Srisailam
How far is Srisailam from Hyderabad?
250+ km by road. It takes four to five hours each way, depending on traffic leaving the city and how long you stop for breakfast.
Can we drive back at night?
Not through the forest. The ghat road is usually closed from 9 PM to 6 AM, except around Maha Shivaratri. That’s why we start back from Srisailam by about 4 PM on day trips.
Can you pick us up from Shamshabad airport?
Yes. Our office is in Shamshabad, and the fare from the airport is the same as from the city.
Do you have cabs in Srisailam for local sightseeing?
No. Every trip starts in Hyderabad, and the same car and driver stay with you for the whole trip, including the sightseeing in Srisailam.
Is Srisailam a one day trip from Hyderabad?
It can be, if you start by 5 AM and the darshan queue is normal. On busy days, or with elders or small children, the 2-day trip is far more comfortable.
When will I know who’s driving?
You’ll get the driver’s name, number and car number on WhatsApp before 8 PM the day before. The driver calls you when they reach your pickup.
Can we add another temple on the way?
Tell us where on WhatsApp and we’ll give you a price. Extra stops off the route change the distance, so they aren’t in the standard fare.
