Door pickup
Karanja is about 1,040 km away, so this is a two day drive with a night in Hyderabad. The cab comes to your door at 5:30 am and takes NH44 north the whole first day, past Anantapur, Gooty, Kurnool and Jadcherla. Pack a separate overnight bag for the Hyderabad hotel, keep tea and biscuits in the car for the first three hours, and carry ID for every hotel check in. Breakfast is late, at Anantapur.

Late breakfast
Anantapur, about 215 km out, is a late breakfast after three and a half hours of driving. Uggani, spiced puffed rice, with mirchi bajji is the usual morning plate across this region, and it is hot with chilli; ask for idli if you prefer something milder. Anantapur is the driest district in Andhra Pradesh, so the land outside is bare and stony. After breakfast the cab rejoins the bypass. Gooty is about 50 km on.

Fort view
Gooty's ruined fort follows a ridge of bare granite above the highway, climbing to about 680 m, and the cab can slow for a photo without stopping. It was the seat of a Maratha general until Hyder Ali captured it after a long siege. At the town junction the Guntakal and Bellary road peels off to the west, while the family carries straight on north. Tadipatri and its old temples are about 52 km east, another trip. Kurnool is about 90 km ahead.

Lunch
Six hours from home, the family sits down to lunch in Kurnool, on the Tungabhadra, at a restaurant close to the highway; thirty minutes keeps the day on schedule. The city was the capital of Andhra State from 1953 to 1956. Families keeping Jain food rules should mention it while ordering. Leaving Kurnool, the cab crosses the Krishna bridge at Beechupally into Telangana, with Hyderabad and the night's hotel roughly 215 km ahead.

Tea
Late afternoon, the cab pauses for tea at Jadcherla, a Telangana town about 86 km short of Hyderabad where NH167 meets the national highway. Fifteen minutes is enough for chai and a restroom. Families curious about old trees can note Pillalamarri, a vast banyan near Mahabubnagar some 21 km away, for the drive back. The last 100 km to the city slow down near Shamshabad in the evening, so ring the hotel with an arrival time.

Night in the city
Day one ends in Hyderabad, about 570 km from Bangalore. The cab drops you at the hotel and the driver rests. If you stay on the north side, the next morning starts faster, since the road to Nizamabad leaves the city that way; the Outer Ring Road links round to it from Shamshabad. For dinner, Hyderabadi dum biryani and haleem are the city's dishes; vegetarian thalis are everywhere too. Leave at about six for the second day.

Breakfast
Kamareddy, a district headquarters on NH44 about 110 km north of Hyderabad, is the breakfast stop on day two. The cab is well clear of the city traffic by now, and breakfast here takes twenty minutes. Nizamabad is only about 55 km further north on the same highway. From Kamareddy the route still has about 350 km to Karanja, through Nizamabad, Nanded and Washim, so a full meal now helps.

Through Nizamabad
Nizamabad, once called Induru, is a large Telangana city; its name means the City of the Nizam. The cab usually passes without stopping. On a hill about 2 km from Gandhi Chowk stands the Nizamabad fort, built by the Rashtrakutas in the 10th century, with the Qilla Ramalayam temple on top, for another trip. From Nizamabad the route leaves the Hyderabad highway for Maharashtra. Nanded is about 110 km on.

Lunch
Nanded, on the Godavari in Maharashtra, is the lunch stop on day two. Old Nanded lies north of the river and New Nanded south of it. The city is home to Hazur Sahib, one of the five takhts of Sikhism, where Guru Gobind Singh died; the gurdwara was built between 1832 and 1837. A family can visit for half an hour after lunch if time allows. Karanja is about 185 km on, around four hours.

Last town
Washim, about 60 km short of Karanja, is the last town on the route and a ten minute tea halt for the cab. Among its sights is the Padmatirtha tank, an old temple tank at the heart of the town, and a family with a spare half hour on the way home can see it. Fuel up here if the tank is low, because the road beyond is quieter. From Washim the drive to Karanja takes a little over an hour.

Up to the temple lane
About nineteen hours of driving over two days. Karanja, also called Karanja Lad and named after Saint Karanj, is a small old town, and the lanes near the temples are narrow, so the cab drops you as close as it can and parks nearby. The town is holy to Hindus, Jains and Muslims alike, and it is the birthplace of Shri Narasimha Saraswati. Book rooms near the temples in advance, since the town has few hotels.

Innova Crysta. All cars are on cab rental in Bangalore.
We keep a night halt. A driver who has slept is safer on a 1,000 km road.
Yes, it is on the way. The driver waits while you visit.
April and May are very hot on the whole route, from Anantapur and Kurnool to the plains of Telangana and Maharashtra. The cab is air conditioned, so the drive is fine, but halts at midday are tiring. Start at 5:30 am each day and plan temple visits for early morning and evening. November to February is easiest.
Yes, with planning. Each day has about nine to ten hours of driving, with halts every two hours, and the night in Hyderabad lets everyone rest. Carry snacks, water and simple food, because the cooking on the Andhra stretch is very hot. Seat a child who gets car sick by a window.
