Kodurupaka is one of the oldest villages in the Karimnagar district of Andhra Pradesh, India. It is located 21 km away from Karimnagar, on the highway from Karimnagar to Vemulawada. There is bus service to the town. This place is soon getting destroyed under the Sri Ram Sagar Project that covers almost 14 villages.

The actual place of interest is not exactly at the Kodurupaka Stage, but the entire village is concentrated deep inside, which is 2 km away from the main road.

Environment

Agriculture is the primary industry in this area and rice was the main crop. Drought is common in this area, and as a result, the farmers have largely switched over to cotton and maize. The village is located on the banks of the river which flows through Vemulawada. This was the major source of water for household consumption and for agricultural irrigation, but the river is running dry.

The village has lots of greenery. Palm trees provide a livelihood for a number of people, largely a group called the Gouds. Vegetables are much grown in this area also, and the Karimnagar RTC has dedicated a daily bus to collect the daily harvest at 4 am.
