Srisailam (శ్రీశైలం)

DAY 1: Mallela Theertham: This place is a 8KM diversion from the highway around 30 KM before Srisailam. Took the 8KM muddy road and after that 350 steps down to the beautiful waterfalls. The forest department objected to a metal road. So, had tough time on the muddy road. It would be very difficult during rainy season. So, the best season to visit this place is from October till January when there would be good amount of water. Locals informed us that water falls would be throughout the year - but, we had serious doubts on it. The waterfalls is in the midst of the thick jungle. The sight of the water directly falling on a Shiva Lingam is mesmerizing. Since we were not prepared to get wet, we just took some snaps at the water falls and took the torturous journey of 350 steps back to our car. Srisailam: We reached Srisailam at around 3PM, skipping our lunch, booked in a hotel (Ganga Sadan), went to the boating point. We took a cable car down to the River Krishna and
