Kawal Tiger Reserve and Kaleshwaram



Unplanned road trips would always be fun and becomes great memories. Such unplanned and quick trip was to spend some serene, personal time at Kawal Tiger/Wildlife Reserve/Sanctuary. Initially thought of just covering Kawal Wildlife Sanctuary for couple of days by just going around such as Kadam Reservoir and Forest Safari, but last minute addition to this, just before the return journey was Kaleshwaram project and Temple. 

Started from Nizamabad after a decent breakfast, Hit NH44/NH7 after Armoor and exit it near Nirmal, to take deviation towards Nirmal-Mancherial road until Jannaram. From Jannaram to Mancherial to Annaram Barrage. From there to Kaleshwaram Temple. All the roads are superb in condition and through dense Teak forests, forest got its Spring beauty. Stay was booked at Haritha Resorts, Jannaram.

Forest Drive









Haritha Resorts is a good place with lot of open spaces and garden, with cottages spread across. Decent facilities for family stay. One can cover Kadam Reservoir on the way to Jannaram or another evening/morning time just to enjoy the forest drive again. Forest safari would be decent, but don't expect much like encountering tigers..etc.
