What Makes It Awesome

Picture this, fam — cosy cottages on the banks of River Krishna, boat rides during the sunset hour, and comfort food. Sounds like a fun weekend getaway, isn't it? And what if we tell you it's affordable too? You'd want to pack your bags and leave already, right? Haritha Resorts, tucked in Somasila — a temple town located on the banks of River Krishna is calling for a family vacation, and we're heading! 

The resort is located on the nook of the land which means the river is completely surrounding the resort. Wake up to great views and piping hot filter coffee! This temple town is around four hours from Hyderabad, and we recommend taking a road trip as you'd pass through scenic vistas. Remember that it takes you through Mahbubnagar, which is two hours away from Somasila. 

Somasila is said to have around 15 temples around, and although it's generally less crowded, it brings in plenty of visitors during the Pushkar season. For now, you can expect minimal tourists. The resort has an in-house restaurant that offers a lovely view of the river and hills. Known for its South-Indian comfort food, we've heard only good things about its thalis and filter coffee. While you are at it, we recommend taking boat rides and coracle rides.

Another popular destination is the legendary Sangameshwara Temple which is submerged in the Somasila Water Reservoir. This temple although isn't open on all days and can be seen only when water levels are quite low. Apart from this, you can visit the temples in Alampur, Kollapur, Singotam, and Jetprolu. The architectural beauty of these temples is quite something! The accommodation at the resort begins at INR 500.
