Arrive and Settle In

Khammam Fort

Free 600m from centre

A 10th-century hill fort with ruins, a mosque, and panoramic city views. The climb takes about 20 minutes.

Khammam District Museum

Free 800m from centre

Small museum housing local archaeological finds, coins, and traditional artifacts from the region's history.

Tip: Ask the caretaker for the key to the upstairs gallery—it's usually locked but contains rare pottery.
