Weekend getaways from Hyderabad: 5 places for a perfect 2-day trip

Hyderabad can get pretty chaotic with the increasing traffic and strict schedules to adhere to. If you’re feeling the winter blues and a movie just doesn’t cut it anymore, here are 5 weekend getaways from Hyderabad to charge up your spirits.

Weekend getaways from Hyderabad:

#1 Kuntala Falls(Adilabad) – 260 km from Hyderabad

Fantasized about frolicking under a waterfall after watching Bahubali? Kuntala happens to be just 260 kilometers away from the city and even has the Sivaram Wildlife sanctuary at less than 100 km away. If you’re a daredevil and love extreme weather conditions, temperatures at Adilabad drop to zero degrees on some nights.

#2 Warangal – 145 km from the town

Warangal is a beautiful temple town that speaks of the Kakatiya dynasty’s yesteryear grandeur. Come here to witness the architectural marvel – the Thousand Pillar Temple and other stone archways all around town to get a glimpse of the years gone by. It’s just a two-hour drive from the city and it can be a one day trip too.

#3 Nagarjuna Sagar – 153 km from Hyderabad

A favourite among locals – did you know that there’s a museum at the Nagarjuna Sagar? That’s right – you don’t have to reserve your visit for when the dam gates are opened. Simply head here for stunning views of the serene Krishna River and a lesson in Buddhist history. You can find rare artifacts of ancient Buddhist relevance here.

#4 Hampi – 378 km from Hyderabad

Hampi is a quaint town that gives you a much-needed escape. Simply book a stay at one of their rustic shacks, and count the stars!

#5 Medak – 100 km from the town
