Rayalaseema Heritage — Lepakshi, Penukonda & Mantralayam, 6 Days
Rayalaseema, the dry inland south of Andhra Pradesh, holds some of the finest and least-visited Vijayanagara monuments in India. This six-day route covers Lepakshi’s Veerabhadra temple with its hanging pillar, the Penukonda fort and Gagan Mahal, the Kurnool fort, the Mahanandi temple with its perennial springs, and the Raghavendra Swamy brindavanam at Mantralayam. Almost nothing here is on the tourist map.
