How to Reach Kuruvapuram Temple From Hyderabad

To reach Kuruvapuram Dattatreya Swamy Temple from Hyderabad, start your journey by travelling towards Zadcherla.

Hyderabad to Kapavaram

Once in Zadcherla, turn towards Raichur, and on the way, take a diversion at Matkal. Follow the narrow country road for about 20 km to reach Panchadeva Pahad.

Country boats can be found at Panchadeva Pahad or a short distance before at Sripada Vallabha Maha Samsthanam in Sri Vallabhapuram, just one or two kilometers before the Panchadeva Pahad village.

After reaching there, cross the river by walking. Crossing the river on foot is not advisable due to the large distance. Instead, you have the option to pay local individuals who operate tractor and trailer services to ferry you across the river.

While the journey may not be entirely comfortable, it is a far more convenient alternative to walking. Walking is a possible option, primarily for the young and enthusiastic.

Accommodations may not be available at Kuruvapuram, so it’s advisable to carry food and water. Tea sellers near the temple offer biscuits and fruits, and on some days, the temple and ashrams may provide food for devotees.

If you plan to visit the Ashram of Sri Vithal Babaji at Sri Vallabhapuram, the trustees running the ashram may offer simple food.
