Hyderabad to Nagpur and some hidden treasures en route - 11th day of our 14 days long trip through east coast of India || Noida to Rameshwaram

After bidding goodbye to Akash and Ashita, we headed off toward Nagpur early morning a little later than what had become our habit during our 14-day long road trip from Noida to Rameshwaram and back via Eastern Ghats. In order to make the journey rewarding, we had made it a practice to search for and explore interesting places en ruite. On the way to Nagpur as well, we made several rejuvenating stops near Adilabad.

In order to make the journey rewarding, we had made it a practice to search for and explore interesting places en ruite. On the way to Nagpur as well, we made several rejuvenating stops near Adilabad. 

The first stop we made was at Medak for Medak Fort. When we got there, we discovered that the fort road was under construction and there was no other way to it. However the CSI Medak Cathedral was open and we visited that. After some initial confusion about whether or not we were allowed to carry a camera inside, we were able to explore the cathedral. It was a beautiful church built in Gothic style, with lush green grounds. Upon exploring it, our moods improved considerably.

At a shop near the Cathedral, we replenished our stocks of wet tissues and sunscreen. Right next to the chemist, we found a little restuarant. It was here that we had a really tasty dosa. The restaurant owner was a cheerful, generous guy and since we were the only "tourists" at his restaurant, he paid us special attention. However, this was also our last dosa of this trip, and we kept thinking of these beautiful idlis and dosas all through our remaining journey.

Next, we headed to Pochera Waterfalls near Adilabad, which was peaceful and beautiful and the some good food for our souls. The falls are formed when Kadam River, a tributary of the Godavari River, cascades from a height of 20 metres. It is surrounded by lush greenery and dense forests, making it a picturesque location. The falls also have a bustling population of monkeys. Though they let us be while we were there, we recommend care.

We also stopped briefly at Sriram Sagar Dam to take a break. Sriram Sagar Dam, also known as Pochampadu Dam, is a major irrigation project located on the Godavari River in the Nizamabad district of the Indian state of Telangana. It is one of the oldest and largest dams in the state and serves multiple purposes, including irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, and flood control.

We reached Nagpur in the evening and decided to explore the two important lakes in the city. The Ambazari Lake was closed for renovations, but the Futala lake was open. We clicked some pictures of its amazing lights and then headed off to find a hotel. Some of the good hotels that we had located had no vacancy. Apparently the assembly is now in Nagpur so many hotels were booked by them. After driving through the city for a couple of hours, we managed to find an acceptable hotel and checked in at about 9:30 PM.

On Day 3, when we landed in Madanapalle, Andhra Pradesh, after a really long drive and some last minute change in plans, we were really tired. And then we were also not sure whether the hotel we had identified on the internet would meet the priority 0 items in our list of requirements for night stays. Luckily it did. And we felt that we had earned a dinner. So we went out in search for it.Hotel Gokulam and Golden Minerva Coffee Cafe in Madanapalle, Andhra Pradesh, India || The town that provided us great food and a comfortable night stay
