Hyderabad to Kurnool highway, exploring NH44

[varunc]

Sunday morning weather turned out to be fantastic.
We decided to go on a short drive for lunch.

We picked Drive-inn dhaba in Jadcharla, food turned out to be bad. 
Drive was excellent. Nothing can beat Hyderabad-Bangalore highway in terms of road quality. 

 

Traffic has increased a lot between Hyderabad to Kurnool section.
If you want to enjoy the drive on this road, early morning start is a must.

Nice Photo log Varunc.

It is sad to see fast-tag lanes are blocked by regular commuters. 
What is the point of introducing fast-tag, If the lanes are blocked. 

 

Food pyramid is my new favorite. Previously it used to be Hill park.
Now the maintenance of Hill park is completely bad.

Black EcoSport looks fantastic.

 

Regarding food options:

Hotel Suraj grand is always my favorite.

Food quality and taste always consistent.

Hill Park biryani used to be good.

Overall food quality is good at Food Pyramid.

Finally your black mamba does some running.. It looks absolutely fantastic varun. Wishing you more miles ahead. Also, in your thread I was quite surprised to see the quality of food being bad at Hill park. Usually the food there is good and may be you just had a bad day

Nothing much in Kurnool, I would suggest you to visit Srisailam.
New roads are excellent. If the weather is cloudy drive will be excellent. 

Last weekend we drove till Dindi Reservoir.

You can try the Gandikota gorge, Belum caves and Orvakal natural rock formations on the Kurnool side. Gandikota is beautiful with suitable accommodation by HAritha resorts. You need to book the accommodation in advance.

You can check out the links below for more information on this.

• Hill Park Drive-inn
• M food court
• Food Pyramid
• Hotel Suraj Grand
• Blue moon Highway restaurant

All the above listed hotels are good for breakfast, they have neat wash rooms too.
If you are starting at 5AM,  Hill park may be closed.
Aim for food Pyramid.

If the above hotels are closed(they usuallu open at 7am), Hotel Suraj grand at kurnool is your best bet.
Food is very nice.
