Khammam district

Khammam is an administrative district in eastern Telangana that spans a large area. The region is surrounded by several neighboring areas and features geographic elements like rivers and hills.

The territory was formed from Warangal division in 1953 and witnessed major administrative changes. In 2014, it became part of the newly created Telangana state following the separation of Andhra Pradesh.

The region holds several Buddhist sites such as Nelakondapalli and Mudigonda that visitors can explore. Traditional festivals like Bathukamma and Bonalu are celebrated throughout the year and shape local life.

The region is connected to major cities through an extensive network of roads and railways, making travel straightforward. The best time to visit is between October and March when temperatures are pleasant and mild.

A hill called Stambhadri at the center of the town gave the entire district its name. The Godavari River flows through the area for a long distance and shapes the landscape.
