Hyderabad airport to Srisailam cab
Flying in for darshan? We pick you up at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport and drive you straight to Srisailam. Our office is in Shamshabad, so the airport is on our doorstep, and the fare is the same as from the city.
Hyderabad → Srisailam
Fare from the airport
Same as from anywhere in Hyderabad. Pick a car and the number of days.
Timing your flight
The airport is on the Srisailam side of the city, so you skip the city traffic. Even so, it’s four to five hours to Srisailam, and the forest road is usually closed from 9 PM to 6 AM.
Landing in the morning? You can reach Srisailam by afternoon, do darshan, and either come back the same day or stay the night.
Landing after about 2 PM? Book the 2-day trip, or stay near the airport and leave early the next morning. We won’t try to cross the forest late.
Send us your flight number and landing time when you book. Your driver’s name and number reach you on WhatsApp the evening before.

Questions people ask us
Is the fare from the airport different?
No. It’s ₹7,500 for a 1-day trip in a Dzire, ₹11,500 in an Innova and ₹13,500 in a Crysta, the same as from the city.
Can you drop us back at the airport after Srisailam?
Yes. Tell us your return flight time and we’ll plan the day so you’re back with time to spare.
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.
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.
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.
