    I have a small query , 1) I plan to travel alone on a weekday and would be reaching jammalamadugu (15kms away from gandhikota ) , do you have any idea what kind of transport is available till the fort and back (is transport easily available from gandhikota to nearby places ) .Im not interested in visiting belum caves ?? and do we need a guide to help get to the gorge ??
    thank you in advance 🙂

  6. Thanks for sharing such a valuable information..!! Just a question can we camp at Gandikota? Is it safe and allowed for camping?
    Thanks in advance 🙂

  7. Very well researched, detailed documentation. Impressive. We are travelling from Bengaluru by car so at to reach Gandikota by afternoon and stay for a day and proceed next day to Belum caves and afternoon head back to Bengaluru. I have few questions
    1) Can you suggest all Canyon view points that we must visit. This is our primary purpose. What time is best. I think we can do afternoon and next day morning also.
    2) Do you recommend talking a local guide or we can manage with info from hotel/Net. If you have contact of a guide, do pass along.
    3) Any other offbeat places if you recommended apart from fort etc.
    2) Preferred places to eat. We are staying in Harita hotel.

    Thank you in advance
    Regards,
