The brief

By Rail: Markapur and other regional stations serve the wider area, but road transfer is needed to reach the hilltop town. By Road: Srisailam is reached by forest ghat roads from Hyderabad and Vijayawada; drives through the Nallamala reserve are long but scenic. By Private Fleet: MyTripMyTravel arranges chauffeured cars for the hill approach, temple visits and dam viewpoints, easing the long forest drive.
