Best Weekend Getaway from Hyderabad SOMASILA

Me & my batch we love to travel and we always roaming in the city without any plan almost we covered all places in the city ..,recently we visited Ananthagiri Hills its was just amazing place.,, this time we decided to go out & little bit far from city & we planed especially for Trekking

We started from Hyderabad around morning 8:00 am. After finishing our breakfast, we started for Panagal, We reached to wanaparthy around 11 am.. from their Panagal is 15 Km ,we stopped our car at Beautiful Place its Environment is full of Greenery, we spent their 30 min. we enjoyed the fresh air & Green fields , we had Selfie Session and again we started our journey to Panagal by following the Google map and asking the local people (one of craziest & Adventures part of this outing is we did not know the routes, we just followed the Google Maps & asking the Local People, in some areas there was no signal to show the routes at the same time there was no local people to suggest the routes, you just imagine what’s your feeling if you are In that situation….) finally we reached to PANAGAL at 12:15 pm.

Pangal Fort is one of the Famous Hill Forts in Telangana. It was built by Kalyani Chalukya Kings during 11th and 12th Centuries. The fort is spread across hundreds of acres with Seven Gateways. The Main entrance is called as Mundlagavini and is a special attraction of this fort. It was built with huge granite rocks. The ruins of the fort houses several monuments built with beautiful architecture, including Uyyala Mandapam and several water bodies.

But the local People said there is nothing more to Explore ,only one temple and water well & Uyyala Mandapam from the peak we could see around fields and place, but we had to trek for a long time almost 4 hrs. ,we disappointed there & we decided not to waste time we just googled any better places to explore by near …, Google said YES of course you have beautiful place to Explore… 100 No 1000 times better than Panagal fort that is SOMASILA ….

So total plan changed, from there we started our journey to SOMASILA by short cuts on the way we stopped our vehicle at Singotam (Singotam also called as Singapatnam is famous for the historic Sri Laxmi Narasimhaswamy temple, constructed 400 years back by the Jetaprolu Samsthana Kings of Surabhi dynasty.The temple is built on the bank of Singasamudram, a gigantic water reservoir spread across more than 10 kilometers area. ) we visited Lakshmi Narasimha Swami Temple and we explored the beautiful reservoir and famous for fishing contract..

Besides the reservoir, there is a small hillock, popularly known as Ratnagiri from the small peak we can see the around area and reservoir., where one small and old guesthouse is there, it has a magical view points. Really its a small but you can see the beautiful creature at that place, its have 3 view points from 1st view point you can see the Green Fields and hills, 2nd View point you can see the Reservoir and from 3rd you can see the Temple.
