Hyderabad to Ranganayaka Sagar reservoir - A short weekend getaway

[mit1682]

We were literally frustrated due to lockdown and were looking for a short drive in the month of June. Then we got information about safe location - Ranganayaka Sagar reservoir. I checked with my Baleno group BOCH ( Baleno Owners Club Hyderabad) and found one more couple for ride. We started from Hyderabad at 7 am and reached by 10 am. Being 100 km away from Hyderabad you will find less crowd on weekends. But if you really want to enjoy plan travel on weekdays.

 

Road condition from Hyderabad to Ranganayaka Sagar:

Roads are excellent till reservoir. Distance is around 115 km.

 

Time spent at Ranganayaka Sagar:

It is good location for relaxation and photography. We spend around 4 hours there, had our lunch and return back by 7PM in evening.

 

Best time to visit Ranganayaka Sagar:

Note: Best time to explore is early morning or late evening to witnesses sunrise and sunset.

 

Food availability at Ranganayaka Sagar:

Carry own food and water, you will find nothing around it.

 

Some of the important facts about Ranganayaka sagar reservoir:

• It is part of multi-stage lift Irrigation of Kaleshwaram
• Plan is to make Godavari river live through out the year over a stretch of 274 kilometers to make farming efficient.
• Provides irrigation

Ranganaya being at longer distance is less crowded. There are no restriction on entry so that you can move around reservoir. This is the only advantage it have.

It is not safe, water depth is unpredictable across most of the lakes in Telangana due to hilly terrain. 
I guess there are accessibility issues as well.

If you are looking for such options consider places which has flat surface.
