Nandikonda : Located 64 kms from Miryalguda - This is a small village on the banks of the river Krishna , which gained prominence when several Buddhist structures such as monasteries and pillared halls were excavated here. These fascinating items are on display in a museum of the Central Archeological Department.

Gajulabanda : Located 4 Kms from Phanigiri . Extensive Buddhist structures have been revealed here which include a Stupa, Vihara complex and a Chaitya. The noteworthy aspect of Stupa is it is devoid of ayaka pillars unlike those at Amaravati & Nagarjunakonda.

Pochampalli : How to reach: Located 15 Kms from Bhongir.60 Kms from Hyderabad & 85 Kms from Nalagonda. This small village is famous on account of its exquisitely designed .  Silk & Cotton Sarees. The designs are simple geometrical patterns based on Ikat process of weaving.

Kolanpaka : Located 95 Kms from Nalgonda - Situated here is the renowned Jain Mandir with a 1.5 metre high idol of Lord Mahavira. The shrine is believed to be over 2000 years old and provides clear indication thatJainism flourished in Andhra Pradesh before the 4th century. Other attractions here include the Sri Veeranarayana Swamy temple built around 1104 A.D., Someshwara Swamy temple which is a splendid example of thewestern Chalukya architecture; Kolanpaka Museum where artefacts from the Chalukyan and Kakatiyan period are on display.

Wadapally : Located 25 kms from Miryalguda - This town is located at the confluence of the Krishna and Musi rivers. The place is known for the temple of Sri Meenakshi Agasteswara Swamy which was constructed by the Kakatiya rulers in the 12th century. The significance of the temple is that there is a crevice on top of the Shivalinga which is always full of water. Even if some water is removed the original level of the water is maintained. There is no logical reason that can explain this phenomenon especially since the Shivalinga is situated about 120 metres above the water level in the river.

Ramagiri : Located 15 Kms from Nagarakal & 30 Kms from Suryapet. This is the site of the Sri Seeta Ramachandra Swamy Devasthanam, which was shifted here about 200 years ago from Malbouli. Over the years, an idol of Andalamma (Godadevi) has been installed in the same premises. Presently, Andalu Kalayanam is celebrated on a grand scale.
