Kurnool to Mantralayam Road Condition

[vinz]

Hi!

 

I am planning for a Kurnool and Mantralayam trip next weekend so any inputs on the below would really help:

a. Route to take between Kurnool and Mantralayam and the road condition

b. Places to visit in Kurnool since I will be staying there for 2 days

 

Thanks in advance.

All the roads from Kurnool to Mantralayam are bad.

So it doesn't matter which road you take.
I tried two routes, both are equally good and bad. No change in the drive time.

Just follow the google maps.

Would suggest you to book Nallamalai Jungle camps.

If you don't have time, you can call them and check for Safari, just for fun.

There won't be any major spotting of animals.

Check the below links

1. Nallamalai forest camp

2. Orvakal rock garden

3. Gandikota

4. Belum Caves

Hey @vinz, Amongst both the bad roads between Kurnool and Mantralayam, I would like to suggest you the better route from the available options. I would recommend you to take the route via Kodumur and Yemigannur. This route is a little longer by 20 kms compared to the route via kothakota but saves atleast 30 mins of your travel time.

 

I have been to Yemigannur for a friends wedding 2 weeks ago and roads are pretty decent.

 

You can refer to the links shared by @Ranger for the places to visit in Kurnool.

Places to visit in Kurnool

There are so many places in and around Kurnool for a quick drive

1. Yaganti
2. Pillalamarri
3. Belum Caves
4. Orvakal Rock Garden
5. Rollapadu Wildlife Sanctuary (This is more of a Bird Sanctuary)
6. Alampur Temple
7. Ahobilam (This is a little far at about 130+ kilometers from Kurnool)
8. Adone Fort (This would be about ~100 kilometers from Kurnool)
9. Mahanandi (This can be done along with Ahobilam at a single stretch)
10. Konda Reddy Burj and Birla Mandir within Kurnool
11. Abdul Wahab Tombs

Hope this helps

Thanks @Ranger

 

@sagar: Thanks much for the suggestions. I will take the route via Kodumur and Yemigannur and post an update.

 

@Sridhar Tandra: Thanks a ton.. I will be covering Alampur on my way to Kurnool apart from that did not have any other plans to drive to places around Kurnool so your suggestion around Birla Mandir really helps

All the best for your drive.
Do share some pictures, when you are done with the drive.

 

Drive safe.
