South on the highway
From Mahbubnagar, the truck reaches NH 44 near Bhoothpur and heads south through farmland and small towns such as Kothakota and Pebbair. At about 120 km, a household can usually be loaded in the morning and placed in a Kurnool home the same afternoon. Ask for a dedicated vehicle and agree the loading time and expected arrival in writing.
Two rivers in one drive
Shortly before the border, the highway crosses the Krishna, and near Alampur, with its old Navabrahma temples, it reaches the Tungabhadra and enters Kurnool. Both rivers can run high after heavy rain in the monsoon. If a flood warning is issued for the Kurnool riverside, a short delay is safer than pressing on.
Leaving Mahbubnagar
Older homes near the clock tower and the market may need a smaller vehicle to bring goods to the truck. Colonies along the main roads are easier. If you're vacating government or company quarters, give the notice the office asks for and book the handover inspection before the moving date.
Arriving in Kurnool
Kurnool's old town, near the Konda Reddy fort and the old markets, has narrow, crowded streets with limited parking, so goods may need to be carried the last stretch. Newer colonies on the Nandyal and Bellary roads and around the medical college area are more open, with independent houses and apartment blocks. Tell the mover the exact address and floor.
Into Andhra Pradesh
This move crosses from Telangana into Andhra Pradesh. Keep the packing list, the mover's invoice and your ID handy in case the paperwork is checked, and update your address, bank and other records once you've moved. A vehicle that stays in Andhra Pradesh for a long time may eventually need re-registration.
Rayalaseema heat
Kurnool is one of the hotter towns in the region, and its summer, roughly March to June, is extreme. Start loading in Mahbubnagar at dawn so the truck isn't standing in the afternoon sun, and keep candles, cosmetics, medicines and electronics in your own vehicle. Plan cooling for at least one room from the first night.
November to February is usually the most comfortable window.
Families across the border
Mahbubnagar and Kurnool districts share a border, a language and many family ties, and a lot of moves on this route are about marriage, caring for parents or returning to a family home. If someone else will receive the goods in Kurnool, agree in writing who signs the packing list at each end.
Transfers and colleges
Government offices, banks and colleges send staff and students between the two towns. A student's room can go as a few-items move. If an employer is paying, ask what documents they need; every mover we work with provides a GST invoice.
Festivals and busy weeks
Sankranti, Ugadi and Dasara send many families travelling between the two districts, and crews are in demand. Kurnool's temples and the road towards Srisailam are busy on festival days. Choose a date clear of these if you can.
Packing for the heat
Heat is the main risk to goods on this route. Ask for wax, cosmetics and medicines to stay out of the truck, for electronics to be wrapped and loaded away from the sun-facing walls, and for wooden furniture to be wrapped in blankets rather than plastic, which can trap moisture.
Settling in
Find out how water and power backup work in the new home, and book internet as soon as you have the address. Telugu is spoken at both ends, and Urdu is widely heard in Kurnool's old town. Our guide to address changes after moving covers the main official updates.
