Khammam
Spend a half‑day to a full day in Khammam: see the fort and Narasimha Swamy Temple, stroll Tank Bund, then catch a bus or train onward.
Khammam is a small Telangana town with a historic fort, a hill‑top temple and a modest market area. One day covers the main sights; a second day allows a park visit or a day‑trip to nearby Kinnerasani Dam.
