Hyderabad to Srisailam cab.

Approximately 215 km, a drive of about 5–6 hrs depending on traffic, weather and the stops you make. That's measured city centre to city centre — a pickup from a temple, hospital or suburb on the far side of either city adds to it, so tell us your exact address and we'll confirm the real distance.

NH-765, passing through Amangal, Kalwakurthy, Achampet, Mannanur. Four-lane as far as Kalwakurthy, then the Nallamala forest and the ghat descent to the dam — sharp bends and a slower second half. The forest stretch past Mannanur closes overnight, so this is a daylight drive.

Swift Dzire (Sedan, 4 seats) at ₹12/km, about ₹3,600; Maruti Ertiga (Compact, 6 seats) at ₹14/km, about ₹4,200; Toyota Innova (SUV, 7 seats) at ₹18/km, about ₹5,400; Tempo Traveller (Tempo Traveller, 12 seats) at ₹24/km, about ₹7,200. This route is about 215 km and is charged per kilometre with a minimum of 300 km a day, so those are estimates for roughly 1 day. Tolls, State tax, Driver allowance are billed on top at actuals, and the total is agreed on WhatsApp before you travel.

Yes — Hyderabad to Srisailam can be booked one-way or as a round trip. Tell us which on WhatsApp and the quote reflects it. A one-way drop is charged on the route distance only, with no charge for the empty return.

The NH-765 run into Srisailam has a ghat section, so it takes longer than 215 km suggests — build that into the start time rather than the car. That fits inside a single day's 300 km, so a Swift Dzire handles it for four and the car is back the same night; six means an Ertiga, seven an Innova, and a Tempo Traveller above that. All of them come with an experienced local driver.

Rajiv Gandhi International sits on the southern edge of Hyderabad — the same side the Srisailam road leaves from, so a pickup at arrivals does not mean crossing the city first. It is how most devotees flying in from out of state make this trip: land, meet the driver, and go. Send the flight number and terminal when you book so the fare is quoted from the airport rather than from a city address, and message us when you have landed.

One of the twelve Jyotirlingas, and far enough from anywhere that almost nobody arrives without a car waiting. The driver stays at the temple through the darshan and the trip is quoted as a return from the start, because there is no practical way to find a ride back.

Most people take in the Srisailam dam and the ghat viewpoints on the same trip. They are short stops on the way rather than a detour, so tell the driver at the start and he builds them in instead of turning back for them.

Most drivers break around Kalwakurthy, roughly halfway between Hyderabad and Srisailam. The road passes Amangal, Kalwakurthy, Achampet, Mannanur, so you can stop wherever suits — tell the driver and he will plan the halt around it.

Anywhere in Hyderabad — the car comes to your address. The points people ask for most are Rajiv Gandhi Intl Airport (RGIA), Secunderabad Railway Station, Nizampet, Hitec City, Gachibowli, LB Nagar. Airport and railway station pickups are normal, so tell us the terminal or platform side and the driver waits there rather than calling you from the wrong gate. Send the exact address on WhatsApp and we will confirm it with the fare.
