Hyderabad to Laknavaram

 

Hello All,

This is my first post, so please bear with me, if there are any mistakes.

 

Distance :  210 Kms

Drive time :  5 Hours (Including Breaks)

Vehicle Used :  Tata Winger Office Cab ()

Starting Point: Uppal

End Point: Haritha Resorts Laknavaram Island

Accommodation: Rs 2500/- for Couple with 2 Kids (but still you can manage if extra person) 
Telangana tourism Laknavaram Lake view resort.

 

Link to book Accomadation: http://www.harithahotel.com/Laknavaram-Lake/

 

Route Taken:

Uppal--->Bibinagar---->Bhongir---->Yadadri--->Jangoan--->Ghanpur--->Kazipet--->Hanmakonda--->Arepally--->Mulugu--->Laknavaram

 

 

• We have planned this tour almost a month back..(or else I would have joined for Breakfast ride to Rachakonda)

 

• Actually, we decided to go in 2 cars ( my Vitara Brezza & my brother's Honda Amaze). But last minute change of plans due to Honda engine radiator problem. We decided to cancel the trip, but we made a decent deal with our office cabbie.

 

• Started at 11 AM in the morning after having breakfast.

 

• Refueled the cab at Uppal HP Service Station until it choked (This pump is operated by Prisons Dept) 

 

• I am a nature lover, so I have told my mom to prepare food so that we can have it under a nice shady tree on the Highway.

 

• It started off to be a foggy day and we encountered all varieties of climate like rainy, summer heat and winter cold etc

 

• The road till Yadagirigutta is awesome and the ride was good but after crossing Yadagirigutta, the road turns out to be single lane due to expansion work in progress. Road condition was average.

 

• Crossed Hanmakonda by 1:30 pm and our tummies were banging for food (normally when we do long journeys we tend to crave for food)

 

Let the pictures talk the rest.

 

Greenery along the highway.

 

A glimpse of Bhongiri fort from the highway.

 

Closer shot.

Cotton plantation en-route.

 

Accommodation is beautiful, given a chance I can stay here for months. 

 

Lunch time.

 

We had lunch surrounded by nature. The feeling that you will not experience in the corporate hotels.

 

Breath taking view from the room, Surrounded by hillocks and water, for a second you get a feel of ooty/Kodai.

 

We did boating and some water games.

 

Good to see that safety jackets are mandatory.

 

Fun games near less shallow areas.

 

The famous Laknavaram bridge.

I always say that the times in my life when I've been happiest are the times when I've seen the sunset ---

 

View on the next morning.

 

We explored the lake.

 

Island in the lake.

 

Dense forest and newly laid roads.

 

Surrounded by trees.

Temple time.

 

Thank you.

Hi Shammy,

 

I havent found any package for water games there but the prices are like for 

 

Speedboat:   300/- for 4 persons

 

Kayak : 300/- for each person(not recommended as waste of money)

 

Floating ring:  60/- for each person( 3 persons allowed)

 

Tea in Haritha resort hotel is 13/- which is very nice & hotel offers a panoromic of lush green hills

 

This is place is vey beautiful and very prestine, you get a feeling of like staying in Ooty or Kodai...but plan it after rainy seasons as in the summer most of the lake will be dried up.....

These are recently started Shammy, when I have gone there for my birthday in August 2016 the Island accommodation was still under construction and water games were yet to start! Place looks good now with all this sorted. Will have to go back to explore more of this new island accommodation!

Avoid Laknavaram during long weekends and Holiday season.

It is over crowded, not worth it.

I went there on August 15th.

Faced high amount of crowd.

 

Place is excellent, but plan accordingly. 

Go during a week day, you will love it.

Please avoid it during Dussehra.

It is very over crowded. 

 

Weekends and fine, but as uday suggested, week days is the best time to visit.

Yes. Very crowded on all weekends as well. Dificult to exit from there. I experienced it. I went there 10+ times.

[ksa171983]

thanks @uday@Ranger@sahil ..

I wont go during dassara . will keep this destination on cards for weekdays ..

[sahil]

I like the drove from Warangal - eturunagaram - Manuguru - Bhadrachalam..
It goes via forest in many stretches.

we can visit places near by like Ramappa, laknavaram, Tadvai forest, bogatha falls, muthyaladara falls etc...from Bhadrachalam you can go to seeleru, Maredumilli
