Top Attractions in Guntur
💡 The fountain runs at 7pm and 8pm on weekends only. No sitting fee, but bring a mat – benches are sparse. Entry is free, but avoid after 9pm when it becomes less safe.
💡 Arrive right at 8am to avoid crowds and heat. The climb to the top storey is steep but worth it for the view over the Krishna River basin.
💡 The stairs start at the base village of Kotappakonda. No entry fee, but parking costs ₹20 for cars. Go at dawn for cooler weather and to see the sunrise over the dam reservoir.
💡 Ferries run from the Pavitra Sangamam ghat. The round trip costs ₹20 per person. Bring your own food; the sole canteen is overpriced and often out of water.
💡 Entry to the stupa grounds costs ₹5 – roughly 6 pence. The museum has no fee but rarely opens on time; check with the caretaker first. Best visited on a weekday morning.
