- 2 Kota Gullu. A group of 12th-century temples, constructed by King Ganapatideva of the Kakatiya dynasty, now in shambles. The reason behind the damage is uncertain, either through the attacks from the Muslim armies between the 14th and 16th centuries, or through a major earthquake in the region in the 17th century. Each of the 22 temples vary in size and design, but all of them exhibit the marvellous architecture of the Kakatiyas.
- 3 Mylaram Caves. Caves with stalactites and stalagmites formations.
- 4 Pandavula Guhalu. An archaeological site with an unusual geological rock structure, paleolithic cave paintings and prehistoric rock art. Other than prehistoric art, there are many inscriptions of the Rashtrakuta era as well. It is believed that the Pandavas stayed there for a while during their twelve years exile in the Mahabharata.
