Overview
Kadapa (officially YSR Kadapa) is a historic city in the Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh, located approximately 900 km southeast of Mumbai. The drive from Mumbai takes about 14 to 16 hours via NH 65 through Pune, Solapur, and Kurnool, or alternatively via NH 44 through Hyderabad and then south toward Kadapa. The route via Pune and Solapur is more direct, passing through the Deccan plateau's flat terrain with cotton and sunflower fields stretching to the horizon. After Kurnool, the road enters the Nallamala Hills with winding ghat sections offering dramatic views of the Eastern Ghats before descending into the Kadapa basin. Good food stops are available at highway restaurants near Pune, Solapur, and Kurnool, serving a mix of Maharashtrian and Andhra cuisine. Kadapa sits in a valley surrounded by the Nallamala and Palkonda hill ranges, which form a distinctive cup-like geographical formation — the name 'Kadapa' is derived from the Telugu word 'gadapa' meaning threshold or gate. The city has a rich multi-layered history spanning the Chola, Kakatiya, Vijayanagara, and Nizam periods. It is a major centre for the global uranium mining industry, with the Tummalapalle mine being one of the world's largest uranium reserves. For pilgrims, Kadapa serves as the gateway to the famous Ameen Peer Dargah and is within striking distance of Tirupati (approximately 280 km). The Gandikota canyon, often called the 'Grand Canyon of India', is just 75 km from Kadapa and is a must-visit.
