Day 2
Day 2 in Adilabad
A mix of nature, history, and local flavors to round off your Adilabad trip, focusing on lesser-known but equally captivating spots.
Activities
Morning at Kawal Wildlife Sanctuary
Start your day early with a visit to Kawal Wildlife Sanctuary, about 50 km from Adilabad. This lesser-known gem is home to tigers, leopards, and a variety of bird species. The dry deciduous forest makes wildlife spotting easier, and the early morning light adds to the experience. Opt for a guided jeep safari to maximize your chances of spotting wildlife.
- Carry binoculars for birdwatching
- Wear muted colors to blend in
Explore Jainath Temple
Head back towards Adilabad town to visit the ancient Jainath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva. Built in the 12th century, this temple showcases intricate Kakatiya-era architecture. The peaceful atmosphere and lesser crowds make it a great spot for some quiet reflection. Don't miss the unique Nandi statue facing the sanctum.
- Remove footwear before entering
- Look for the ancient inscriptions on walls
Local Market Walk & Late Lunch
Spend your afternoon exploring Adilabad's local markets near the bus stand. This is where you'll see daily life unfold - from spice vendors to handloom weavers selling traditional Gond fabrics. Stop by a local eatery to try Telangana's famous Gutti Vankaya (stuffed brinjal curry) with Jonna Rotte (sorghum flatbread).
- Bargain politely at shops
- Try the street-style Irani chai at small stalls
