Sample itinerary: Ahobilam, Yaganti & Mahanandi
The three temples sit close together in the same belt, so most visitors cover all three in one trip rather than three separate journeys. Exact stop order and drive times between temples are confirmed on call once we know your preferred sequence and pace.
2-day circuit
Depart Hyderabad early morning, reach the first temple by afternoon. Cover all three temples across day one and the morning of day two, with an overnight halt near Nandyal. Return to Hyderabad by evening of day two. Best for travellers wanting a faster, focused pilgrimage trip.
3-day circuit
A more relaxed pace — one temple per day with time for the Ahobilam Upper Shrine trek, sightseeing around Yaganti's cave and Mahanandi's sacred pool, and two overnight halts. Better suited to families, senior citizens, or anyone wanting unhurried darshan at each stop.

Pickup locations
Pickup from anywhere in Hyderabad — the fare estimator above adjusts automatically based on your exact pickup point.
Vehicle for a multi-day circuit
Innova Crysta or Tempo Traveller recommended for 2-3 day circuits — more luggage space and a more comfortable ride than a sedan over multiple days.
History & significance
Ahobilam is sacred to Lord Narasimha in nine distinct forms spread across Upper and Lower Ahobilam in the Nallamala hills. Yaganti's Uma Maheswara temple is known for its slowly growing stone Nandi (bull) statue and a cave associated with the sage Agastya. Mahanandi's Nandeeswara Swamy temple features a perennial spring-fed sacred pool (Kalyani) with crystal-clear water flowing continuously through carved outlets — all three make for a compact, temple-dense circuit in one trip.
