Route Covered
Overnight stops in day orderOverview
This 3-day Alampur tour from Hyderabad visits the Navabrahma temples, nine Chalukya shrines in Jogulamba Gadwal district, Telangana. You spend one night in Hyderabad and one in Alampur, with a private car and driver. It suits history and temple lovers who accept two drives of over four hours; go from mid October to February.
