It is a must-visit spot. For the travellers who are interested in trekking it is one of the best places. It takes about 2 hours to reach the pinnacle of the fort, if one treks by enjoying the beautiful scenery in and around the fort and down the hills on which the fort is located. It is located at a common point on NH44 and NH67. It can be reached either from Anantapur or Kurnool by road. It takes about half day (including travel and trekking).

This time once again i went to veerapuram bird sanctaury which is around 14km from bagepalli busstand.I hired an auto for 350 and went in the route of yellode.From the main road we need to ride for 1 km at the sign board.This time no birds at veerapuram village but villagers suggested us to go to venkatapuram which is 1km away as lot of birds nested on the trees there.We headed towards venkatapuram village and observed lot of painted storks on the trees which are busy in building nests for breeding.I roamed around the village and saw lot of painted storks on the trees and there is a lake near to these trees where you can find other category of birds like open bill stork,ibis,different kinds of ducks etc.On the whole it is very nice experience for me to visit this bird sanctuary

Penukonda was once filled in as the second capital of Vijayanagar Kingdom after the fall of Hampi and was before called as Ghanagiri or Ghanadri. As indicated by the engravings, the Penukonda state was talented by the King Bukka-I to his child Virupanna. This post was worked at the season of Virupanna. This fortification was a standout amongst other resistances of the Vijayanagara kingdom. With the decrease of Vijayanagara kingdom, the Sultan of Golconda caught this post. Later Mysore Kingdom caught this stronghold quickly until the point that British surpassed after the fall of Tipu Sultan. Based on a huge slope, the enormous and forcing fortification offers a terrific perspective of the town underneath. The storm cellar of the dividers, bastions and doors in the post was made of stone, mortar and lime. The primary internal segment of the fortification private building planned conveniences for regal relatives. Vault of this lobby has been planned in Hindu style of development, though the floor has the mark style development of Islamic engineering.

A huge sculpture mounted on a rocky hill at the entrance of Lepakshi village. A visit in the early hours when the sun is not high is advised. The visit in late January at about 9 am was a pleasant experience. Located about 125 km from Bengaluru its a comfortable two and a half drive. Its a park seems to have been established recently (few years). A combined visit to the nearby Veerabadhra temple makes it a good one day getaway from Bengaluru. It is an amazing place for those who are interested in ancient history and architecture. A karnataka tourism hotel, Hatitha at the entrance of the village provides decent choice of food.
