The brief
To reach Belum Caves, Andhra Pradesh: By Air: Kurnool (Orvakal) is the nearest airport, with Bengaluru and Hyderabad as wider gateways linked by longer road transfers.

By Road: The caves sit in rural Nandyal district and are reached by road from Tadipatri, often on a loop with Gandikota. By Private Fleet: Our air-conditioned fleet manages the rural distances and pairs Belum Caves with Gandikota on a single escorted circuit.
