1000-Pillared Temple
Built in 1163, the 1000-Pillared Temple on the slopes of Hanamkonda Hill, 400m from Hanamkonda crossroads, is a fine example of Chalukyan architecture in a peaceful, leafy setting. Dedicated to three deities – Shiva, Vishnu and Surya – it has been carefully restored with intricately carved pillars and a central, very impressive Nandi (bull; Shiva’s mount) of black basalt.

Warangal Fort
Warangal’s fort was a massive construction with three distinct circular strongholds surrounded by a moat. Four paths with decorative gateways, set according to the cardinal points, led to the Swayambhava, a huge Shiva temple. The gateways are still obvious, but most of the fort is in ruins. It’s easily reached from Warangal by bus or autorickshaw (Rs. 100 return).

Chalukyan Hill Fort
Most buses and trains will stop en route at Bhongir, 60km from Hyderabad. It’s worth jumping down for a couple of hours to climb the fantastical-looking 12th-century Chalukyan hill fort. Looking like a gargantuan stone egg, the hill is mostly ringed by stairs.
