One day while scrolling through Instagram, I came across a reel where a rishi was speaking about an ancient Shiva temple in Telangana. He mentioned Kolanupaka and talked about its connection with five Peethas, five Gotras and five Ganas.
And sometimes you ride 151 km to Ullipitta Waterfall, cross roads soaked by heavy rain, enjoy some of the best green scenery of the journey and finally reach the destination only to discover one problem.
Lingana Fort was not simply another weekend trek for me. It was the first journey that tested my confidence, introduced me to climbing and rappelling, and changed the way I thought about travelling after completing my bachelor’s degree.
The rainy season had not been behaving the way I expected, and I wasn’t sure whether Pochera water falls would have enough water to make the long ride worthwhile.
This trip gave me everything I enjoy about weekend travel: a morning bike ride, a powerful Shiva darshan, beautiful Kakatiya carvings, peaceful surroundings and an unexpected stop at Ramappa Lake.
What started as a short visit to Warangal Fort Telangana eventually became a complete one-day journey covering history, a small hill trek, a lakeside garden and an unexpected ride to Pakhal Lake.
Sarangapur Hanuman Temple and Dichpalli Ramalayam are two important devotional places near Nizamabad that can be comfortably combined into one road trip.
If you are planning to visit Bhadrakali Temple Warangal, this guide is more than just another temple article. It is my complete one-day motorcycle journey from Karimnagar
