The Sri Venkateswara Temple is one of the most famous pilgrimage sites in the world, attracting people from far and wide. Built in the Dravidian architecture style, the temple is dedicated to Lord Venkateswara, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Marvel at the intricate carvings and sculptures that adorn the walls and pillars of the temple as you make your way through its various chambers and halls. Witness the grandeur of the Brahmostava and Garuda sevas during the annual Brahmotsavam festival.
Experience the soothing calm of nature at the foot of the Talakona Waterfall, the highest waterfall in Andhra Pradesh. The waterfall gushes down from a height of 270 feet, and the surrounding area is home to diverse flora and fauna that you can witness on a trek through the national park. Keep your eyes peeled for endangered species such as the Slender Loris and Indian Giant Squirrel. Take a dip in the pristine water at the base of the waterfall and feel your stress melt away.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Sri Padmavathi Ammavari Temple and the Chandragiri Fort, which offer stunning views of the surrounding area. Alternatively, make a visit to the Sri Kalahasti Temple, which is known for its stunning architecture and fascinating legend.
If you have less time, skip the Talakona Waterfall and spend more time exploring the various halls and chambers of the Sri Venkateswara Temple.
