There was a fort in this area belongs to one of the Telugu dynasties Pemmasani. It would be very nice, if this site would be visited either during sunrise or sunset, as the temperature in this regions touches 40 ☌ in the day time. The fort of Gandikota acquired its name due to the 'gorge' (in Telugu it is called 'gandi'), formed between the Erramala range of hills, also known as Gandikota hills and the river Pennar that flows at its foot, reducing its width to a mere 300 ft. This place is famous for the canyon which was renowned as Grand canyon of India. If anyone planning to visit Gandikota, make sure to book the rooms in advance because very less number of rooms available at the resort which should be filled during the weekends. Checked into the room which was very nice. For accommodation, there is only one resort of state tourism corporation Haritha Resorts and booked our room in advance. From Jammalamadugu, Gandikota is around 15 Kms, frequency of buses were very less between these two places during that time, we booked an auto to Gandikota, they charged Rs 400/. We have decided to reach Pulivendula and then reached Jammalamadugu by 10:30 PM. There is no direct transportation between Kadiri and Gandikota, need to reach Jammalamadugu then to Gandikota. If you're planning to visit both the places, then visit the tree first and then go for Darshnam after 5:30 PM.ĭarshnam completed for us by 6:30 PM. ![]() There was another attraction which around 25 Kms from this town, Thimmamma marrimanu, which was largest Banyan tree in the world spread around 4.5 acres.
