Cochin to Srisailam Tour Package Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and Srisailam Dam Sightseeing
-
Srisailam Dam is a massive engineering marvel constructed across the Krishna River and stands as one of the largest hydroelectric projects in India. It is located in a deep gorge within the Nallamala forests, providing a stunning panoramic view of the gushing water and the rugged mountain terrain. Visitors can enjoy the cool breeze and take photographs of the vast reservoir that serves as a lifeline for the region.
-
Pathala Ganga is the sacred stretch of the Krishna River at the base of the hill where devotees traditionally take a holy dip before temple darshan. It is accessible via a scenic ropeway ride or a series of well-maintained steps that offer a bird’s eye view of the lush greenery. The serene atmosphere and the flowing river provide a calming experience for pilgrims arriving on the Cochin to Srisailam tour package.
Day 2: Temple Darshan and Forest Exploration
-
Mallikarjuna Jyotirlinga Temple is the spiritual heart of Srisailam and is one of the twelve sacred Jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple is famous for its fortified walls (Prakaram) decorated with beautiful stone carvings of elephants, soldiers, and scenes from Hindu epics. Devotees find immense peace in the sanctum sanctorum, which has been a center of worship for over a thousand years.
-
Bhramaramba Devi Temple is located within the same complex as the Mallikarjuna temple and is honored as one of the 18 Maha Shakti Peethas. According to legend, Goddess Parvati took the form of a bee (Bhramari) here to slay a powerful demon, giving the temple its unique name. It is a rare and holy site where both a Jyotirlinga and a Shakti Peetha exist together, attracting thousands of seekers daily.
-
Sakshi Ganapathi Temple is a small yet significant shrine situated about 3 km from the main town, surrounded by dense forest. The local belief is that Lord Ganesha acts as a witness (Sakshi) to every pilgrim’s visit and records their name to present before Lord Shiva. Devotees visit this temple to ensure their pilgrimage is complete and officially acknowledged by the divine witness.
Day 3: Mystical Caves and Departure
-
Akkamahadevi Caves are ancient natural limestone caves located deep in the forest and are only reachable via a scenic motorboat ride on the Krishna River. These caves served as the site of penance for the 12th-century saint-poetess Akka Mahadevi, who worshipped a natural Shiva Lingam deep inside. The combination of the boat journey and the walk through the dark, prehistoric caves adds an element of adventure to the spiritual trip.
-
Paladhara Panchadhara is a picturesque spot where natural springs flow perennially through a valley, believed to be the place where Adi Shankaracharya performed penance. The name refers to the five streams that represent the five faces of Shiva, and the site is famous for its peaceful, meditative environment. It is the perfect final stop to soak in the natural beauty of the Nallamala Hills before beginning the return journey.
