Punnami Vihar
Punnami Vihar, also known as Haritha Vijay Vihar, is the premier tourism complex operated by Telangana Tourism. It serves as the primary gateway for tourists visiting Nagarjunakonda and the dam. The complex offers a mix of accommodation, dining, and recreational facilities, making it a "base camp" for any trip to this region. It is situated on a hill overlooking the reservoir, providing guests with stunning views right from their balconies. The resort is famous for its hospitality and for serving authentic local Andhra and Telangana cuisine. For many travelers, Punnami Vihar is not just a place to stay but a destination in itself where they can relax in the gardens or swim in the pool after a day of sightseeing. The architecture of the resort is designed to blend with the local surroundings, featuring open spaces and stone finishes. It is the best place to get information about boat timings to the Nagarjunakonda island. The atmosphere here is particularly lively during weekends when families from Hyderabad visit for a short break. The restaurant is known for its fish curry, made from fresh catch from the reservoir. Staying here allows tourists to be the first in line for the morning boat rides, which is a major advantage. The lush greenery within the complex attracts many local birds, adding to the charm of the stay.
