[edit] Overview

The village is on the banks of an irrigation canal dug under the Sriram Sagar Project. The canal supports the main life of the village with water supply for irrigation, washing clothes and bathing. The main attraction of the village is the Lord Venkateshwara Swamy temple located on the outskirts of the village. The origin of the deity statue is unknown and many people believe it is one of nature's miracles. The well dug near the temple has sweet water as compared to salty water in other parts of the village.

The village and adjacent Mohanraopet are very famous for toddy plantations and locally known as 'kallu'. People drive from far away for this drink. The popular joints in the village for this drink are Endrikkaya bottha and Orreyy. Vallampally is well connected to the adjacent town of Korutla through buses, jeeps and auto rickshaws.
