Maha Shivaratri, dedicated to Lord Shiva, occurs in February or March and is a major event at the Mahanandi Temple near Nandyal. Dussehra, celebrated in October, involves elaborate processions and cultural programs. Diwali, the festival of lights, usually in late October or early November, brings vibrant decorations and festivities to the city. While not a festival, the annual Brahmotsavam at Mahanandi Temple draws large crowds during February-March.

What to pack

During the winter months (December to February), pack light cotton clothing for daytime and a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring temples and natural sites. If visiting during the monsoon season (June to September), carry an umbrella or raincoat and waterproof footwear. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are necessary year-round. Dress modestly when visiting temples, covering shoulders and knees. Remember to carry insect repellent, especially during the monsoon.

Saving money

The cheapest months to visit Nandyal are typically during the monsoon season (June to September), when hotel rates can be 20-30% lower. Flights to the nearest airport, Kurnool (KJB), also tend to be cheaper during this period. For budget accommodation, look for guesthouses and smaller hotels in the main city area. Eating at local restaurants and street food stalls is a cost-effective way to experience the local cuisine. Booking flights and accommodation 4-6 weeks in advance can also help secure better deals.
