You can find doles that costs Rs 1200 per person. Carry camera, no mobile signal,road ????
I and my family walked about 4km inside the forest to visit the Ugra Nara simha swamy. Nearly we had spent 3.5 to 4 hrs time in Ahobilam. It's been 12:30,lunch time,we had taken our lunch near by hotel.

It's been 80km to yaganti ,on the way to yaganti you can see the Arundhathi movie building.
Yaganti was an small village.We reached yaganti at 4pm,had peaceful dharshan.
4. From Yaganti we had a drive to visit Belum caves distance of 45 km.On the journey we pass thru Oak dam.It's been nearly 6pm to reach caves,it got closed. From there we moved to Tadiparthi(30km) for my sister house for the night halt.
Day 2
1. Next day we had completed our breakfast and started our journey at 9am. First we went to visit Belum caves(nearly 30km).
Inside the belum caves.one of the narrow passage
Spent nearly 1.5hr inside the caves
2. From Belum caves we left to Alampur near Kurnool,nearly 180km. We had our lunch in kurnool and left to Alampur to visit famous sakthi peeth.
Had darshan to Devi and came back to Kurnool bus stand at 4pm. Since my parents had reservation bus ticket direct to Eluru at 9:45.They left to movie, i left to Hydeabad by bus.
Since the Driver was local he drives to the short roads. since most of the temples close by 1pm in the afternoon,plan yourself before temple close,complete your darshan, then only you move to lunch.
