Mangalore to Srisailam Tour Package Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival, Pickup and Srisailam Dam
-
Pickup and Transfer begins as you arrive from Mangalore at the designated meeting point (Hyderabad Airport/Station or Markapur). Our professional driver will receive you and initiate the scenic drive through the dense forests of the Srisailam Tiger Reserve. This initial journey sets the tone for your spiritual break, offering glimpses of wild landscapes and winding ghat roads.
-
Srisailam Dam is visited upon arrival in the temple town, standing as one of the largest hydroelectric projects in India across the Krishna River. Nestled in a deep gorge, the dam offers breathtaking views of the massive reservoir and the surrounding Nallamala mountain range. It is a fantastic spot for photography and witnessing the sheer scale of river engineering amidst natural beauty.
-
Sakshi Ganapathi Temple is located about 3 km from the main town and is traditionally the first stop for pilgrims. It is believed that Lord Ganesha acts as a witness (Sakshi) to every devotee’s visit, recording their names to testify before Lord Shiva. The temple is situated in a peaceful, leafy environment, making it a calm introduction to the sacred atmosphere of Srisailam.
Day 2: Temple Darshan and Forest Sightseeing
-
Mallikarjuna Jyotirlinga Temple is the spiritual highlight of the Mangalore to Srisailam tour package, being one of the twelve sacred abodes of Shiva. The temple features ancient Dravidian architecture with massive stone walls and beautifully carved gopurams depicting various Hindu deities. Devotees visit for the holy darshan of the Swayambhu Lingam, seeking divine blessings and inner peace.
-
Bhramaramba Devi Temple is located within the same complex and is celebrated as one of the 18 Maha Shakti Peethas. The goddess is worshipped here in the form of a bee, and the shrine is renowned for its powerful spiritual vibrations. Pilgrims consider the yatra incomplete without worshipping both Lord Shiva and Goddess Shakti in this dual-deity complex.
-
Pathala Ganga is reached via a scenic ropeway ride or a descent of several hundred steps to the banks of the Krishna River. Here, devotees take a ritual dip in the holy waters, which is believed to wash away sins and purify the soul. The area also offers motorboat rides that provide a closer look at the majestic cliffs surrounding the river.
Day 3: Mystical Caves and Return Drop
-
Akkamahadevi Caves are natural limestone caves accessible only via a scenic boat ride through the Krishna River’s backwaters. These caves hold historical and spiritual significance as the place where the 12th-century philosopher-saint Akkamahadevi performed penance. The walk through the dark, narrow cave passages to see the naturally formed Shivalinga is a highlight of the Srisailam sightseeing itinerary.
-
Paladhara Panchadhara is a picturesque spot where five perennial streams flow through a narrow valley, creating a soothing natural ambiance. It is traditionally believed that Adi Shankaracharya stayed here and composed several of his famous spiritual works. The lush greenery and the sound of falling water make it a perfect final stop for quiet reflection before starting the return journey.
-
Return Journey and Drop concludes the tour as our vehicle departs from the hills toward the final drop-off point. After a 3-day spiritual immersion, you will be dropped at the airport or railway station for your return journey to Mangalore. The drive back provides one last opportunity to enjoy the forest landscape and local highway culture.
