Overview

On this Pochampally Yadadri 3 day tour you sleep first in Pochampally, a Telangana village known for ikat cloth, then in Yadagirigutta (Yadadri), home to the Lakshmi Narasimha hill shrine. Your private car collects you at Hyderabad airport and returns you there on Day 3. The cooler months run from mid October to February.

Who it suits

Textile lovers, pilgrims and slow travellers who want little driving; not for anyone after city sights or a packed schedule

Good to know

Looms

Pochampally is best seen on a normal working day, when the looms are in use

Temple crowds

Yadagirigutta is busiest on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, so a weekday visit is calmer

Dress

Dress modestly for the temple and carry shoes that slip off easily

Departure flight

Day 3 includes a drive of about 2 hours to the airport, so an afternoon or later flight fits best
