[nitin88]

Hyderabad to Maredumilli :

Distance : 475 kilometers

Drive: Skoda Rapid

Fuel:Diesel

Mileage:25.3 kmpl

Road Condition :Excellent 2-Lane roads

Drive time : 7hrs (excluding breaks)

Resort :Birds Nest Resort

 

Route:

Hyderabad ---> Suryapet---> Khammam---> Illandu ---> Bhadrachalam---> Maredumulli

 

Local places to visit/try:

 

• Waterfalls
• Maredumilli trecking
• Bamboo Chicken
• Rampavaram Project
   

Let me make it short and sweet story. I fell in love with this place for the first time when I visited in the last year. It was unexpected trip, as we were heading towards Hyderabad from Annavaram, one of my friend suggested to go through this route instead of typical 4 lane road [Annavaram -> Vjw -> Hyd].

 

I took this route with hesitation, but ended up following in love with this place. On that day, I decided to come back on rainy season, and you will know why this place is a MUST visit place during rainy season.

 

In short, Maredumilli is about Forest, Clean Waterfalls, Hiking, Bamboo Chicken and most importantly beautiful forest road from Bhadrachalam to Maredumilli.

 

Let's pic talk about the place now

Waterflow in the hills - Pure water which is running through hills and will merge into Godavari

Reason why you should drive down to this place during Monsoon

Night Drive to Bhadrachalam

Some random pics, I must say no pics can show the beauty of Nature

[nitin88]

I usually keep the best pictures hidden, so I would leave it up to your imagination how beautiful this place can be. Visit the place and experience it

Don't forget to Invite me if you are looking for someone to join the trip

Wonderful post nitin.This information will help a lot for the first timers like me.Personally I did not expect the place to be this better.

 

Your pictures include only maredumilli or you have covered some other places like Rampachodavaram, Sileru and Lambasingi?

[nitin88]

Its only maredumally and rampavaram. Lumbasingi and other places are different part which are not part of this trip

Very short and sweet. Your timing is perfect. Those clouds are too low.

My home town is very close to Rajamundry.

 

But still I did not cover this place.

 

I have under estimated this place.

 

How is the resort and how much did they charge per night.

Could you share the stay details too ... And you surely need to get tagged along when we drive down to this place the next time..

 

Will try covering that quadrilateral.

They have different type of cottages. According to them August, September is peak season where you hardly find slot. Because of some climate changes, the monsoon came very fast and I hit in the right time

[sharma]

Awesome pictures. The roads around the place really got better compared to my last drive to Maredumalli.. Next time when you venture out to Maredumalli, try to circuit around Lambasingi too..

You can always inquire about the weather from the local resorts. I would suggest to do it while it's cloudy or drizzling. Humidity can spoil you on sunny days

[Gowtham]

okay, Badrachalam is a better option, compared to Rajahmundry route.

Thank you for the update.

That's good update.

Even I had doubts about the safety issues in Maredumilli. It cleared many doubts in my mind.

Excellent effort to summarize about the less told forest in the southern region of India. I am planning to visit this place since ages but somehow its not happening. Your thread has just pushed the desire much more. This monsoon season its a must visit.
