Night camping at Nandi Hills from Hyderabad (2 days / 1 night)

 Nandi Hills (Anglicised forms include Nandidurg and Nandydoorg) is an ancient hill fortress built by Ganga Dynasty and later enlarged and strengthened by Tipu Sultan in southern India, in the Chikkaballapur district of Karnataka state. It is located at a distance of 539Km from Hyderabad.  If you have a scooter then also you can manage to go by your vehicle. But just remember you have to take 15 minutes to break for every on average of 80km (depending on the capacity of the scooter). So, let's plan our Hampi trip for Night camping.

Weekend trip to Tirupathi and Kishkindha (Hampi) from Hyderabad in 3 days and 2 nights

We have been planning to go to Kishkindha (Hampi) since December 2019. We have planned to go during Ugadi in 2020, which was lost in the first lockdown. Finally, Lord Hanuman called us to visit his birthplace in December 2021. Initially, we planned to go on a road trip to Hampi from Hyderabad. But due to the blessings of Lord Venkateswara, we got Rs.300/- Darshan along with APSRTC bus tickets on the same day when we had planned to leave from Hyderabad. Due to fewer leaves during the weekend, our planning continued as follows:   Day 0: We have left Hyderabad by Garuda bus (APSRTC) by 20:30 from the Aramghar crossroads.   Day 1:   After reaching Tirupathi, we took a room in Srinivasam Complex and got freshened up. We booked a car to roam us around Tirupathi and Tirumala. Then we reached Tirumala by 8:00 am and had Darshan of Lord Venkateswara. After Darshan we had our lunch at Annadanam (Vengamamba annadana satram).   After lunch, by 13:30, we left for Tirumala an...
