

This place is eye-watching with night lights. Visited for independence day and the secretariat is all lit up with Tricolour lights.

Exploring Hussain Sagar Lake is incomplete without indulging in a boat ride. Several options, including motorboats and pedal boats, are available for visitors to explore the lake's tranquil waters. A boat ride offers a unique perspective of the surrounding landscapes and allows you to soak in the serene ambiance of the lake. Adjacent to Hussain Sagar Lake, Lumbini Park and Necklace Road provide additional recreational opportunities for visitors.

"Had a wonderful evening at Hussain Sagar Lake! Took a boat ride to the Buddha Statue and enjoyed the serene surroundings. The sunset views were simply stunning, and the cool breeze made it a perfect spot to relax. We also walked around the lake and enjoyed the street food and local vendors. The atmosphere was lively and festive, with families and friends enjoying quality time together. A must-visit spot in Hyderabad for a peaceful and rejuvenating experience! #HussainSagar #Hyderabad #LakeLife #ziauddin17

Waterbodies have since time inmemorial been a center of mass gathering, of a plethora of social activities. This place is no exception. The entire lake is surrounded by fun activities and refreshments. It a boiling pot of Indian culture, with people of diverse origins sharing a place. The tourist destinations include a bunch of very well maintained parks and gardens, religious sites and amusement parks. Keeping in mind the necessity of maintaining a well-rounded decorum for the young people, there is the sanjeevaiah children's park only allowing children inside. The flowers all around the lake are impressively maintained by the authority. The ghats are mostly dirty though, but anyways you can have a good time taking walks and enjoying the sunset.

One of the best tourist attractions in Hyderabad.. You can enjoy this in the evening. Lots of things to explore- Boating, Lumbini Park, Fountain show and walk.

Earlier it was not good due to the smell of the surroundings, but the GHMC have did a splendid job in maintaining the Main tourism of Hyderabad, one has to enter Lumbini park and purchase boating ticket and reach the place. 360 deg u have water and great city view.Hussain Sagar is the heart of Hyderabad, a sprawling man-made lake that offers a serene escape from the bustling city. Its iconic Buddha statue stands tall, a symbol of peace and harmony. While the lake's beauty is undeniable, it's marred by pollution and neglect. Boating offers a refreshing perspective, but the surrounding areas could be cleaner.

Hussain Sagar is a large artificial lake situated in the heart of Hyderabad, India. Built during the reign of Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah in 1563, it is one of the largest man-made lakes in Asia. The lake is known for its iconic Buddha statue located on an island called Gibraltar Rock. Boating, leisurely walks along the promenade, and the picturesque Necklace Road that surrounds the lake make Hussain Sagar a popular recreational spot in Hyderabad.

500 year old lake at the heart of Hyderabad. It has launch and speedboat rides. The are a number of lake front cafe, bar and restaurants around the lake.

People plaza light and sound music show with fountain is great relaxation to mind and body

A beautiful place to visit at night and boating is a must do stuff. The view is so nice. But don't expect that you can sit nearby the lake and enjoy it while putting your legs in it. Boundaries are all over the lake and also the water is kinda black, not clean enough but it doesn't stink at all. A must visit place

Experience the tranquility of Hussain Sagar Lake, nestled in the heart of Hyderabad. Whether you're admiring the serene waters, taking a boat ride to the Buddha statue, or simply enjoying the sunset views, this spot offers a peaceful escape from the city's hustle and bustle. Perfect for a relaxing evening with loved ones or a quiet moment of reflection amidst nature's beauty.

Very good place, famous place in hyderabad everyone goes there, You can sit and walk 👍🏻👍🏻

Nice Lake to visit once in Hyderabad. The surroundings of this place are so beautiful. Requesting people , the visitors and tourists to keep this place clean and hygienic always. A drive to this lake is very soothing during late nights. During the day and night time both everything looks beautiful including the surroundings.

Worth a visit if you are on a trip to Hyderabad - it is around 1 1/2 hours drive from City Centre. Gives an idea as to how films are made and sets are constructed. Need to either reach by around 9 am or stay there in one of the hotels inside the previous evening as you need a full day to see everything. Even a full day is a bit rushed. Best to pick up tickets ('Studio Tour' is good enough) online, go to the centre point (Eureka), attend the opening ceremony at 9.45 am, proceed to Studio Tour/Eco Tour (must do), have lunch, then go for the shows. Don't miss the Wild West Stunt Show! Lights, Camera, Action is interesting too. Rest of the shows are average, especially for someone who has been to other studios/sets elsewhere. Food within RFC is average or even below average. RFC can make the experience better by putting up their detailed e-brochure, program and map on their website. Their email IDs and contact numbers on the website are unresponsive and this is an issue they should address. They should also plant more trees! Overall, it is a nice experience while on a Hyderabad trip but considering the resources, the management can do so much more to make it a 'must see before I die' experience.

Very nice and well maintained. The support staff is very helpful. Over all good experience. Food is little big costly. The free activities when we reached most on it has not started. Was not worth going there. Garden and bonsai collection is very good. Opening and closing ceremony is very good.

Beautiful, gigantic but extremely overpriced and overhyped.Pros:A real city, you can get lostVery beautiful and great for movie and nature loversLots of greens and nice movie sets which can make you wonderCons:Extremely overpricedKids can hardly enjoyToddlers will have to pay for the ticket although there is nothing for themSome of the rides that kids and toddlers can enjoy will cost you extra, not included in the ticketBus tour route is circular, meaning A - > B - > C - > D - > A, so you can't visit, say point A from from point C.You will get bored after a point as seeing only movie sets for the whole day is actually not that interesting as it soundsP.S.:Those who have seen Universal Studios and think this one also as the same, please note, that both are very different.

Despite being THE biggest and the largest film city in the world, it is maintained very well. The tour buses inside the film city are not only well maintained, neat and clean but also have very well trained, jovial and friendly guides.

Biggest film city in the world. Very well maintained. One should visit between 9-10am so that you can cover all the spots with enough time at all the spots and have fun. I really liked the Bird park and live stunt show.

Full day of excitement and fun. Best place to enjoy with family and kids. Baahubali set was the main attraction. Best time to visit this place is during winter as you need to walk a lot and hence in summer it will be very tiring. Lot of restaurants and snacking bar available at almost all locations.Movie magic is another attraction where you enjoy movie making experience. Overall a great time well spent

Awesome place to hangout with friends or family. I visited in carnival season. Amazing sets. So beautiful. Full day trip with all sets and adventure park . Zip line, Arrow shooting, rain dancing, and many more games. You can book online and definitely skip the hectic queue.they are having their own shiny red buses inside to travel from one set to other. Food and water available inside. Very clean washrooms .kids have their own playing area with some rides and a great entertainment show with jinn , wonderful staff will show beautiful play to your child and will make them laugh. Last, you can enjoy many rides in their amusement area and enjoy snacks over there.

Fantastic experience. Car parking is near to ticket counter. Smooth entry and no waiting for bus. It takes about 15 minutes to actual Film City from ticket counter. Thereafter everything is arranged and organised so well that it becomes a day to remember. The volunteers are polite and helpful guiding the tourists all day long. Besides many film sets, there are plenty of parks and they are maintained impeccably. The cleanliness all around is outstanding and kudos to all who maintain it. The shows are all good and try not to miss them. Small food kiosks are available at every site and reasonably priced. Washrooms are very very clean. Moreover, drinking water is available at every place and one need not carry water bottles. The free rides offered in park are awesome. Moving around in customized red buses is special. Overall, an enjoyable day. Thanks to management.

Best and must visit attraction in Hyderabad.offers enjoyment for people of all ages.You will have lot of shows to watch.Upon entering the film city, get the details of the shows for the day and plan accordingly.It is advisable to carry a hat or umbrella with you..You will have drinking water facilities all around the place.

One of the best places to visitReally wonderful placeIts extends over 1666 acres and having Guinness world record for largest film studio complex.Better to stay and spend 2 days there to see all studiosBest place to visit

An excellent place to explore and have fun with family and friends. The Star experience is a must as it provides AC BUSES, complementary chocolates and buffet lunch. Definitely worth the price.We thoroughly enjoyed the film city, taking photos at all the scenic places and the guides were quite helpful. The stunt show, bird park, butterfly park, joyrides were great additions. The bahubali set is a major attraction and its grandeur will mesmerize you. The acrobatic dance performance was decent and can be skipped.Don't miss out on the doll ride. That was the best!The movie making experience was very unique and interactive. Overall, a perfect outing if in hyderabad. Wear sunglasses, a cap and keep yourself hydrated throughout the walks.

Top class! I was surprised that we have places like this in India.Very well organized right from the time you enter the parking. All the shows were superb.If you don't want to miss anything, reach there early - it takes one full day.Towards the end there is butterfly park and collection of beautiful birds - they even have Ostriches.Cafeterias are clean and food is okay.When you reach, don't forget to take the bus tour first, that way you will know how much you are actually going to see and you can plan your time spent at each attraction properly.A must visit place. The ticket rates are extremely reasonable. In fact, towards the end, I heard so many people say the tickets are priced so low considering what they have on offer.Totally worth it!!!

A full on entertainment. Must place to visit for all age groups. The longer you stay the better it is. Tough to cover in one day. There are movie sets, parks, gardens, actions, dance sequences, horror house, food joints and full of adventure. Area wise it’s very big but there are buses from the pick up point which takes you inside.

It’s a beautiful experience. One should walk a lot. There will be many buses to hop on and hop off from one destination to another. It’s really a must watch city where almost every film sets have been set up and different parks have also been set up. It’s a very different experience people can experience. There are few hotels also where booking can be done for stay and see Ramoji film city. There are huge options to explore food items as well

Ramoji Film City is a beautiful place for both tourists and first time visitors. You will witness many new things which you didn't even knew existed. Children will like the place more because activities like Fundustan and Space Yatra makes it more interesting. It's a one day program which is worth going... The view at the zoo and when you travel by road is spectacular...

Ramoji film City is located about an hour from Hyderabad. Better to book a car for the full day and go, easily takes four to five hours to cover the park. Tickets are thousand three fifty per person, excluding food. You are taken by a bus to the theme park, and from there you take consecutive six buses to explore the various parts like the studios, bahubali set, a mythology set, a foreign location set, a bird park etc. The sixth bus drops you to the starting point where you can go for refreshments etc. The good thing is restrooms, snack shops and free drinking water are available all over the park. But it does get tiring especially if it is a hot day, because there is a lot of walking involved.

Ramoji film City was fun and you definitely don't want to miss it if you are in Hyderabad. Kids will love it. There is a lot to walk so keep that in mind. Bringing your elders won't be a really good idea unless they are very much interested in cinema

Must visit while in Hyderabad.Located around 60 kms from main Hyderabad city.Spread over 1600 acres.They have buses from the parking area to the film city and back.Multiple buses are in service.Full day tickets, morning or evening session tickets are available.Very well organized and staff are always helpful and advice where to go after every show.The usual waiting time is 15 to 20 minutes for the shows.Multiple food stalls are available everywhere in the film city.Food is costlier compared to hotels but still cheaper than malls.Buses are available from point to point and are always available.Need at least a full day to cover all the places.The important thing is people will start getting tired by 4 pm since we need to walk a bit within the studios even though buses are there.

One of the most entertaining places in Hyderabad for both adults and kids. There are different movie sets along with railway station, airport, shopping areas, some of the Indian and world famous monuments, many gardens, birds park with variety of interesting birds, butterfly and bonsai gardens, many different plants and flower gardens, restaurants, kids related entertainment and shows like Spirit of Ramoji, Action Show, Movie Making, Space Yatra, Rain Dance etc. It took us almost 9 hours to see most of the places. The Star Experience package was great.

Visiting Ramoji Film City was an unforgettable experience and undoubtedly one of the highlights of my trip to Hyderabad. As the largest film studio complex in the world, it offers a unique and thrilling glimpse into the world of cinema and entertainment.The guided tour is exceptionally well-organized, taking visitors through various film sets, gardens, and amusement areas. Each set is meticulously designed, and it’s fascinating to see how movies are made. From elaborate palace sets to charming village scenes, the diversity and creativity on display are truly impressive.Ramoji Film City is not just for movie buffs; it has something for everyone. The numerous attractions, including live shows, stunt performances, and theme park rides, make it an ideal destination for families and tourists of all ages. The interactive activities and workshops add an extra layer of engagement, making the visit both educational and fun.One of the things that stood out to me was the vibrant atmosphere. Despite being a popular tourist spot and often crowded, the staff does an excellent job of managing the flow of visitors, ensuring everyone has a pleasant experience. The sprawling layout of the complex allows ample space to explore without feeling overwhelmed by the crowd.The local food stalls and restaurants within Ramoji Film City offer a variety of delicious options, catering to different tastes and preferences. The surrounding markets are also lively, offering souvenirs and memorabilia that capture the essence of Indian cinema.As a precaution, I recommend wearing a mask, especially in crowded areas, to ensure a safe and comfortable visit. It’s a simple step that adds to the overall experience without any inconvenience.In conclusion, Ramoji Film City is a must-visit destination in Hyderabad. Whether you're passionate about movies or just looking for an exciting and diverse day out, this place has something special to offer. The blend of entertainment, education, and sheer visual spectacle makes it a standout attraction that you shouldn’t miss.

This is a film City where shooting of movies and serial episodes scenes are being done. Another way this is also a tourist destination. The administration makes us engage in different activities and visits the whole day. You may buy light food inside. We get some idea of how movies are to be made. The only drawback is it's entry is costly. I paid around Rs. 1600.00 for a person.

If you are going to Hyderabad and not visiting "Ramoji Film City" then you should think 2Wice.So being an Indian we all have lots of influence of Indian Cinema Directly or indirectly on our life's through music, comedy, films, stories or any other way. So Ramjoji gives us the insight what goings on the other sides of the screen and how they shows us larger then life characters, scenes, actions.Its worth the price for sure. You need a whole day to explore and you should start early with the opening ceremony and you should stay till closing ceremony. Staff puts lots of efforts for sure to make sure we are having fun in a cinematic style.Few things which they lack or its not worth is the food they sell inside. Had very bad experience with this. Being so pricy they don't deliver the kind so service you expect and even the food quality is not that great. Specially buffets are not watched for the hygiene or the cleanliness. So my 4 star are for the food outlets they have inside.Other than food it was an wonderful experience for sure.Thank You. 🙏🏽

Great exhibition of various sets and film activities with some entertainment area and few shows … reach before 9am here if you want to enjoy this place. A full day activity. Prefer to use prime ticket if possible which is at ~3000/- with food.AC bus service is also with premium only.Take us to various places like gardens, sets and bungalow schemes. Then to sets of Bahubali, Bhagwatmandapam …Worth going to this place.

This place is a must visit if you are in Hyderabad. One day is not enough. But still t try to reach there at 9AM, so that you can enjoy maximum. Try to book tickets online to save more time.

Ramoji Film City is amazing! ✨✨The sets are huge and impressive, with everything from replicas of famous landmarks to fun theme parks. The tours are well-organized, and it's fascinating to see behind the scenes of film production. The place is clean, and the hospitality is great. It’s definitely a must-visit for anyone interested in movies or just looking for a fun day out with family. 🤩🤩

It's a must visit for everyone to see the world's largest film studio. Management is doing a good job, they keep providing the helpful information to see and help all the way from beginning to end. Drinking water and toilet facilities available at every place whereever you are going to need. It's once in a lifetime experience. There are lots of things to see and experience in one day , difficult to see cover everything in one day, still you can manage to see all if you will hurry. Food is expensive inside though , they should keep it reasonable, lots of people are coming here everyday .

If you're in Hyderabad, this place is a must-visit. The staff is outstanding and very supportive, expertly managing crowds. The ambience and vibes are phenomenal.

Covering 1600+ acres of land the film city offers an amazing experience and glimpse into the world of film making with its elaborate sets and exhibits. You will require an entire day to cover all of its attractions. The ticket cost ₹1593 after tax however there are certain adventure activities and attractions within that come at extra cost like adventure sports, joy rides etc. The entire travel within the city is via the ramoji bus which is available at every stop at regular intervals. There is an opening and closing ceremony which you should not miss. The various film sets are interesting to look around and the guide tells you many facts regarding the films shot there. There are phone charging points, coolers, rest rooms and food stalls across the city. Many dance performances, action sequences, demos and shows are held at regular intervals make sure to watch them all. There is a map available at the start point carry it with you such that you are aware of everything. Apart from the film sets, the zoo with a variety of birds and the butterfly park is a must see. Multiple gardens and a bonsai garden are also present for you to enjoy. Overall it is a great experience and worth spending an entire day here.

It was a dream to visit Ramuji Flim City. Before came to to india I had heard about this place so many times. And finally I am here. It cost me around 2000rs from Hyderabad city. They gave us a share bus to city to Ramuji city, it’s a round trip. From morning 9 to 5 pm they have full pack of entertainment. You will never get bored. Inside the film city they have 6 bus stop. In every 30m bus are moving one place to another. Of course every spot has separate restaurants and washrooms. Which is really helpful. Over 4000 + movies has been work here . And still running. It was cinematic experience in ramuji, like a class about movie. They will show you almost everything about film. If you love film then definitely you will love this place. Hope I will travel again Ramuji.

I'd need to write a lengthy essay to fully describe everything. All I can say is that it's fantastic, incredible, and totally worth the 1593 rupees. You'll visit each spot one by one, starting with the opening ceremony, studio tour, European cities, Japanese garden, eco-tour, butterfly garden, and much more. Check out my photos for a better idea.

This is a heaven for you if you love films, movies & live in the world of ‘lights, camera, action’. A must visit place atleast once. Make sure you have an entire day to spare to enjoy the place completely. Situated in the outskirts of the Hyderabad city, away from the city hustle bustle, the film city premises is a different world in itself. You can drive down with your own vehicle or take a uber/ola; though the latter is going to be a costly option. There are also film city buses plying from different locations in the city which run in the morning & reach the film city at 9am & leave from there after it closes post 6:45pm. This is an economical & good option, the busses charges are around 350-400 bucks for both sides. The basic package of film city costs around Rs. 1600, you can book it online from their official website along with booking pick drop service if you want to avail that. The guides in the bus will guide you through the place and also brief you about sets, shooting locations and which movies and adds were shot where. Some of the major locations include the Bahubali set, the European city, the Eco parks, the Adventure activities, Stunt show, Opening & Closing ceremony performances, Gardens etc. Make sure you reach the venues on time as certain shows and performances are time specific. Do not spend a lot of time at a venue if you want to see most of the film city in a day. Enjoy to the fullest & click lots of pictures. Try going during a non rainy pleasant weather to enjoy the fullest and most of the tour is outdoors.

People with an interest in the film industry should visit this place for sightseeing. The 1500+ acre property is well maintained. In the film city, there are enough buses with convenient stops. Kids will enjoy this place and one day is definitely not enough. When any shooting takes place at a particular set, you won't be able to see that place, just as I couldn't see the railway station. Entry fee feels little costly.

One of the biggest film cities, you can't finish exploring this within a day , it is that beautiful and clean. I really appreciate them for keeping this so organised and clean throughout the city.You will get buses or autos or cabs from lb nagar if u r coming from Hyderabad City. Once u get the tickets , they will provide u the bus to take you to the city centre . They will guide you and then you will have open buses to go to every place within the city. You can see the film sets like Mahabharata set, bahubali set, European city set etc. There are restaurants in almost all parts and washrooms as well. You can play some Complimentary games as well or for additional cost you can do bungee jumping etc. You can take beautiful pictures in every corner of this city. In the evening you can watch some live shows which keep happening in certain places, ask the guides for all the details, they tell you everything neatly.Now coming to negatives, entry fees is costly what i feel. It costed around 1600 rupees for me. Once inside all the restaurants are also costly. So minimum of 2k is needed to explore this beautiful film City which you should visit atleast once in your Life.

Worth for a Day tour. Better to reach by 8:30-9 am in the morning so that few of the attractions are not missed.Food options are limited as quite a few restaurants are closed. Avoid visiting this place during peak summer.Plenty of parking available. Clean washrooms are also made available in many places inside the film city. Do visit the Bahubali set which is one of the main attractions.

Visited in 2019, good place to visit and the only film city which will give you the insight of how movies are created and effort to put it on the screen. This place will show the behind the scenes of glamorous movies on screen. Only one recommendation, need to improve the transport and ticket facilities.Will visit again

Good amusement park! Easy to locate and Ample parking space. Lots of activities for both families and friends. Both dry and water rides available. The park is clean and well-maintained. Food is average, and could use more variety. A fantastic spot for locals to enjoy a fun day out!

There is no maintenance at all. Only for children can enjoy something. Wash rooms maintenance was horrible. Even pool maintenance also.

Great for Birthday Parties and Marriage functions, Food is nice, Sufficient parking place, Kids will enjoy the amenities, but it is not suggestable for night parties.. area is completely isolated!!

Nestled amid nature, this water park is an exhilarating aquatic haven. It features heart-pounding slides, and a vibrant wave pool, offering a diverse range of experiences. The friendly staff ensures safety and adds to the overall enjoyment. With tempting dining options, it caters to every palate. Whether you seek adventure or relaxation, this water park promises unforgettable family memories in a picturesque setting.

Don't Expect More just Go Enjoy ...... The food was a disaster......we can carry our own clothes to play in water

I own a plot in this scheme. The whole place is closed and dumped for the last atleast 10yrs. Anybody writing reviews about how good the place is, is all rubish. Someone even mentioned he had excellent food at this place. And that too 6 months back. What a joke. The place i am talking about is Mount Opera located on the road to Ramoji film city and Ramoji

Decent playful place for family & kids to enjoy their whole day loved it🥰Need to maintain the bathrooms,food ,and the play areas

I couldn't believe how much we got for the price. Whether you're planning a fun outing for friends and family or you're looking for a place where your kids can spend an exciting afternoon, Mount Opera will be perfect for you.I had all but given up on finding a great amusement park in Hyderabad, so I was surprised by how much I enjoyed myself here. The water park and the rides were all great fun. I have to commend them for the amount of thought and effort that went into making sure the visitor's experience is the best it could be. You could spend hours here and not want to go home.The food was healthy. Even the banquet hall was really nice, it's great for any kind of function. If you invite people here for a gathering, there is no chance of your guests being bored.All in all, I had a fantastic experience and I look forward to going back to Mount Opera again.

Excellent place to chill out with family. Have seen the owners dine with kids to ensure quality of food offered. Kids will have a wonderful time especially with clean wave pool and other water games. There is no other place that offers so many water games,rides and play area at this budget. Elders will have a pleasant experience away from the city .The pool boys are always present in the water to ensure safety of the kids

They have renovated the whole space!!!with new owners, the water park is amazing and they also have new mechanical rides.I’m obsessed with their Wave Pool!Was such a nice weekend activity, enjoyed the bonding experience with my family 🤍

Very very good for enjoying with family & kids.Prices also reasonable.For adults -575/-For kids-475/-Inside park all mechanical rides are free of cost,Only we have to pay for Dashing Cars Go car racing and pedal boating.Wave pool , slide pools are too good and maintenance also good.Food is also available at reasonable price.

I have gone to Mount Opera multiple times since 2014. The maintenance was not great in the middle but now they have added a lot of new things near the wave pool and the mechanical rides are also back to new with additions like bumper cars.

Great for kids. There is water slide. Music for the children and yes food too. The food isn't good. And the bathrooms are very untidy and messy. That needs proper care. Carry your belongings like an extra swim suit..goggles cap etc..plastic cover.. especially if going in summer as a small trip..

Wave pool was good and rides are also fun, but changing room were too untidy, full of smell and no doors, very worst maintenace. Other than changing rooms all is good and we can enjoy with kids.And we have to book cabs up and down, it is too hard to get cabs booked after 6 pm.Ticket price is Rs. 500/- for adults including all rides, Rs. 400 for kids and Rs. 200/- for senior citizens. We havr to take seperate tickets for Go Karting and Boating.

Hi everyone 👋👋 super place for everyone. Lunch was super . Main I am thank full to mount opera house keeping staff because my bus 🗝️🗝️ has lost.In evening when I am searching key that time they given me.Thank u

Good place to visit, due to construction work autos will not go near temple.You need to walk 200 meters in stones.Own vehicle is not allowed on the hill top.2km you have to go by auto.

If you are visiting on the weekend, i suggest you purchase special darshan tickets for Rs. 150/-per head.The work is still going on inside the temple.Outside the temple, it's fantastic.

Surrounding areas with loads of blooming flowers, clean roads, peaceful areas surrounding, bridges and Highways make this place good for long drives. For someone who wants to breathe fresh air, peaceful ambiance and beautiful lakes this place makes it to visit.. If you want you can do your visit to temple for darshan so many temples & Masjid near by areas.

Yadadri Temple is a sanctuary of peace and spirituality. The beautifully designed temple structure is a visual delight, and the serene environment provides a perfect setting for prayer and reflection. The temple complex is well-maintained, and the staff ensure that visitors have a pleasant experience. The view from the temple, overlooking the lush landscape, is simply breathtaking. It is a place where one can truly connect with the divine and find inner peace. An exceptional spiritual retreat near Hyderabad.

In Tretayugam, there lived a sage by the name of Yadarishi, son of the great sage Rishyasrunga and Santa Devi. Yadarishi performed penance inside a cave on a hill blessed by Anjaneya (Hanuman), nestled between Bhongir (Bhuvanagiri) and Raigiri, now part of the Nalgonda district in Telangana, India. His deep devotion pleased Lord Narasimha, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who appeared before him in five different forms: Sri JwalaNarasimha, Sri Yogananda, Sri Gandabherunda, Sri Ugra, and Sri Lakshminarasimha. These forms are presently worshipped within the temple and have been immortalized as finely sculpted deities known as Pancha Narasimha Kshetram.The deities reside in a cave measuring about 3.7 meters (12 ft) high by 9.1 meters (30 ft) long, located at the back of the temple hall, accessible by a stairway. Jwala Narasimha appears as a serpent, while Yogananda Narasimha is depicted in a meditative yoga pose. The main shrine houses the silver icon of Lakshmi-Narasimha. To the right of the temple's main door is a Hanuman temple, with a notable horizontal gap in the rock below it, believed to be where Gandaberunda Narasimha manifested. It is said that any sincere devotee's wish will be fulfilled upon visiting this temple.The sanctum sanctorum or garbhagriha is situated in a cave, beneath a huge slating rock covering half the temple. A new temple was constructed at the original site, with a temporary temple, Balalayam, serving until the renovation was complete. The temple, rebuilt in Krishna Sila (black stone), was inaugurated on 28 March 2022 by the Chief Minister of Telangana, K. Chandrasekhar Rao. The complex includes the main temple, Mukha Mandapam, seven gopurams (domes) with wooden roofs, vratha peetham, Swamy Vari Udyana Vanam, kalyana mandapam, satram, and the pillars of the 12 Alvars, the poet-saints of Sri Vaishnavism.The temple's entrance arch depicts Mahābhūta (the five elements), and there is a Vishnu Gundam, where it is believed that bathing washes away all negativity. The temple's design and construction, led by principal film set designer Anand Sai and lead architect P. Madhusudhan, adhere to ancient silpa and Agama principles. Three types of stones were used: Krishna Sila for the presiding deities, Sthri Sila for goddesses, and Napunsaka Sila for flooring and walls. The black granite stone, based on Kakatiya dynasty architecture, strengthens over time with the absorption of liquids like milk and oil, according to learned shilipis (sculpture experts).Yadagirigutta is well connected by both rail and road, located about 55 km from Uppal, a major suburb of Hyderabad, and 65 km from Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station in Hyderabad. A new bus stand, part of the temple development, spans 6.1 hectares (15 acres). The nearest railway stations are Raigiri, about 5 km away, and Bhuvanagiri, about 13 km away. The Raigir railway station has been renamed Yadadri (YADD) by South Central Railway. The Hyderabad MMTS - Phase II is planned to extend to Raigir station, with a proposed metro train between Uppal and Yadagirigutta.My visit to this temple was a deeply spiritual experience. Starting from Suchitra, Kompally, it took 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach the temple via ORR, avoiding traffic jams. The road was smooth and mostly vehicle-free. Upon arrival, ample parking was available near the temple, from where I walked to the top. The temple's location offers a serene and windy atmosphere, untouched by commercialism, allowing for a peaceful Darshan.There are three queues for Darshan: free, Rs. 150, and Rs. 300. Mobile phones are not allowed inside the temple, but photography is permitted outside. The temple's interior, illuminated beautifully, is an architectural marvel. The cave's naturally cool temperature, maintained at 10 to 15 degrees and air-conditioned, adds to the experience. The administration could improve the maintenance and aesthetics of the outside premises with fencing and landscaping, but overall, the temple's serene and spiritual ambiance is unparalleled.

Excellently developed temple complex. More facilities are under development. The gold colored queue complex is very attractive with lot of fans for air circulation. Inside the main temple also the arrangements are good so that no suffocation and you can have peaceful darshan. Free darshan and free buses. Hoping to visit the temple again on completion of the development works.

Yadadri temple is dedicated to Lord Narasimha. The temple itself is magnificent. The renovations haven't made it lose its charm, instead gave it a blend of ancient and modern architecture. It's a must visit destination if you are in Hyderabad. The main idol is placed inside a rock-cut cave giving it a shade of natural formation. The temple premises provide ample parking areas along with toiletries and water booths. Street vendors and monkeys along the way makes it a true pilgrimage centre. Mobile phones are not allowed inside the main sanctum and should be either kept in your personal vehicles or in the "kiosk" provided. However, the latter costs you Rs 5 per each phone and there is also special darshan seva available, 150 per head it is.

Splendid and a must visit temple close to Hyderabad. I first visited this temple some 7 years ago, which was under renovation and visiting this today is just so amazing. Super delighted to see the whole architecture, Temple development and facilities around it.You shouldn’t miss the special darshanam which takes you to Garba gudi. Interiors look like Tamil Nadu’s all historical temples are modernised with superb lights that is Yadagiri for you. The views from the above is another don’t miss things. So, don’t miss walking around and seeing the beauty.In my view, you should visit the temple at golden hours (sunset time), and wait till the temple is lighted. It looks so brilliant.You can park the car above, so not a big hustle. Services are all good. It’s now a favourite weekend drive from Hyderabad for all spiritual believers.Remember to carry CASH: a very few ATMs out here and is a trouble when it's heavy rush times.

Went to Yadgiri Laxmi Narashim swamy temple, after avery long time.Took blessing from Laxmi Narashim swamy.Many changes happened, very spaces.Gundam is not there now, but Bajrangbali temple is still in the old place. Took blessing of Bajrangbali swamy.If you have to offer coconut buy it somewere else as the coconut nuts near the temple are very costly as each coconut is costing Rs 50/- and that too a small one.If you want to avoid hugu crowd go for darshanam before 8:30 in the morning.Laxmi Narashim swamy ki jai.

Huge temple with huge crowd, especially on satirday. And the saddest part is, even after standing in the queue for nearly 2-3 hours, you can see the murthi only for 2-3 seconds.Need to walk so long in a snake-like direction before entering the main temple. many stairs and slopes.May be because of free darshanam, I had to face so much chaos.There are shoe stands, luggage counters, mobile counters, food stalls and puja offering stalls outside the temple. However, many people kept shoes here and there.To capture the photos of the temple from outside, you have to complete darshan and walk all the way towards the mobile counder through the prasadam counter and then come back on the temple premise.Prasadam of different amount is available - rice prasadam and laddu prasadam. To collect prasadam, you need to face another long queue.Free buses are available from the bus stand to peak - very crowded.

Yadagiri temple has been extensively renovated and it is about 60-80 kms away from Hyderabad.The temple is open from 9am till 8 pm.During 4-5 pm evening they have 300 Rs darshan only.They are particular about traditional dress for men and women.So please carry dhoti and you will need that to enter the temple for men. This is followed strictly for the 300 rs darshan.Free darshan they will allow only pants and jeans for men no shorts allowed.For women as well traditional dress like salwar and saree is a must.In case men forget dhoti they have an option of buying it at the temple.The temple has free bus from the foothill to the top.If you don’t want to take the free bus you can take your car and you need to pay 500rs per car.Paid car parking at the foothill is 50rs.They sell laddu Prasad and other prasadam as well.The cost for the prasadam is between 30-200 Rs.Also they have huge crowds during weekends and special pooja days.Do plan well to visit the place. There is public bus as well to reach here to the foothills.The temple is well maintained and they have a good view of the places around as it is on the top of the hill.The free darshan can take 45-90 minutes on some days and on busy days it can take 90-240 mins so please plan accordingly.There are other tickets as well for darshan and pooja.They accept cash and gpay.They don’t allow mobile and camera so you will need to deposit it and take darshan and then collect it and walk up again to take pictures from the outside only.They have different entrance for free darshan and for the paid darshan.They also have a electric buggy to take folks from the parking lot uphill to the paid ticket entrance.They also have a pathway for folks to walk from the parking lot from the bottom of the hill to the top to the main temple.They will not allow luggage and have lockers for the same.The lockers are paid lockers.There is a small cafeteria as well on the top of the hill for snacks and coffee/tea and they have cool drinks and water as well.

Wait for another 3-4 months for the construction to complete. 6/5 stars after that.It would become a major tourist attraction.The whole journey from entry into yadagiri till reaching top is awesome.Lot of mismanagement at top at this moment... hopefully it will be resolved.Vehicles not allowed... Only auto (₹100 or ₹20 per person)

Temple area is being renovated and recently opened up for public. It was been designed very well and once fully operational will create a wonderful experience for all the devotees coming to temple. Vehicles are allowed till hilltop with additional charges else public can use the free bus shuttle service from normal parking to temple premises. Lack of proper signages creates confusion for access of temple and amenities. There is not enough staff in premises to guide the devotees. On weekends there is heavy rush of devotees.

Great temple to visit over the weekend. 3 hrs from Hyderabad. Facilities should have been better. The toilets were not clean.

This "hill-top" temple is dedicated to Lord Narasimha. The temple itself is magnificent. The renovations haven't made it lose its charm, instead gave it a blend of ancient and modern architecture. It's a must visit destination if you are in Hyderabad. The main idol is placed inside a rock-cut cave giving it a shade of natural formation.The temple premises provide ample parking areas along with toiletries and water booths. Street vendors and monkeys along the way makes it a true pilgrimage centre. Mobile phones are not allowed inside the main sanctum and should be either kept in your personal vehicles or in the "kiosk" provided. However, the latter costs you Rs 5 per each phone.

I visited recently two days ago.It was an excellent place to visit.Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy will be here in this place to make people happy & healthy with the wealthy.How to reach yadagiri from Hyderabad:You can travel from Hyderabad to Yadagirigutta by car or taxi. The distance is approximately **75 km** and it takes about **2 hours** depending on the traffic². You can take the NH163 highway which links Kodangal (Ravulapally) in Telangana and Bhopalpatnam road in Chhattisgarh via major cities like Hyderabad, Bhuvanagiri, Kazipet, Jangaon, Hanamkonda, and Warangal.Some other places to visit near yadagirigutta:There are several places to visit near Yadagirigutta. Some of the popular tourist attractions include:1. **Yadadri - Yadagirigutta** - Main temple of Sri Laxmi Narasimhaswamy2. **Pathagutta** - Old Sri Laxmi Narasimhaswamy Temple (2 KM)3. **Lotus Temple** - Manideepeshwari Temple and Museum, Near Check post4. **Ayyappa Konda** - Ayyappa Swamy Temple, Mallapur Road5. **Surendrapuri & Kunda Satyanarayana Kaladhamam** - Panchamukha Hanuman Temple & Mythological Museum (2 KM)¹History of yadagiri Gutta:According to the history, Yadagirigutta was first built in the 13th century and served as a place of worship for devotees of Lord Vishnu. The original site covered merely 2,500 square yards of the land but has since expanded to over 14 acres and is an important landmark in Kamareddy today¹. In Tretayugam, there lived a sage by the name of Yadarishi, son of the great sage Rishyasrunga and Santa Devi who did penance inside a cave with the blessings of Anjaneya (Hanuman). On this hill between Bhongir (Bhuvanagiri) and Raigiri (Now in Nalgonda district of Telangana, India), Lord Narasimha(an incarnation of Lord Vishnu) appeared before him. Being pleased with his devotion, Lord Narasimha blessed him with his darshan in the form of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy²³.Pros:1) place was excellent.2) surely you love it.3) prasadam was superb4) water & washrooms are available everywhere.5) free busses to temple.Cons:1) Queue lines are heavy.2) heavy checking.3) even we are going in Queue many times they will trouble to check.(3 times is not ok )4) washrooms maintenance should be more better.5) buses are over crowded. It's not safe because it was written not exceed more than 30.6) buses crowd should be less. Because it's a hill side area. It should be dangerous like this. They are taking more than limit.

Inside the temple you feel like as entered into Heaven, The Ambience and The Sculptures are beautiful. Real Cinematic Experience 💥They have special darshans with 150 and 300 Rupees tickets

Sri Lakshmi Narayan Swamy Temple is really beautiful, surrounded by lush green trees. The development around the Temple and of the roads makes the rides soothing experiences. I recommend everyone to visit the place once. ♥️Parking: One has to pay 500rs if you want to park your vehicle on the hill. And 50rs if you park it down the hill. And free bus services are available.Prasad: It will be better if they create some more counters for Prasad.Mobiles are not allowed inside the temple.Wear traditional outfits.Beware from 🐒.

The Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple in Yadagirigutta, also known as Yadadri, is one of the oldest and most significant temples in Telangana, India. The history of the temple dates back over centuries, with mentions in various ancient texts and scriptures.According to mythology, the temple's origins are associated with Sage Yadarishi, after whom the place is named. It is believed that Lord Narasimha appeared to the sage here and blessed the area, leading to the establishment of the temple. Over time, the temple underwent several renovations and expansions under the patronage of different dynasties, including the Kakatiya and Vijayanagara empires.In recent times, the temple has undergone significant development and renovation efforts initiated by the Telangana state government to enhance its infrastructure and facilities for pilgrims. It remains a revered pilgrimage site for devotees of Lord Narasimha, attracting thousands of visitors every year seeking blessings and spiritual solace.On a splendid Sunday afternoon, we made the wise decision to embark on the sacred journey of sarva darshanam. It took us a grand total of two hours to reach the revered sanctom sanctorum. Ordinarily, on a regular working day, the pilgrimage would require a mere thirty minutes to an hour. However, during holidays, one must be prepared to devote anywhere from one to four hours for the divine darshanam.For those seeking a more expedited and convenient visit to the temple, an option of chargeable darshanam is available. This exclusive privilege ensures a seamless experience, allowing devotees to bask in the divine presence without any unnecessary delays. The timings for darshanam are as follows: 7:15–11:30 am, 12:30–3 pm, 5–7 pm, and 8:15–9 pm.When it comes to parking, there are two options at your disposal. The first is located at the foothill, while the second is a chargeable parking facility costing ₹500 per vehicle. It is worth noting that the parking near the temple itself has limited capacity and is not deemed worthy of consideration. Fear not, for the temple provides complimentary buses from the foothill parking area, ensuring a hassle-free journey to the divine abode.While the main temple is undeniably awe-inspiring, it is disheartening to witness the lackluster management of the queues, luggage storage, and overall organization. Such a magnificent place of worship deserves a more efficient and well-coordinated system to cater to the devout pilgrims.As for the dress code, one must adhere to the traditional Indian attire or formal wear, paying homage to the sacred customs and traditions of the temple.The temple trust graciously offers accommodation for pilgrims who wish to spend the night in close proximity to the temple. Additionally, there are several private hotels available in the charming town of Yad Giri for those seeking alternative lodging options. To enhance the overall experience, the temple trust has meticulously crafted a captivating garden surrounding the temple, adding a touch of allure to this must-visit destination.

Yadadri Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple, a don't miss temple located near Hyderabad. This temple has a great history and the brs government of Telangana updated the temple to the next level. When I was entering the main temple, i felt like I was entering heaven 😍. Parking is a little bit confusing here.So here are three ways to reach the top of the hill. First way, park your vehicle down hill and take steps way. Steps are steep and after getting up and down via steps, my legs were literally shivering 😂. Second way, park your vehicle down hill and get a bus that goes uphill. Third way, i heard we can go uphill with our personal vehicle by paying 500 rupees or by getting VIP permission.Prasadam ticket counter and prasadam issuing counter are both at different place but within 100m.This temple is a must revisit temple and you'll never dissatisfy.

Temple was very good and had pleasant darshan. If we go between 4-5 pm then we can go near Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy. But we need to wear dothi and it's mandatory. The ticket price is 300/- per person. Car parking near temple is 500 rupees. So we can park cars near padaalu and can go to temple by auto they charge 100/- . Car parking near padaalu is 50/-

It's one the best temple. Everything is very Systematic. very huge and very well constructed. Best time to visit week days. Weekends very Rush. In side temple air conditioner also there😇. Must visit places

Telangana's own Tirupati....A great experience visiting the temple with family members.Newly built temple is nothing short of amazement, but the authorities need to be more careful while providing the instructions via sign boards.I hope they will implement much more clarity on maintaining the sign boards for the visitors.Recommendations : Also visit sirigiri. On way to Hyderabad.

It is the most unique, beautiful and pleasant Hillock with moderate Climate in all seasons and the temple is located at a distance of about 60 KM from the Hyderabad, capital city of Telangana. The flow of devotees / pilgrims visiting the temple for worship is very high since it is situated near the capital city. Every day not less than 5000-8000 pilgrims on average visits this temple for offering their vows, performing of saswata pujas ,saswata kalyanam,LakshaTulasi Pujas ,Abhisekam etc.,.. There will be heavy congregation of devotees / pilgrims during Saterdays, Sundays and other Public Holidays.Sri Lakshminarasimha Swamy Temple or Yadagirigutta is a popular Hindu Temple of Narasimha Swamy, an incarnation Lord Vishnu It is situated on a hillock in the Nalgonda district, Telangana, Yadagirigutta is at a distance of 6 KM from Riagir Railway station and at a distance of 13 KM from Bhongir Town and 60 kilometers from the city of Hyderabad.StructureAfter many years had passed, the Lord appeared in the dream of a devout lady among the tribe, directing her to a large cavern wherein He revealed Himself to all as five majestic Avatars.Pleased with his deep devotion, Lord Narasimha, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu appeared before him in five different forms as Sri JwalaNarasimha ,Sri Yogananda, SriGandabherunda, Sri Ugra and Sri Lakshminarasimha. All these five forms (roopas) are presently worshipped within the temple. They later manifested themselves into finely sculpted forms that later came to be worshiped as Pancha Narasimha Kshetram. There are Purana and traditional accounts of this Shrine, which are widely popular among the devotees. There is mention about the origin of this temple in the Skanda Purana, one of the famous 18 puranas.

Divine place to visit with great history… the renovation is good but few things can be done better- parking fee for 4 wheeler to top is 500- which is too much. The battery vehicle for senior citizens or physically handicapped are not used to the best as normal public also take that.The arrangements came be better - Prasadam is not given even if it is available.The place is well renovated with many facilities for pilgrims. People throng on weekends and expect a heavy rush on holidays too…

Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple is also known as Pancha Narasimha Kshetram and Rishi Aradhana Kshetram. According to the Skanda Purana, Yada, the son of the sage Rishyasringa performed Tapasya here to the god Narasimha Swamy. Being pleased with his penance, Narasimha manifested himself in five forms: Jvala Narasimha, Gandabherunda Narasimha, Yogananda Narasimha, Ugra Narasimha, and Lakshmi Narasimha. For this reason, the temple has deities of Narasimha in all five forms enshrined in stone in the main cave. Historically, the temple has followed the Tenkalai tradition of the Vaishnava Agama Shastras as followed in South India. Jvala Narasimha is in the shape of a serpent, while Yogananda Narasimha appears sitting in meditation in yoga pose and the silver icon of Lakshmi-Narasimha is installed in the main shrine. To the right of the temple main door is a Hanuman temple. There is a long horizontal gap in the rock just below Hanuman. This is said to be where Gandaberunda Narasimha manifested.The Temple renovation work was started in 2016 and the new temple was inaugurated on 28 March 2022. The temple was rebuilt in the Krishna Sila (Black stone). Major renovation of the temple is being taken up with a budget of ₹1800 crores by Yadadri Temple Development Authority. The temple owned 39 kilos of gold and 1,753 tonnes of silver for lining the gopurams and walls in the temple. The centuries-old practice of using lime mortar to join different stone parts is being used. The YTDA acquired around 1900 acres by spending ₹300 crores. It is great experience to visit Temple which is very spacious now with four Mada Veedhulu.We had Nija Abhisheka Darshanam which starts at 5.15am in front of main deity. It was very wonderful experience and felt blessed.

I recently visited Yadagirigutta and was captivated by the temple's magnificent architecture. The intricate design and craftsmanship truly showcase the rich cultural heritage of the region. Additionally, the location exudes a profound sense of spirituality . I was impressed by the excellent maintenance of the temple premises, which further enhances the overall experience.Yadagirigutta is indeed a place of beauty, serenity, and devotion.

This is the famous temple in Hyderabad.Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple is constructed on the hill top.Temple construction was very nice and there was also a sculpture design and paintings too.Free bus service will be available from the car parking to the hill top for darshan.Electric vehicles will be available for pregnant women and physically handicapped and older ones.The surrounding environment was soo cool.Fresh air will comes and touches you always...Inside the temple it was soo beautiful, no words to express.Looks like the Temples top is touches the sky.You can see that in my tagged photos as well.The prasadam was also very delicious and yummy too. Few item will be closed before 8:30 AM.If you want to visit the temple please be there by 7 AM in the morning. Rush will be less and the weather will be cool and nice.Visit the place once and get the blessings of Lord Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy.

I must say it's a truly breathtaking experience of visiting the YADADRI SRI LAKSHMI NARASIMHA SWAMY TEMPLE. It is situated in small town Yadagirigutta.This temple has recently renovation and the result is a stunning architecture. The total temple was built in the KRISHNA SILA (Black Stone). The new temple was inaugurated on 28/03/2022 by chief minister of Telangana K.Chendrasekhar Rao.The interior and exterior of the temple was simply mind-blowing. The temple owned 39kg of gold and 1753 tons of silver for lining the Gopuram wall in the templeIt is located 16 km from the district headquarter Bhuvanagiri. And 55km from Uppal (Hyderabad).

Beautiful place along with mesmerizing architecture! Clean and well maintained.Faced a little issue while navigating through the entries for paid darshan .. which has not made much difference compared to normal entry inside the temple!

Before visiting this place please mind this points-wear traditional wear only like long and neat-if free darshan line is full go with 150/-tickets-arrange own food,no food is available around 6km at temple permissions-beside new bus stand free food is available from 12pm to 2:30 pm-if you came by car go to the hill on car only its cost 500/- but worthy.lots of rush for free bus(weekends)-better to visit this place after sunset time.-prasad area need to improve alot it cant handle the weekend rush,skip this place if u r on weekends.

Every devotional and beautiful temple. Though it is situated a bit far from city of Hyderabad. It is definitely a must visit temple to visit.Post renovation it has become very huge, pleasant and beautiful place.This place has good connectivity of road and bus facilities.However the biggest challenge is they are not accepting UPI and Card at anywhere in the temple like for Darshan tickets, Prasadam etc, only cash is accepted as of now. These days how many people are carrying cash and Darshan tickets and Prasadam are ranging from 150-300. So you are going in group or even alone, I recommend to carry cash when visiting this temple.

Yadadri is a 21st century construction. The temple detailing are too good and has a grandeur look. The Lord abode is not disturbed and it is kept as it has formed among the hills. Such a beautiful place and definitely worth visiting.

This was my first time visiting the temple and I feel like visiting this temple often. The temple is well constructed and is very structured. Car parking is expensive if you want to park on the hill on very close to temple, otherwise you can park below the mountain and go by bus. The temple ladoo was so so soft 😍

The entire experience of Yadagirigutta and Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple is holy, the recent developments work keeping the heritage intact makes the temple a soothing with enchanting experience. With all added pomp and gaiety the place has garnered little commercial aspects too. All in all must visit place for a family and devotional time🙏

The best devotional place had spent a lot of time, enjoyed whole place. Peaceful 🕊️ must visit devotional place. So much development is done in recent times and still much more is being done. Rooms are available to stay for night. It will become a major temple in Telangana. So much satisfied with the place❤️🙏

Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple, Yadadri.Compared to the old temple some basic amenities need to improve.

Om Narayanaya !Jai Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy 🔱1) VERY POOR MAINTENANCE BY TEMPLE MANAGEMENT.THEY ONLY GIVE SPECIAL RESPECT TO THE ONE WHO TAKES SPECIAL POOJA TICKETS.The parking is very far from the temple. The parking area is very pathetic, not a clean place.2)You have to wait for the bus for one hour to visit the temple from the parking place. No shelter for people waiting for the bus.The bus drivers won't stop while people getting into the bus. They are careless stupids. There is no one to control the Q and people don't have common sense. Everyone will hurry up as if the day is the last day to live.3)No hygiene near the temple entrance, no dustbins available outside people throw plastic bottles, dippers etc near the temple.4) No management of queue line people push each other. while going to visit the main idol.Divine place to visit with great history… the renovation is good but few things can be done better- parking fee for 4 wheeler to top is 500- which is too much for just 2 kms. The battery vehicle for senior citizens is not properly utilised.Even Cabs/Taxis are not available. Only autos are available but they are not available properly.The arrangements can be better - Free Prasadam is not given even if it is available.The place is well renovated.Jai Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy 🔱

Nice place and maintained well. The remains of vintage kakatiya dynasty would be seen all around. The architecture on the rocks are excellent. Choose to take a guide along with you if you want to know in depth about the history. A Must visit place at Warangal.

It is nonetheless an open museum but with the opportunity to touch and feel all the sculptures around. Warangal fort is undoubtedly a delight to the people interested in history/archeology.The ruins speak of the rich heritage and flawless architecture. The works are so detailed and creative. This is declared as a protected monument by the archeological survey of India.Entry fee 25 rupees.Note: Lots of benches are there to sit. But even during the heat of March, it was literally unbearable. So, visit in the early hours or during the sunset or visit during winter.

It is not a fort, its just ancient demolished artifacts which should be in museums are left open air.It's very small and nothing is there to visit. They are charging 25/- to watch nothing. There is nothing to see and no water and no toilet as well. The toilets are closed.

Must visit place to understand history. Teaches us a lesson or two with respect to islamic conquests. Heartbreaking to see such great heritage in ruins. Hope government takes care of this place and preserves it in current state.

Very good maintenance by Archeological Survey of India . Ticket price is 25 . There is an option to get it for less price for 20 but that requires going to a website and giving details of everyone entering.The ruins are maintained well and greenery is good . You can spend around 15-30 minutes in there. Opposite to is Childrens park where decent good child activities are present in economical prices .

Had great time here.The entire region is serine.Had to take the tickets worth ₹25 .If you take the cashless payment method, you can save ₹5/-.The closing time is 6pm unlike in the description.You can see numerous sculptures and greenery.The fort is worth the roaming ♥️

Ruins of ancient fort of Warangal.This has got 4 stone-carved arches in each direction, with some ruins in the middle . The sculptures speak up of the marvelous skills of the sculptors.. guides are available for better understanding of the sculptures.Tickets - 20/adult, children upto 15 yrs of age have free entry.May take around 30 minutes for completing the tour.

They have online ticket booking through an archeological survey of India (Only Rs. 20). When you take tickets in person it's Rs.25. Not many shops are present outside for refreshments, food, try to bring your own. The fort is neatly maintained. It has original structures. Worth seeing.

We visited on Sankranti so it was fully crowded. This is an ASI site where the historic monuments were placed, but the maintenance is not good. This place seems to be dedicated for clicking photos. Ample parking available, toilets were unhygienic. One time visit nothing much.

5 stars not enough for warrangal fort.I need more . Must visited place. Entry fee- 25rs. / PersonThe place is better than a meuseum, where people can touch or feel the sculptures. We went there from Kolkata. Kindly go early morning. After 12 p.m it's heard to stand under sunlight .

The Warangal Fort, located in Telangana, India, is a fascinating historical site with intricate architecture and rich cultural significance. It offers visitors a glimpse into the region's medieval past, with its massive stone walls, ornate gateways, and ancient temples. Exploring the fort provides a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the history and heritage of the Kakatiya dynasty. However, like many historical sites, it may require some maintenance to preserve its charm for future generations. Overall, it's a must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone interested in ancient Indian architecture.

This is the beautiful place for the history lovers. There are many many stone carvings are laying down, most of them are in shattered condition, but one can see it thoroughly.It depends on your interest that how much time you are going to spend here, just make sure this Fort closes for visitors around 6pm and security person will inform us to leave.There is a Sound & Light show @ 7pm in Telugu for 40 minutes and in English/Hindi @ 8pm (depending on crowd).

The place is very nice but with timings I had a bad experience.. at least you need 1 hour to enjoy that place.. since it is in an open place, can't visit during sunny day..

This is one of the major tourists attraction of Warangal. The fort was originally built by the rulers of Kakatiya dynasty but now you could see the remains of the fort.The place is very well maintained. You could spent some quality time with your family. The remains of the fort reminds of the archeological brilliance of Kakatiya dynasty. It's a paradise for the people who loves photography.There is a children's park very near to this place. You can visit this park also.

It is a very good place to visit architecture. Just like a picnic spot. It's just a small view point don't expect much from this place opposite Fort There's a park that is beautiful for kids and family. Enjoy visiting with your loved ones and have fun

Must visited place in Warangal which reflects glorious past . Monument also serves as museum.Entery ticket is very minimal 20 rs. Campus is quite big with lots of greenery and washroom facility.

Nice historic place to visit. Ekasila is also a must visit to have a good sight over near by lake and surroundings.Good tree canopy and beatification works are appreciable there.

A historically significant place, having strong inner & outer walls. Apart from normal damaged fort structure undergoing new facelift, green grass lawn & kush mahal are also real treat for visitors. Sufficient parking facility is available.

The Warangal fort.The fort was constructed in the 13th century in the reign of the Kakateya King Ganapati Deva. The Warangal fort is most famous for its graceful and finitely carved arches and pillars.its has garden inside and boating. For entry ticket is 10 for children 20 for adults

Warangal fort is the main attraction of Warangal. Beautiful place with many sculptures.Though the toilets are clean, but i dont think many people go there. Toilets doesn’t have water. So check before you go the toilets.

Its good place to visit,it's in Telangana not in Andhra Pradesh ( I know initially these were same only!)The entry fees is ₹25 per person

The history of the Warangal Fort dates back to the reign of the Kakatiya dynasty, who commissioned its construction as a stronghold to defend their kingdom from external threats. Over the centuries, the fort underwent several expansions and renovations, each adding to its grandeur and magnificence. Its strategic location atop a hill provided a vantage point for monitoring trade routes and safeguarding the kingdom's interests.

They just placed all the ruins from the fort at one place..dont expect too much..it mostly looks like a gallary exhibition. But worth the time

Must visit if you are visiting or passing by Warangal. Am sure archaeologists and historians will find treasures.From common people like us the place is very quiet and allows us to appreciate the great work by our ancestors.

To visit ekasila park first , then the fort.You need to visit before light fails,that is 6.30 pm.If you you have an appetite for sculpture, it's the best place to visit. You need atleast 2 hours to observe each and every monument and feel them.You would be speechless and amazed by those brilliant monuments.You can also witness the irreparable damage caused and you will leave the place with a heavy heart.And most importantly, to know about the place better and it's historical importance, don't forget to visit the sound and light show. It is available in both English and Telugu.

It's an great place to remember the great rule of kakatiya kingdom &very detailed &great sculptures each and every one which shows you the greatness of kingdom visit again one of the historical place of warangal fort👌🤗&very sad to see the broken sculptures 😒

Recently visited Warangal fort and installed 15kW On grid solar plant by Kakatiya Energies Team. This fort has a great history.

You can see the artefacts from close and explore the history of Kakatiyas there. Just preserved ruins of fort. Went there as I thought it may be similar to Golconda but nothing much to seeike there. Ekashila children park and a temple is also there nearby.

This fort is ruined completely, with few pillars, idols, arches and others available now for us to see. The sculptures are a sight to behold. The place looks beautiful even in ruins. Monsoon would be the best season to visit this place.

The ruins are preserved in good condition and are beautiful to look at. There is a lot of history here. The only thing I felt bad was that some visitors were sitting on the rock remains of the ruins. The architecture of Swayambhu temple is of 1300-1400. We should respect our heritage. Also we should not touch the pillars and monuments as it can damage the architecture. You can buy tickets online now using ASI government website in advance or at the site also. It is cool as it prevents corruption at ticket booth.

There are no buses or share autos to reach this place from Hanamkonda bus stand. A rapido bike from Hanamkonda bus stand to here will cost around Rs 80. Booked ticket in asi website and it costed Rs 20 , directly taking tickets here will cost rs 25.The ruins are spread on a small area here and the place is like an open air museum. Try to visit this place in morning or in evening as it gets extremely hot in noon. Reading it's history online before reaching here will make this place interesting.For travel,food and history plz follow my insta account..insta id @shenoypradeep

Excellent place to visit & very much peaceful place. Am visit first timeTemple is very beautiful just I love this

Bhadrakali Temple in Warangal is a popular temple dedicated to Goddess Bhadrakali. Located by a lake, it’s known for its peaceful atmosphere and the large statue of the goddess with eight arms. The temple is a serene spot, attracting many visitors for prayer and to enjoy its natural beauty.

One of the oldest temples and oh god the idol is just glowing. Loved the place. Done kunkum archan there. We also lit the 100 piece lit to goddess dipped in ghee.Lake beside gives a refreshing experience.

Great temple and beautiful lake. Roots of this temple belongs to chalukya king pulakeshin-2(625 A.D).But the present temple is reconstruction and has no comparison to old ruins. Devi murty is beautiful and attractive. Needs some improvement in management.

Best Temples of Telangana. Very divine and powerful temple. You can't find such mesmerizing Idol anywhere. So big idol having divinity like a sun. You will feel like your big divine mother is waiting for you, when you see her. All priests are also very good. You can give prasad, saree and flower garland to Maa Bhdrakali. Must visit once to this temple. Really seeing the idol will give you so much positive vibes and happiness. You can get also the best delicious pulihora fried in Ghee and Peanut. The laddo is very delicious too. If you are lucky enough you can get one very delicious annaprasadam inside the temple. Toilet facilties are there too.Bhadrakali lake and shiv parvati idol along with green mountain is really soothing.

One of the most powerful and beautiful places in the warangal district. Must visit the place to worship Bhadrakali Devi. The nature and atmosphere is beautiful. The temple have three different ways. There are toilets inside the temple but be aware of Monkeys. You can use toilets outside near parking costs 10/- per person parking free.

Amazing Temple and a Must Visit Temple..This is a 1,000 year old Temple..Prasadams at the Temple are very tasty - Pulibora, Sugar Laddu, Bellam Laddu and Rava Kesari are the Prasadams available..Temple is in Warangal City near to the Bus Stop

Such a beautiful temple it is. My most favourite temple of all time. The environment in the temple premises is so good. While we see the Bhadrakali Goddess, we forget about our tensions, works, etc. The Goddess is so adorable that we keep on looking at her. We get the peace actually. The surroundings and atmosphere make our mind calm so that we can't get out of the temple. I suggest weekdays (except Friday& Sunday) are the best time to visit so that you can enjoy the water and nature that's exactly to the Temple. Make sure to plan properly, avoid the rush, Have a peaceful darshan, and enjoy the environment.భద్రకాలీ శరణం మమ 🕉️🙇🏽❤️

Travel: It's really embarking to visit this place. It stands out in its nature and scenery. The travelling journey shouldn't take much time from the main city. There was parking space available for the arena and the foot journey to reach the main temple isn't much of an issue.Destination: As soon as you entire the main premises, you will be astounded by the huge rocks beside which the two shrines of the goddess reside, lightning up the entire structure with its enchantment. Whilst you enter the main temple area, you will be bestowed with the view of lake around the temple which was enlightening. The serenity of it was embazzling to grasp that you cannot have enough of it. Inside the temple, there's calm and peace, along with a section dedicated for traditional sarees. And you end your journey with view of another huge rock that is illuminated with lights and few shrines of the goddess.Amenities: The washroom was a risky journey with it being in a different place and the pathway was not visible. The condition of the washrooms was pathetic and haven't been cleaned. Other facilities was not scrutinized by me.Summary: The serenity of the place and aura of this temple should be known by encountering it in person, by visiting this place.

Goddess bhadrakali temple.Very beautiful lake view and peacefulness.Must visit place in warangal.

Sri bhadrakali devasthanam is very famous in warangal and Telangana. It is often visited by politician's and normal people. The rush here is very huge in festive seasons. You can spend a nice amount of time in the evening and morning in the park here. You can enjoy beauty of the lake and can visit tank bund. Prasadam offered here are laddo, rava kesari, pulihora..

I heard that this is one of the most powerful and places in the warangal district. Must visit the place to worship Bhadrakali Devi. The nature and aura of the temple is peaceful. The Sree Bhadra Kali Devasthanam temple is a famous Hindu temple located in Kerala, India. It is dedicated to Goddess Bhadrakali, a form of the goddess Kali, who is known for her fierce yet protective nature. The temple's history dates back many centuries and it holds cultural and religious significance in the region.The temple is believed to be built in 625 A.D by the King Pulakeshin II of Chalukya dynasty to commemorate his victory over Vengi region of Andhra Desham, as per the writings on the temple wall. Kakatiya kings later have adopted the temple and considered Goddess Bhadrakali as their kuladevata. Bhadrakali temple is situated atop a hill between the cities of Hanamkonda and Warangal in Andhra Pradesh. The presiding deity of the temple is goddess Kali in her fierce form – large eyes, grim countenance, and eight arms wielding different weapons. The image is made of stone and it sits on her vehicle, the lion. Goddess Bhadrakali is considered to be a symbol of fortitude and fierceness. Bhadrakali is a terrifying manifestation of Goddess Kali that defends the noble from evil, brings good fortune and success in the lives of the worshippers. Bhadrakali Bhadrakali appeared from the third eye of Shiva to kill demon Darika. Bhadrakali is one of the most powerful forms of Goddess Parvati or Devi. Goddess Parvati is the consort of Lord Shiva and Bhadrakali is one of the nine forms of Devi.Bhadrakali is a form of Shakti. This is considered to be one of the 51 Shakti 'pithas' of India.

This is a must visit temple if you are in Warangal. Very peaceful and scenic.Behind the temple is a water source making the landscape beautiful.People can take blessings as well as pictures of the landscape

Nice holy place. Temple of Sri Bhadrakali.Inside the temple photography is strictly prohibited.Pandit will be there, you can have your puja, we visited this temple in weekday, so not much crowded. Weekend may be little crowded. You need to maintain queue to enter the temple. In case of heavy crowd, there will be separate queue where you can pay money and have your darshan early.Lake view behind the temple is mesmerizing.Separate shoe shop is there where you can keep your shoes before entering the temple.

A religious place.The temple is located beside a lake (Bhadrakali Lake). New temple structures have been built on top of the older stone temple. This older stone structure can only be glimpsed at, from the outside, but experienced in full once completely inside the temple.No photos are allowed to be taken inside the main temple, but are allowed outside. There is also a park attached to the temple. There are also a couple other small temples other than the main Bhadrakali temple.BEWARE:1. There are monkeys.2. Although there is no ticket required for Darshan, there are 50/- and 100/- tickets to skip the queue. This is especially useful when one needs to avoid the crowd and wants to directly go inside. This is useful on Friday as there is more crowd on that day.

Beautiful location, clean and well-maintained temple premises made my visit to ma Bhadrakali even better. Along with the main temple, there are small and seperate shrines dedicated to Mahadev, Hanuman, Subramanya Swamy and Navagrahas.The murti of Devi Bhadrakali is made up of stone and it is 2.7 meters tall and shown in a sitting position with 8 hands.Kakatiya rulers worshiped devi Bhadrakali.Devotees can take pictures of the temple, photography of the main murti is prohibited. A replica and a picture is given outside.Temple is open from morning 5:30. 1 PM to 3 PM it remains closed.

One of the most iconic places in Warangal. The crowd here is unbelievable. The peace and serenity too is so relaxing. Faith draws people from all over Telagana to seek blessings of the divine. The place is well organised. It is better to buy a ₹50 pass to avoid the long queues. This place surprising is a haven for visitors as there are 20 temples in the vicinity.

Beautifully maintained, clean, pleasant, peaceful premises. The surrounding rock hills and the lake add to beauty and create a holly environment . The entire mandir premises was duly covered with a pendal of wooden pillar and bamboo mats to protect stone slab ground base from high intensity sun light and thereby create an ease to the devotees to have free movement in mandir premises. I noble idea which all other temple management bodies to follow.Lovely Gesture.

Would highly suggest to visit if you are a Hindu it's all worth it when you see the idol of god

Travel: It was easy to locate and reach the destination. But there might be a problem of parking space.Destination: As it was evening time, the crowd was not hefty and the entire place was commendable for it's maintenance and illuminating. The main temple certainly consisted of carvings of gods and goddesses, with the centre dome. Also something noticeable was that one of the pillars on the dome had some writing. The complete nuance of this heritage is wonderful to explore.Amenities: I haven't figured this one and not sure if they have washrooms and other facilities.Summary: It is a good place to know our heritage and to explore it's ferocity.

The Thousand Pillar Temple in the town of Hanamakonda, part of Warangal, Telangana State is one of the most significant religious sites with an amazing architecture! The temple is supported by a thousand richly carved pillars each of which are placed carefully in a way that it stands out of the view of the deities. The three presiding deities of this temple are Lord Shiva, Lord Surya and Lord Vishnu.

A must visit if you are ever in the cultural capital of Telangana. This place simply blew my mind away. It is very close to Chowrasta. It has very ancient stone carvings and is a good place for taking pictures. The architecture is rock-solid. It would have been nice if there was a proper pathway which could be of tiles as it is very difficult to walk on the stony path. You are allowed to take pictures of the latter half of the temple but not allowed to take pictures of the inner sanctuary where the idols are placed. This should definitely be on your hit list of your visit to Warangal.

When I'm visiting thousand pillar temple is under repairing, not allowed to see by near. Other than Temple can see. Now running devotional initiatives. Temple sculpture awesome. You can spend one hour. It's in Hanmakonda. Near by Warangal city.

Awesome art. Big Siva linga inside the temple. More taller than an average man. Big pond is there in front of the temple. Big trees like banyan tree, neem tree..make that surroundings very pleasant.

The temple is star-shaped with several shrines andlingams. There are three shrines inside the temple called the Trikutalayam, dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu, and Surya. There are 1,000 pillars in the structure, but no pillar obstructs a person inany point of the temple to see the God.

One of the oldest and heritage temples we have. Great architecture. Visited on a holiday and was crowded. Parking is bit tough on holidays being located in busy area in Warangal. Need to add more lights in the premises. Construction, maintenance work is going on the day we visited, plus crowded. So couldn't spend much time, blessed to have darshan.🙏🙏🙏

Old is gold. I spend some time inside the temple. Though the outside was too sunny around 40 degree but inside the temple it was too cool. Really the ancient work was so mesmerizing.

I enjoyed visiting this place as it takes me back to my childhood days. Needless to mention about what an architecture marvel it is. At least I cannot describe in my own words. The temple is currently under renovation and there is work going on. It was little difficult to understand what they are trying to do, but hope whatever they do it will be best.Temple is in city and just few minutes away from Badrakali Temple. So if you plan to visit cover that as well. We could not due to time constraint.There is small well kind of place, it's called Kolanu where devotees probably used to take bath in olden days. Now it's a residence for loads of tortoises. It was nice to see, it did not become shabby with plastic and dirty, except water turned totally green with moss.All said and done, I enjoyed visiting the place in past and present and will any day love it in future too. 😀

Very old and historic temple but not well maintained. Don't expect too much and go you will be upset. It's like a normal temple but there is a history. People outside the temple will sell the coconut set but they will not be allowed to break anywhere in the temple. Overall devotional and located at the middle of the city.

I was really amazed and felt divine in the temple. It's a great temple architecture by the kakatiya emperor. It's a looks grandeur with small details of sculptures. You will feel proud of our culture and talent of our ancient people.

Stone sculpture Marvel of of our history. Telangana govt along ASI must do rigorous work make this temple a heritage place.lot work to be done in terms of making it a landmark.Surrounds area needs lots of beautification and need to preserve our culture at any cost.This temple needs urgent attebtion

A true marvel of sculptures and art imbedded in the stones of thousand pillars temple. An unique and extremely attention to detail art of Kakatiya’s preserved on these very pillars. Siva temple is still standing. It’s a must visit place, would take much time but worth spending time.

Historic place with beautiful architecture. Limited parking space as it is near the city center. Temple surroundings could be improved and need proper maintenance.Early morning and evening are the best time to visit if you are planning to take few good pics.

This ancient temple is one of the best, boasting remarkable architecture. The sculptures are unique and unlike any others seen in India. While I'm not deeply into history, the damages are noticeable. The best part is the peaceful atmosphere, making it a great place to spend time. Additionally, there's a beautifully maintained park outside the temple.

I gave rating of 5 as its more tick in a box. I can never rate such a beautiful place, it's indeed one of the finest marvel declared as UNESCO World Heritage Site. Absolutely a delight to spend time at this place. Every step you take once you enter the temple premises leaves you mesmerized.I was just thinking how did one carve such a marvel. Truly amazing. Lord Shiva Linga's are huge, and when I say huge indeed. They are like 6 to 7 feet hight. Ceiling, Walls, Floor, every bit of it is worth spending some quality time.Road to this place is good and you will not have any difficulty reaching the place. It will be good if you can pack some food and enjoy as a picnic too. But be very careful not inside or nearer to temple as you will find enough monkeys waiting to attack. And if you ask me, why would they attack, my answer is as they are monkeys, they will... 😆😀

A UNESCO heritage site. Maintained very well with good lawns on the walkway to temple and with necessary amenities of water etc. Architecture is good . Guides are available at the location. Photography is allowed inside but restricted to not take the photo of Lord Shiva . This temple withstood earthquakes and the bottom huge beams can be seen that they are inclined and protruded from the ground due to the earthquake.

A great work of art from the century-old Kakatiya dynasty. Each wall of the temple (both inside and outside) has some magnificient and flawless sculptures - perfection is just a small word to justify these works.It is a UNESCO certified World Heritage Site and its truly amazing to witness it.I had a goosebumps moments while touching the walls and realizing what a rich heritage we had in the past. Peacefully enjoyed the architecture. But for people with no interest in history, these are just the broken temples. Only the main Rudreshwar temple is somewhat preserved.This place needs to be promoted more and freequent buses needed from Mulugu to bring more tourists.I loved it. It is truly a broken yet very beautiful place.Sufficient food stalls are there. Washroom and drinking water available. Shoestand available.

The atmosphere is calm. It is better to visit in evening time. The temple is completely made of stones and is mind-blowing... There are so many small and big temple buildings nearby. Many of them are destroyed. Only tha Ramappa main temple is preserved as such. The construction of the temples are extremely mind-blowing. It holds great historical value.

What is even more fascinating is that these details were carved onto black basalt and red sandstone,materials know for being delicate and the Gopuram and Kupola are made with light bricks. It is a cool and calm place without much rush. The temple is timed between 6 A.M. and 6P.M. this place is abundant in terms of nature. It is a must visit place.

It’s our Heritage. So many attacked that temple, but even today we can feel the greatness of our kings , sculptors. We have to show these types of places to our children, so that they can know what’s our ancestors are. How they showed our culture our rituals our sanathana dharma, our history in the form idols, sculptures. Today so many tells that , what’s in India. But if we see these types of places we can say and show the world that India is developed country in the art of culture tradition , education, economy, and what not. Thank u for our Archeological department and government for preserving the History of Bharath.

Riding with our crew through the forested route from our home town to the Ramappa Temple was an adventure in itself! And when we finally arrived, the spiritual vibe hit us hard.The temple, with its amazing carvings and ancient vibes, blew us away. Exploring it with our riding club members made it even more fun. If you're into bike rides and history, this trip is a must-do!

Nandi Mandapam, RAMAPPA, Mulugu, Telangana 506345, India

Obviously the mistake I did was to visit the falls in summer, there was just a teeny tiny stream of water seeping through the rocks. I was really exited before visiting the place as it is called the “Niagara of Telangana”, but it was bad planning which ruined my day. However, the place is well maintained with some artifacts. Good enough place for picnic kind of set up. The entry ticket was just 20rs/person. Since there was no water when I visited, there was no traffic at all. We spent some time clicking pictures and started back. If you are planning to have lunch or something, its better to get your own food.

the entry fee for each person is 30rs. Cannot take vehicles in should walk for 5 min to see bagotha water falls, there are no food stalls inside it should carry your own food. Washrooms for changing are available for both male and female

Bogatha Waterfalls, known as the "Niagara of Telangana," is a beautiful natural spot in the Jayashankar Bhupalpally district. Surrounded by green trees, this waterfall is a peaceful place to enjoy nature. The water looks especially amazing during the monsoon season. The area is not too crowded and is great for picnics and relaxing. Reaching the falls requires a short trek, which adds some adventure. Bogatha Waterfalls is a perfect visit for nature lovers looking for a quiet and scenic getaway.

The best time to visit here is rainy season, it is also known as Niagra falls of Telangana.Bogatha Waterfalls is one of the famous tourist sites in Jayashankar (Bhupalpally) District, it is situated near Chikupally Village in Wajedu Mandal. This beautiful waterfall is located in the dense forest which is 30 meters tall with a span of upto 200 meters across, dependent on the season, the water is collected into a large pool at the bottom of the falls. Swimming in the pool is a favorite activity.The area surrounding Bogatha waterfall is also a fantastic place for bird watching. There is a temple dedicated to Sri. Bhogadri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy adjacent to Bogatha Waterfalls. The upper part of the waterfalls can be reached from the temple.

Visited this place in September 2020 while things were getting a little settled after first covid wave. It's a 60 km drive from laknavaram lake, there's an entry ticket to this like it was around rs 60 per head. Covid was a difficult situation for everyone and it caused locals to believe that it will spread through water. So there was a restriction not to go near water during our visit, though the area is massive somehow there is no proper arrangement for parking. After entry you need to walk around 800 metres towards waterfall. There's a small dedicated temple along the bank, the sun was above our head's and it was so humid during our visit despite being September cannot imagine how it will be in summer's! There is not much to do here despite entry charges there is barely any chairs or place to sit. If you're nearby and feel there's a need to visit it's alright otherwise better invest your time elsewhere.

It was so crowded on a Friday evening. With a barricade and artificial pool for tourists, the beauty of the place is dampened. The road to the top of the falls is also blocked. The waterfall is beautiful and quite strong . As it's a popular place now, with an approach road, people will visit in big numbers but with the right infrastructure and planning, this place can be made better.

Bogatha is biggest waterfall in Telangana in volume of water and width of fall wise. Fall height is more in some other water falls like Kuntala waterfall, Adilabad District. It gives very beautiful look when water is fully flowing in rainy season. It is visible from main road also. We have visited on 21st December, 2023 but there was very lean flow and it was very disappointing. We expected full water flow based on the photographs of one week back Google map reviews. The reviews were mis guiding. Photos might have taken much earlier and review written last week. I request the reviewers to mention the date of visit while sharing photos so that the review should depict present situation.The water fall surroundings are much developed compared to earlier years. A pond is created for swimming and bathing of visiters. There is ample parking. Beautiful View points are constructed for watching waterfall. It is safe to visit waterfall with kids also. Lush green sorroundings are added attractions of the Waterfall.The visiters are requested to enquire about the availability of water flow in the fall to avoid disappointment. Overall itis worth seeing spot when there is a considerable water flow.

11 08 24WATERFALL SERIESBOGATHA WATERFALL, TELANGANAChekupelli, Vajedu Road, Chekupalli Rd, Koyaveerapuram G, Telangana 507136https://maps.app.goo.gl/uXk8EfKLUqGkCgvy5Bogatha Waterfall , aptly called the Niagara of Telangana, is a waterfall located on the Cheekupally stream, Wazeedu Mandal, Mulugu district, Telangana. It is located 120 kilometers from Bhadrachalam, 90 kms from Mulugu and 140 kms from Warangal and around 300-340 kms from HyderabadEven though water flows throughout the year, a good time to visit is between June and November (after the monsoon), when the most water flows.There is no road facility, so visitors have to trek for some distance to reach the waterfall.An old Laxmi Narsimha Temple sits atop a hill adjacent to the waterfalls.The area has been developed as a park with a small children play area with swings , a couple of watchtowers for a nice view of the falls, a toilet complex and a small area for people to enjoy a dip in the waters ( It was closed though when I visited on 11 08 24 in view of a fatal accident at the same place a couple of weeks before my visit )****Timings9 am-5 pmEntry fee ( 11 08 24 )30 per person50 parking charges per 4 wheeler

Now the water is muddy, wait for 2-3 days after the water may turn to a bit pure. Get your own food and swim materials... Main is driving water to drink

This is a very good tourist spot.They have maintained it well with kids play area and safe water pool and fencings. We need to just walk ~.5 km after the parking lot.We hope everyone will enjoy the visit and there are rooms for Changing and washing for the convenience of people.

The place was good but the scorching heat made it tiring. The waterfall is barricaded, so you cannot go and bathe near the waterfall but the water ahead is not barricaded and is being used as a pool. More benches and shades should be fit but otherwise the entry fee (Rs. 30) is worth it. The parking charges (Rs. 50) are very high as there is no designated parking and people just park randomly wherever their wish and the falls is still a walking distance of around 600-700 metres from the parking lot. Overall, the falls is worth visiting but I recommend the people to keep in mind the weather forecast before going there or else the heat will make it unenjoyable.

Undoubtedly one of the best water falls so far in the State Of Telangana.The mesmerizing road ways after crossing Warangal, greenery everywhere.Try to Visit on Week days If possible to avoid crowd.Must Visit in Rainy Season.

Bogatha waterfall is such a wonderfull place under the government circumstances.located in mulugu district well updated and constructed for family,friends,etc… visiting. Best time to visit july to october known as monsoon🍀. Great atmosphere and nice place for picnic spots very well precautions are been taken by rescue department canteen is also available inside the waterfall premisses.The ticket cost is only 20 per head(Adult),enough place for parking which is charged,go through my gallery uploaded must visit in Monsoon💛

Waterfalls: Mix of power and beauty.I have visited this Waterfall with a few of my friends, it was an amazing experience.The way the water flows, so free and easy and the waterfall is roaring like a jet. The views are amazing, you can spend some time capturing the waterfall from a safe distance.There is a swimming area with a marked safety zone. You can get into the water and have some fun once you are done capturing the waterfalls.One can spend some time relaxing or chatting with family/friends in the view point sitting area.Note: There is nominal entry fee for the waterfall and we need to park the vehicle and reach the waterfall by walking around 5 min. Please carry your food/snacks/water as there are very limited options.

The bogatha waterfall is gem of all waterfalls in Telangana, espresso if you visit in rainy season no other state water falls are better then this .

Definitely worth a visit and that too during monsoon or post monsoon. If you are driving from Hyd then post Warangal there is a big and beautiful stretch of forest area which gives a very soothing feeling.However taking a dip in the water is under forest department discretion. Probably considering the crowd or amount of waterflow they stop you from going inside water.I feel during non monsoon season the water flow will be extremely less but on the other hand less risky and higher chances of forest department allowing to go inside the water.

Nice place Indian Niagara FallsEntry fee per person 30/- two wheeler 20/- car50/-

The standout feature of Bogatha Waterfall is its size – it’s big, and it’s undeniably awesome. As the water plummets from great heights, it creates a mesmerizing display of power and grace. The sheer force of the cascading water is a sight to behold, and the refreshing mist that envelopes the area adds to the overall experience.One of the unique attractions near the waterfall is the small Laxmi Narasimha temple. It’s a place of serenity and spirituality, where visitors can find a moment of peace amidst the thundering sound of the falls.For those seeking relaxation, the pool area downstream from the waterfall offers a perfect spot to take a dip and cool off in the crystal-clear waters. It’s a refreshing and rejuvenating experience, especially on a hot day.The surrounding forest and natural attractions add to the allure of Bogatha. The lush greenery, coupled with the diverse flora and fauna, create an atmosphere of serenity and oneness with nature. It’s a paradise for nature enthusiasts and photographers.However, it’s worth noting that the maintenance of the park and facilities leaves much to be desired. The lack of proper upkeep can detract from the overall experience. Similarly, the parking area is not well-maintained, which can be a minor inconvenience.One downside to this otherwise pristine natural haven is the absence of good hotels and restaurants nearby. Visitors are advised to plan for their meals and accommodations in advance.

There is no water stream. Don't go here just expecting a Rainy season full waterfall view in mind. There's hardly anything to be spoken about about this waterfall in winter or summer. They should close this unit. The parking charges and entry fee are almost Rs 100. But you get nothing sadly once you complete the 800mts walk. Avoid it till the next rainy season.

Wonderful Waterfall place in Telangana.It feels like in the middle of the Forrest once we enter inside. Entry way is on road side only just 1min from main road.We can have good time.. Now food also available in Bogatha canteen near by parking. Food is good and biryani is amazing.Weekends are rush and good. Huge parking space is available. Good for trekking and feels good for weekend. Must visit place and worth it.

You need pay the entry fees before entering the waterfall. No shop's near by so you need to plan accordingly. For drinking water you need to come near to main gate. Safety is a concern. Less crowded area.

Bogatha Waterfall in Mulugu District is a nature lover's paradise. The cascading water, surrounded by lush greenery, creates a mesmerizing sight.

Good place..we have to walk around 500m to reach the place. for better experience try to visit in rainy season.

There was no waterfall but only ground water, when we went there. But it's a good place to explore

Niagara of Telangana - Well said!!!Heard some quite great reviews about this place and happened to visit this place with family just around the end of July.Firstly after entering the place you need u buy a ticket (common in most places) and you need to walk around a kilometre to get this place. The car ride to this place is awesome as you can see onion plantations on the sides of the road.This place has some small huts on the way through which you can climb and view the waterfalls from a far distance.This waterfalls is surreal. You get to view the entire stretch of the waterfalls and you can also visit the top end of the waterfalls from a nearby location. A must photography spot for photo lovers👌🏼Thumbs up for this place 👍🏼

Bogatha Waterfalls in Warangal is a must-visit for me. The safety measures ensure you can't go inside, which adds peace of mind. The view is stunning, especially during the rainy season. I'm in love with the scenery🤌🏻✅
