The construction of the dam submerged an ancient Buddhist settlement, Nagarjunakonda, which was the capital of the Ikshvaku dynasty in the 1st and 2nd centuries, the successors of the Satavahanas in the Eastern Deccan. Excavations here had yielded 30 Buddhist monasteries, as well as art works and inscriptions of great historical importance. In advance of the reservoir's flooding, monuments were dug up and relocated. Some were moved to Nagarjuna's Hill, now an island in the middle of the reservoir. Others were moved to the mainland.

Germany is my part of 15 day Europe journey by bus. I stayed 2days (1night). Highlights of my trip to Germany is 
  • Drive along the black forest
  • Camp site
  • Neuchwansein Castle  at Fussen
  • Small stop over in Frankfort


























I definitely thank Kelana convoy manager for choosing nice campsites for our accommodation. 




We reached Neuchwanstein Castle by afternoon, It is a bit rainy and misty. We started climbing hill to reach castle, Castle location is marvellous, surrounded by mountains and lakes. It is built by King Ludwig, this castle is inspiration for the Disneyland especially Fairy tale castle.
