I went to Belum Caves. A depth in advance of three thousand meters, Belum Caves goes as deep as 46 meters at one point inside the cave, which is known as Pataalaganga. A mysterious underground stream flows all year at this point, gliding over the rocks and hiding beneath the surface again. It is great place to go.

Most of the accommodation over there are basic and don't expect resort and luxury style. Roads are good till gooty and futher deteriorates till yemigiri. We left Mantralayam around 5AM and reached here by 11AM.

5. Mahanandi Temple

Reviewed By Padcee - Bengaluru, India
It is around 20 Kms form Nandyal city. It is best to have your own transportation to visit the place. You will be surprised to see few natural water tanks build and well maintained by the temple. Most of the visitors take dip in this water, surprisingly clean. Again the temple is crowded, so you have to buy a ticket for RS.100 to have a peaceful darshan. If you prefer to make a free darshan, it is very time consuming, not recomended if you have limited time.
