Hyderabad - Karimnagar - Vemulawada - Kondagattu - Dharmapuri

[vinz]

Hello!

 

I am planning for a leisure pilgrimage trip to Vemulawada, Kondagattu and Dharmapuri from Hyderabad with family for this weekend.

The plan is: 

Day 01: To reach Karimnagar by noon on Saturday, rest for sometime and then start for Vemulawada around 3:30 PM. Come back to hotel in Karimnagar by 8:30 PM - spend the night

Day 02: Start around 8 AM and visit Kondagattu and Dharmapuri. Return to Hotel in Karimnagar for lunch. Rest for sometime and then start back. Should reach Hyd by 8PM for another commitment

 

My queries:

1. How is the road from Karimnagar to Vemulawada (can it be done in 45/60 mins)

2. Road condition from Vemulawada to Kondagattu (just in case we plan to cover Kondagattu on saturday itself)

3. Which route is better from Dharmapuri to Karimnagar - is it SH7 (via Dharmaram) or via Jagitial (I plan to take this route in the onward journey as Kondagattu is enroute)

4. Best hotel in Karimnagar for a comfortable stay as I will have 3 senior citizens + my 1 yr old daughter with me

5. Any suggestions on restaurants in Karimnagar will also help please

 

Thanks in advance!

Happy Driving to all the enthusiasts in the forum.

Karimnagar to vemulawada road is average, you can do it in 1 hour.

This will also take another one hour easily, but it is better to avoid and go via Jagitial on the very next day.

Hotel Pramita and Swetha both are good, we stayed at Pramita few months back, it is decent enough.

Both Pramita and Swetha has their own restaurants which are good.

 

Day1
Hyderabad to Karimnagar
Road condition is good, 80% is 4-lane and the last stretch is single lane.
You can easily do it in under 4 hours with breaks.

If you have time take a quick stop at Karimnagar dam. It is a decent place to explore.

Visit Vemulawada and retire for the day.

Day2

Karimnagar to Dharmapuri
Start early in the morning by 5:30am, take the following route

Karimnagar --> Kondagattu --> Jagital --> Dharmapuri

Road is single lane and decent. Whole stretch can be covered under 2 hours, excluding breaks.
Drive back home via Karimnagar, don't take Armoor route.
As you are going with elderly persons would suggest you not to checkout the accommodation, Come back to Karminagar by 11AM, take a break and check out the accommodation.

 

Drive Safe. All the best, Update us back once you are don with the trip.
