Srisailam - a unique combination of forest sanctuary and pilgrimage town, makes a refreshing weekend break from Hyderabad. The River Krishna carves a deep gorge through the woods of the Nallamalai Hills, and leaves in its wake a lush forest that is home to India's largest tiger reserve. The reserve is huge - 3568 sq km - spread over five districts in Andhra Pradesh.
Mahanandi - Mahanandi is 320 km. from Hyderabad and 16 km. from Nandyal. Mahanandi, one of the Nava Nandis in the country, is situated in the thick forests of Nallamalai hills, Nandyal taluk of Kurnool District. The temple here is dedicated to Sri Mahanandiswara Swamy in the form of a Linga.
The outstanding feature in Mahanandi temple is the crystalline water which flows throughout the year from five perennial springs.The water is so abundant that about 1000 acres of banana plantations are irrigated with these springs alone.
Mantralayam - Madhwa Saint Sri Raghavendra attained his Samadhi at Mantralayam near Kurnool some 300 years ago. A large number of followers and devotees of all religious sects throng this little town located on the banks of river Tungabhadra all through the year.
