Kurnool, a historic fort city on the Tungabhadra river, offers a glimpse into Andhra Pradesh's past. It served as the capital of the Andhra State from 1953 to 1956. You will find ancient forts, unique cave systems, and significant pilgrimage sites here.
Expect a mix of historical exploration and spiritual journeys. The city itself can be crowded and dusty, but the surrounding attractions are worth the effort. This destination is best suited for history buffs, pilgrims, and those seeking offbeat natural wonders.
