    The best way to go to Kaleswaram from Secunderabad/Hyderabad, by bus, is go to Hanumakonda (Warangal) by Garuda and then from there catch District bus (Express service) to go to Kaleswaram directly.Here apart from having Abhishekam (cost you 300/- ticket plus pooja items about Rs 150/- to buy outside), you should have bath in Godavari river. Never go to Manchiryal, as suggested in some reviews, as it is too far to Kaleswaram. I got misled and spent lot of time unnecessarily. The nearest town is Manthani. From Manthani, one can go to Karim nagar. Karim Nagar is good place to stay. Hotels like Swetha (near bus stand, but per day cost about 3000/-), Srinivasa Hotel (reasonable price, per day cost Rs 800/-) are available. Of course, the quality differ, based on your budget. From Karim nagar one can take taxi and visit Vemulawada Raja Rajeswara temple, Kondagattu Hanuman temple, Dharmapuri Laxmi Narasimhaswamy temple. At Dharma puri Godavari river is a must visit place and must have bath there.
