Telangana Tourism Relaunches Somasila-Srisailam River Cruise
The Telangana Tourism is starting a boat trip again that goes from Somasila to Srisailam.
It's a long ride on a boat that takes about seven hours and travels through forests.
You can only go when the river has enough water.
There's also a bigger tour that includes a bus ride and a boat trip.
The boat trip is a one-way journey and happens on certain days of the week.
The bigger tour starts in Hyderabad, stays overnight in Srisailam, and then you take the boat back.
