    If you only have a few hours, the Subramanya Temple is a quick stop it’s only 8 km away and the main shrine has a striking gopuram that looks great in a photo. The Kanaka Durga Temple is a bit further, but the view of the hilltop temple over the city is worth the extra drive. If you can spare the time, the Undavalli Caves offer a unique rock cut temple setting that’s a bit farther still. For a quick photo, the temple’s outer courtyard with the marble steps is a classic shot. If you need a place to stay after, the Lemon Tree Premier Vijayawada is a solid option a short distance from all three sites.
