About the temple It’s a relatively modern temple (built around 2010) under the care of the Vinayaka Mission. It has 1008 Shiva lingams arranged such that 1007 surround a central lingam, with a statue of Nandi in front. On the hilltop, the main shrine houses Sri Umaiyambigai Samedha Sri Arunachala Sundareswara. The temple is located on Salem’s bypass road, in Ariyanoor, about 14 km from Salem city centre. Timings There is some variation in reported timings. Here are the credible ones: According to Salem district’s official temple list: 7:30 am to 12:30 pm, and 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm Tamil Nadu Tourism brochure also lists the same timings: 7:30 am–12:30 pm & 4:00 pm–8:00 pm Some sources say it opens from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm (for general viewing) One devotional blog suggests 5:00 am to 12:00 pm and 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm From TripAdvisor Q&A: for main deity pooja, best between 9:00 am–11:00 am and 5:00 pm–8:00 pm Given these, the official timings (7:30 am–12:30 pm, 4:00 pm–8:00 pm) seem most reliable. Best time to visit Morning (soon after opening) is ideal: cooler, quieter, less crowded. Evening is also pleasant, especially during dusk, when the light and surroundings are serene. The winter months (November to February) are often recommended as the best time to visit (milder weather) Avoid midday in hot months, as heat and direct sun may make the walk up less comfortable

A Serene and Divine Discovery in Salem !! I truly regret having missed this divine place during my previous travels through Salem. This is a serene and peaceful location, nestled amidst nature and adorned with numerous Shiva Lingas, offering a truly calming and spiritually enriching experience. The temple provides convenient car parking with two options. You can either park at the bottom and enjoy a peaceful walk up the small hill, or take the Vinayaka Missions entrance to drive directly to the top. I highly recommend starting from the bottom, parking your vehicle, and beginning your ascent from the Vinayagar shrine. This place is a beautiful confluence of faiths, featuring shrines for all in one location. The atmosphere is incredibly calm and divine, filling you with a sense of tranquility and good vibes. When you're traveling through Salem, I urge you to take the time to visit this spot. You will be pleasantly surprised by the breathtaking views and the powerful, positive energy of the place.

A serene spiritual experience perched on a hill, this temple features an enchanting walkway lined with 1008 Shiva lingams and Nandi statues. The complex is clean, well-maintained, and offers beautiful views of the surrounding greenery. The ascent is pleasant whether you walk or drive, and the inner sanctum has a powerful aura. Some visitors note minor upkeep issues, but overall it’s a must-visit for those seeking peace and devotion.

Peaceful, unique, and beautifully laid out. Walking the pathway past row after row of Shiva lingams with a majestic central sanctum feels meditative—even on a busy day. The campus is clean, signage is clear, and darshan usually moves smoothly. Families and seniors will appreciate the benches and shaded stretches; kids get excited spotting the numbered lingams. What I liked: calm priests, tidy prakarams, and the satisfying “parikrama” loop where you can complete a quiet round of prayer without jostle. Plenty of photo-worthy angles in the open courtyard (avoid the sanctum for photos). Good to know: mornings and late evenings are cooler; afternoons can be hot in the open areas—carry water. Parking is straightforward near the entrance. Dress modestly, and keep small change/UPI handy for archana/prasadam. Tip: do one slow clockwise round touching each pillar/lingam cluster with your right hand—it turns the visit into a mindful walk. Secret tip: after the main darshan, stand a few minutes at the far end of the courtyard and look back toward the central shrine—the symmetry of the 1008 lingams lining up to the sanctum is the most serene frame of the temple. 🙏

1008 Lingam Temple near Salem is a must-visit when traveling from Chennai to Coimbatore or Ooty. It’s a really big temple — walking inside itself takes more than 30 minutes. The unique part is that it’s a drive-in temple, you can take your vehicle inside and go around for darshan. Very peaceful, clean, and well maintained with a beautiful hill view.”

1008 Shiva Linga & Rajarajeshwari temple is a deeply spiritual and serene temple located on a tranquil hillside in Ariyanur near Salem Tamilnadu. The main attraction is the truly unique collection of 1008 Shiva lingams. Each lingam is accompanied by its own Nandi, creating a visually stunning spectacle. The location is also accessible via public transport from Salem's New Bus Stand it takes around 20 minutes to reach on a very reasonable fare of just 11 INR one way.

Enjoyed well with kids as privately maintained temple complex with plenty of amenities and some of the special god sculptures like load rama

Grange Tree Top Adventure is an exhilarating experience! With rope courses for both kids and adults, you'll get to navigate through treetop challenges, literally walking on ropes suspended high above the ground. The sense of adventure is palpable as you tackle obstacles and finally zip line through the air. It's a fantastic adventure spot that's definitely a must-try for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike!

My friend and i did the high rope and ATV, high rope was so adventurous . Staffs were guiding us through the entire task with encouragement. Would suggest this place to anyone visiting yercaud to give a try. Be sure to call up before going.

I liked this place very much. Calm cool silent yet adventurous. I tried zipline,archery and enjoyed it.Keep up the good work guys.

An adventurous place. To engage kids for an hour this is a good place. Good safety measures and well trained instructors. Made us feel comfortable and were well behaved

Defenetly not a choice if you are looking for more games, they have only very less games but more down in their website. The guy sitting in the reception billing section dint have patience to explain , he hardly responds.. The property is good, but only zip line game is kind of ok. Each game is being charged from Rs.400 to Rs.500

It is a very nice Adventure place where we can do small adventures on the trees. Safety measures are good there is no chance of falling from the trees.

In Yercaud if you want to try adventure sports this is a good.place.They have zip line ,archery,shooting and other sports activities.A place worth trying for family and kids to enjoy.

This is kadayampatti fort lake it's a wonderful lake surrounded this area. Aroound temples where located East side Shakthi shiva temples western side erikarai muniyappa temple... Grand lake of ponnarkoodal

Coracle ride here for which they will charge Rs. 1500 for 4 People govt charge and rider will ask you more so decide everything before you start. River not clean.

The best place for one day trip from bangalore. It’s full of thrilling and I have visited many times . But this time I didn’t get chance to go inside Bec water was too much so they had closed it . Best place to visit with family and friends.

It is a fantastic ride of around one and a half hours from bangalore. Marvelous road with smart turns and curves. Bikers can enjoy it. Stay is not so cheap but can be negotiated. Don't go for oil massage if you are alone as yours belongings can be stolen.

Good tourist spot near Bangalore

Good place to explore, best to visit during winter or monsoon. Multiple locations to see the falls & relax around. Ticket is a bit expensive for boat rides, the boatmen would charge you extra to visit more places other than the government fixed price ! Hygiene can be improved around the place

Nice place.must try boat ride....

Nice place but main falls is closed due to corona for the past 6 months..but beware of too many Charges collected for car while travelling from bangalore..they charge u first 50rs and then comes second check post where they make unofficial entry only for other state people except tamilnadu here again 50rs..and after that again 50rs with some stupid token..finally for parking 50rs again..in total collection at 3 places in addition to parking..

One of the best amusement parks in the country. Some rides are really high on thrill and adrenaline rush, especially their roller coaster- recoil, the twister, maverik etc. You must not miss the newly added adventure ride- Interstellar which is an experience in itself. The giant wheel at the 13th floor gives the best view of the park and the city. The waterpark isn’t great but has some good water slides and rides you can try. For extra fun you can try the rain dance shows, & especially the wave pool with the dj is so much fun. The best part is they hae made a division in the pool with 2 sides, one for family, couple, women; and other for only men. The crew keeps a check that everyone follows the rules properly and behaves. Some things to keep in mind. Some rides can have queues in rush time, but its doable; as the fastrack tickets are double the cost and not worth it as you can still do all rides without it, just make sure you reach before noon and are there till atleast 6pm. Noone specifically checked the costume for waterpark, but carry appropriate material clothes to enjoy the most, or you’ll have t o buy them at 350 bucks. The locker costs 350 rs, with an additional 50 bucks of the magnetic key watch band. There are multiple food joints and options to eat from. You’ll also find souvenir shops. Wait till post the sunset to see the beauty of the park in lights. You can take certain buses plying to and back from the park to city. Overall its a great experience and a must go to atleast once if you are adventurous soul.

Fantastic Experience at Bangalore Amusement Park! I had an absolutely amazing time at Bangalore Amusement Park! The place is beautifully maintained, clean, and filled with thrilling rides for all age groups. From roller coasters to water rides, every attraction was well-managed and safe. The staff were courteous, helpful, and ensured everyone had a great experience. The food court had plenty of delicious options, and the overall ambiance made it a perfect day out with family and friends. The park is vibrant, fun, and definitely worth visiting again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for excitement and entertainment in Bangalore! 🎢🎡🎠

Check offers before Booking! This place is really good for a day outing, don't start from the first ride, watch YouTube videos to see which one you don't wanna miss and be in queue for those in the start. First of all reach the place by 10 am to be aware of what to do, and how to go ahead. Normal queue Wait time is 30-70 minutes on each ride after 11:30. So decide wisely don't waste your time on not so worthy rides. We included three meals, it was a good decision so we didn't waste time deciding, what to eat. My recommendations at least include noon meal, so you can enjoy it and during the evening it will be your wish for what you wanna eat after rides. Take the longest hours, it's hardly the matter of 100-200/- rs but then after dinner also you may be able to do some fun rides if not water rides. Take the locker in advance or one of you may end up just looking after your stuff. Wear water rides approved clothing from the start , so you don't waste time changing clothes again and again. Wear rubber slippers/ crocs, it's easy for you to move around.

I recently went to Wonderla Bengaluru, and honestly, it was an amazing experience! One of the best amusement parks I’ve ever been to. The place is super clean, well maintained, and packed with rides that’ll give you both adrenaline rush and pure fun. The new Mission Interstellar ride totally blew my mind! It’s India’s first space themed ride and the huge screen makes you feel like you’re actually floating in space definitely a must-try. Apart from that, the high thrill rides like Recoil were just insane. The water park section was also great the slides, the wave pool, the lazy river everything was just perfect for cooling off and chilling. The staff were polite and helpful throughout the day, and the locker and changing facilities were neat and clean. I also liked the food options inside decent variety and not too overpriced, which was nice. Overall, I had an absolute blast here! Whether you’re going with friends, family, or your partner, Wonderla guarantees a full day of fun, thrill, and amazing memories. Totally worth it! 🙌

We recently visited *Wonderla Bangalore* with a group of four friends on a **Sunday weekend**, and it was an amazing experience! Since Wonderla was celebrating its **20th anniversary**, they had a special **Buy 2 Get 2 Free offer**, so the crowd was quite full — but the fun was totally worth it! The park is **very clean, green, and peaceful**, with a lot of energy and excitement all around. We enjoyed both **dry rides and water games** — each one gave us a thrill! The **rain dance** and **Rizal Coaster** were especially unforgettable and gave us real goosebumps. There are **lockers available**, and **drinking water** is easily accessible throughout the park, which is really convenient. Coming to **food**, the options are good and available at **reasonable prices**. Just one suggestion — avoid eating and then going for active water rides immediately, as it might cause a bit of discomfort. For **timings**: * Monday to Friday: 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM * Saturday & Sunday: 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM In the **evening**, the **lighting and night atmosphere** make the place even more beautiful. **How to reach:** Reaching Wonderla is easy. The best way is to take the **metro to Challaghatta (last station)**, and from there, you can easily book a **cab or bike**. The route from Challaghatta is smooth and traffic-free, just about **7 km away**. Overall, it’s a **perfect destination to visit with friends or family**, especially in groups — the fun multiplies! If you love adventure, water rides, and vibrant energy, **Wonderla Bangalore is a must-visit!** 🎢💦🎉

This was my 3rd visit but first time with family and kids. Beautiful park, everyone should visit for fun. Weather was supportive so you could enjoy water games. There's new addition to the park - Mission Interstellar. It was mind blowing. Never experienced before. For all games there's 25% of people with Fast track priority passes are sent in. With Halloween passes, all land games can be played even between 7 pm to 10 pm while games for regular passes are closed by 6 pm. Park timings on weekends is 11 am to 7 pm. Everything is fine except Food. Its totally SCAM. If you buy buffet online vs offline, the prices are different. If you buy Buffet lunch at entrance is 419 while online and inside its 500+. Any food like Fried rice or Noodles with non/veg manchurian and large coke combination is 410/- when you can buy Buffet for same price. The quality of food is pathetic. After spending good time, we felt disappointed with food quality with menu options and with exorbitant prices. I have provided same feedback to ground staff to improve food. Hence reduced the overall ratings.

When we were planning a fun trip for our school children on the occasion of Children’s Day, the first place that came to our minds was Wonderla - a place we knew would bring them the most joy. Since our students come from the ashrama and study in a government-aided school, we reached out to Wonderla to request their support in making this day special. The Wonderla management responded with immense kindness. They wholeheartedly accepted our request and made it possible for more than 45 students to enjoy a fully sponsored day at the park. The children got to experience all the dry rides and water games, enjoying every moment with excitement and laughter. The team ensured personal care throughout the day, organised fun games exclusively for our kids, and treated them to delicious food - making the entire experience unforgettable. We, the teachers of Mahila Mandali Vidya Samaste Kannada Primary, extend our heartfelt gratitude to the entire Wonderla team for embracing our children with so much love and warmth. The joy, laughter, and memories you created for them will always be cherished. Your generous gesture will forever remain close to our hearts.

A Great Day Out, But With Key Areas for Improvement ​Bannerghatta Biological Park offers a genuinely wonderful experience for wildlife lovers, making it a fantastic destination for a day trip. The park is vast, and many of the naturalized habitats for the local species are impressive and well-maintained. The staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful, contributing to an overall positive atmosphere. ​However, a couple of significant issues prevented me from rating this as a perfect five-star experience. ​Firstly, I was disappointed that some of the highly anticipated major animals, notably the Lion and the Orangutan, were either absent or could not be found in their areas during our visit. This was a notable letdown for key species that many visitors hope to see. ​More importantly, I observed certain welfare concerns that I hope the park management addresses. Several animals appeared to be kept alone or with a very limited number of mates, which seemed sparse given their social nature. In a few cases, the enclosures seemed smaller than ideal, and I witnessed some animals exhibiting repetitive, stereotypic behaviors (pacing back and forth). This gave the distinct impression that they might be bored, stressed, or depressed due to the lack of space or social stimulation. Ensuring that all animals have adequate companionship and spacious, enriching enclosures is crucial for a park of this stature. ​Despite these issues, the overall variety of species and the natural beauty of the environment are undeniable. If the park could improve its exhibit list consistency and significantly upgrade the size and social conditions of the enclosures I mentioned, it would easily earn five stars.

Last week, I visited the Biological Zoo with my family. It was a very exciting and memorable trip. We saw many animals like lions, tigers, elephants, deer, giraffes and colorful birds. The best part of our visit was the safari. It was really thrilling to see the wild animals moving freely in the open area. We saw lions and tigers very closely from the safari bus and it felt like a real jungle adventure. The zoo was clean and well maintained. The staff guided us properly and we enjoyed taking many photos and videos together. It was a fun and educational experience for the whole family. I would love to visit again, especially for the safari ride.

Bannerghatta Biological Park is a great place for a family day out. The zoo is well-maintained, with a good variety of animals like lions, tigers, elephants, and reptiles. The safari experience is the highlight — you get to see animals roaming freely in a natural habitat, which feels exciting and safe. Better to pre book tge tickets through online from their official page. Also suggest to visit morning first slot.Walkways are clean, and there are plenty of resting spots and food stalls. Weekends can be crowded, so visiting early morning is best. Overall, a wonderful and educational place for kids and adults.

It was amazing experience we went in the noon at 2:30pm for safari and it was so lively experience and kid will really enjoy this. The safari takes 45min and its amazing experience and the zoo inside there are many caged animals snakes as well. Well maintained and hygienic. Be aware there are mosquitoes be cautioned while takings kids mainly

+ very well maintained + Safari in pre winter monsoon season was too good. All animals were in good mood and curious. Would suggest safari better than the zoo. Of course zoo is a must for reptiles, birds and other herbivores. + Animals well fed and taken care of. Would suggest visiting as soon as they open in the morning. Animals move to the shade in the afternoon.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND visiting this biological park you’ve probably never seen so many animals in one place. The Bannerghatta Biological Park trail is about 2.2 km and takes at least 3 hours to complete. After that spend around 45 minutes at the Butterfly Park. It’s absolutely worth it with family or friends. There’s also a safari option though I didn’t opt for it you can check other reviews for that.

I recently visited Bannerghatta National Park, and honestly, it felt a bit overhyped. From the photos and reviews, I expected a proper wildlife experience, but in reality, it was more like an average zoo with a bus ride added in. We booked the safari bus since jeeps weren’t available, and that was fine — but the safari itself was quite disappointing. The entire 20–30 minute ride had barely 4–5 types of animals — deer, elephants, leopards, lions, and a small bear. It didn’t feel like we were in a natural habitat at all. The zones were just large fenced areas with a few animals each. For example, you start with deer and elephants, then after passing a gate you reach the leopard zone, where maybe 3–4 leopards can be seen resting near shelters. Same goes for lions and bears. It honestly felt like a zoo with a bus tour instead of walking. After the safari, we went to the zoo area, which was okay but again nothing great. There were only one or two animals of each species — a single giraffe, one tiger, one lion, etc. Variety was there, but it didn’t feel lively or well-maintained. The butterfly park was the best part of the entire visit. The entry fee was ₹50 per person, and it was worth it. The dome area filled with butterflies and greenery looked beautiful and peaceful — definitely the highlight of the day. Overall, Bannerghatta National Park is good for a one-time visit or a short family outing near Bangalore, but if you’re expecting a real safari or wildlife experience, you’ll probably be disappointed.

So peaceful. We were lucky that Gurudev was there when we visited. So inquire first before going there. You can shop there, there are meditation centres, temples and everything. You must have 1 whole day to visit it properly.

Most beautiful and happening place. Helpful for peace of mind and to enhance your dynamism...with yoga , meditation and best prasadam. Heaven on earth ! I have been visiting this place from last 15 yrs.. and never felt boared to revisit this again. You can feel all these magical when you step inside the gate.. worth to visit!

Nice place to visit. It is a place where you can feel the eternal peace. I visited during 4 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. and saw lighting, alongwith water sprayers. There is a small children park for sliding, swinging. You can sit, have snacks, can do shopping of Sri Sri branded products, and buy ayurvedic medicines with nadi pariksha. 3 to 4 hours is sufficient time to spend if you are going with with family.

Beautiful place ! ❤️ There are Gurukul, vishalakshi mantapam, small temple are situated. One day visit to explore the things over there. The place is situated for more than 3-4 acres I believe.

Huge place with a calming ambience with lots of nature and fresh air. Nice place to do some mindfulness practice and take some pics. Can get busy during weekends or if the founder is around in the center.

I'm from Vietnam and I came here for the Silence Program. I had a great experience here. The environment is clean, the air is fresh, the people are friendly, the vibration is peaceful... The Ashram is very contrast with the outside world.

HAPPINESS IS FREE. This is a factual review of my experience. First, I was treated with utmost love and respect and kindness by almost every staff member I met here (especially the ones serving the food!). The grounds are pretty, there is a large building being built and the traffic is not *too* loud. I was told I could stay in the accommodations for free and try a course, so I went to speak at the reception (I was also interested in volunteering). I had to fill out several forms and when I was done, I was informed the "Happiness course" was $440 USD. In the USA, that is a lot of money. In India, you could feed a family for a year. It's just a touristy cult/scam that I wouldn't ever return to or recommend to anyone.

A Calming Green Oasis in Bengaluru Lalbagh Botanical Garden offers a decent escape from the city hustle. I had an "OK" experience, largely thanks to the wonderfully calm and fresh environment. If you're looking for a spot with natural bird sounds to truly cool down and relax your mind, this place is highly recommended. It's a true "lung space" for Bengaluru. A major plus was the e-cycle ride, which is a fantastic way to cover the vast garden expanse. The rental seemed to have a flexible pricing, as I saw options for a short ride. I did a ride. We also caught the artificial waterfall near the lake, which operates on a fixed schedule. We saw it running from 6:00 PM to 6:15 PM. It adds a nice, serene touch to the lake area when it's on. My one major feeling was a slight lack of a "zoo" or large animal presence (apart from birds), which I missed—it felt more like a purely botanical experience rather than a nature park with diverse wildlife. However, for a botanical garden, all the basic amenities and facilities are well-maintained. Conclusion ; If you are in Bengaluru, it's definitely worth a visit for a peaceful, nature-filled break and a lovely walk or cycle ride.

Recently visited here — it’s a beautiful and refreshing place to connect with nature. The garden is huge, and it’s quite hard to cover the entire area within an hour. You’ll find ancient, massive trees and a wide variety of plant species, making it a paradise for nature lovers. The garden is well-maintained, with benches for sitting, trash bins placed throughout, and washroom and drinking water facilities available inside. There are also food stalls, a fountain area, and a poly house that add to the experience. The entry fee is ₹50 for adults and ₹20 for children. Plastic bottles are not allowed, which helps keep the place clean. I also visited the nursery, though it was closed due to a festive occasion. It’s a great spot for families, couples, or anyone looking for peace amidst greenery. The calm atmosphere and natural beauty truly make you feel one with nature. 🌿🌸

Lalbagh Botanical Garden is truly a beautiful and serene oasis in the heart of Bangalore. It's a perfect place for nature lovers and photographers, with a stunning variety of plants and a peaceful lake to relax by. The beautiful wooden art scattered around adds a unique charm, blending art with nature effortlessly. Don’t miss the Bonsai Garden, which showcases a fascinating collection of miniature trees that captivate visitors with their delicate beauty. Overall, Lalbagh is one of the best places to visit for a refreshing and inspiring experience.

An Absolute Oasis of Tranquility and Beauty! ​Lalbagh Botanical Garden is more than just a garden; it's the green heart of Bangalore and a true breath of fresh air amidst the city's hustle. This is easily one of the most stunning botanical experiences I've ever had, deserving every one of its five stars. ​The sheer scale and diversity of the flora are breathtaking. You could spend hours wandering the perfectly manicured lawns and discovering exotic plant species. The iconic Glass House is a magnificent architectural marvel, especially when bathed in sunlight, and the massive Lalbagh Rock offers a fantastic view and a quiet spot for reflection. ​The maintenance is impeccable—everything is clean, well-labeled, and thoughtfully arranged.

It’s a perfect spot for morning walks, family picnics, or simply relaxing under the shade of ancient trees. Don't miss the flower shows if you time your visit right! Highly, highly recommended.

Lalbagh Botanical Garden is one of those rare places in Bangalore where time slows down and the city noise fades into the background. The moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by lush greenery, towering trees, and beautifully maintained pathways that make every step feel refreshing. The star attraction, of course, is the iconic Glass House, which looks stunning whether you visit in the quiet mornings or during the flower shows. The variety of plants—from vibrant flowers to rare species—adds so much charm, and you can easily spend hours exploring different corners without even realizing it. What I love most is the peaceful vibe. Whether you're going for a morning walk, photography, or just a break from daily routine, Lalbagh never disappoints. The lake inside the garden is another calming spot, perfect for sitting by the water and watching birds. It can get slightly crowded on weekends, but the garden is big enough to always find a quiet nook for yourself. The entry fee is minimal, and the overall experience feels priceless compared to the serenity you get. Overall, Lalbagh Botanical Garden is a must-visit—beautiful, calming, and truly refreshing. A little green paradise right in the heart of Bangalore.

Overall it was a nice experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the place. Recommended to family and friends. ✨

One of the prettiest garden I have ever visited. So beautiful, peaceful and huge. Our first option was Cubbon Park due to its ratings but when I visited this instead, I was glad. It's really beautiful! The way everything is maintained there is very pleasant. The whole area around this park is so cool due to the trees in the garden. Very less pollution and lot of things to do😍

I had a great experience visiting this place. The topics covered are excellent and very helpful for school students. I noticed many students enjoying their time and engaging with the exhibits. All the units on display are well-maintained, fully functional, and provided a clear understanding of the concepts. The only drawback is the lack of dedicated parking, so I had to use paid parking services nearby. Overall, a very educational and enjoyable visit!

Visvesvaraya Industrial park is an awesome place to visit for kids and adults.. There was not much rush as we entered the park,however as time passed on kids from different schools poured in.. The joy you get while doing the experiments is priceless.. All have explanations written beneath it.. The 3D jungle show is also good.. There is a cafeteria and restroom.. You can also buy souvenirs from there.. Overall a must visit place 😍

Recently, I visited Cubbon Park in Bangalore, and it turned out to be a refreshing escape from the city’s chaos. Spread across around 300 acres, this lush green paradise is truly the “lungs” of the city. The moment I entered, I was welcomed by tall trees, fresh air, and the sound of birds — a rare treat in a busy metro. The good part is definitely the peaceful atmosphere. You’ll see joggers, cyclists, families, and even pet lovers enjoying their time here. The park is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of benches to sit and relax. The State Central Library with its iconic red building inside the park adds a classic charm — perfect spot for photos. It’s also very safe and ideal for morning walks or evening strolls. However, there are a few downsides too. Parking can be a headache on weekends, and sometimes the park gets overcrowded. In a few corners, you might also spot people littering, which slightly ruins the beauty of the place. The park opens from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and I’d suggest the best time to visit is early morning between 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM — when it’s calm, less crowded, and the weather feels amazing. Overall, Cubbon Park is a must-visit for nature lovers, fitness enthusiasts, or anyone looking to take a break from Bangalore’s traffic and noise.

🌿 Sri Chamarajendra Park (Cubbon Park) – A Peaceful Morning Escape in the Heart of Bengaluru! 🌿 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I visited Sri Chamarajendra Park (ಶ್ರೀ ಚಾಮರಾಜೇಂದ್ರ ಉದ್ಯಾನವನ) early in the morning, and it was such a refreshing and peaceful experience.

The best park in Bangalore. Ample space to sit and relax. A lot of people come in to walk, run, play some fun games. Most bring their sheets to sit and spend quality time with their friends and families. Must visit.

Such a peaceful place to spend your weekend with friends and family. You can see a lot of people there but still you will get that privacy for enjoying a good time with your baby or your loved ones. There are some do's and dont's mentioned in the front area like no outside food, no playing, no gathering of more than 20 people etc so read before you enter. No entrance fee. Paid parking is there.

I’m from Tamil Nadu, and for almost 3 years I had a deep wish to visit the ISKCON Temple in Bangalore. Finally, life gave me the chance—and the moment I stepped in, it truly felt divine. The temple is beautiful, calm, and peaceful beyond words. The architecture, the chants, and the positive energy around make it a perfect place to find inner peace. The environment is very well maintained, and the devotees are humble and welcoming. You can feel a sense of calmness the moment you enter. It’s not just a temple—it’s an experience that touches your heart. 💫 Very beautiful and peaceful temple — everyone must visit this place at least once in their life. 🙏🤍😇

It was a truly mesmerising day when I decided to visit the ISKCON temple over the weekend. As I approached the temple, I could feel the spiritual energy enveloping the atmosphere, despite the crowd of devotees that had gathered. The intricate architecture of the white temple stood out beautifully against the blue sky, and the sounds of chanting filled the air, creating a serene yet lively ambience. Inside, the aroma of fresh flowers and incense wafted through the halls, enhancing the sacred experience. People of all ages were engaged in prayer and meditation, their faces reflecting a deep sense of peace and devotion. I found solace in the rhythmic chants and the uplifting energy that pervaded the space. The sense of community among the visitors was palpable, and I felt connected to something much larger than myself. It was a day filled with tranquillity and a profound sense of purity, making me grateful for the opportunity to be there.

Nice place to worship Lord Krishna. Very well connected with metro and Bengaluru buses. In temple, darshan facilities, food & water facilities are good. Overall very good arrangements,cleanliness and nice experience. Only thing is no special feeling. It's like visiting any other temple. Maybe because temple is surrounded by big buildings; so not giving that divine vibes where we tries to connect with God with peace.

I recently visited the ISKCON Temple in Bengaluru, and honestly, it left me feeling peaceful and refreshed in a way I didn’t expect. The moment you walk in, the calmness just hits you. The place is beautifully built, super clean, and has this soothing atmosphere that makes you slow down and breathe a little deeper. The sound of “Hare Krishna” chants playing continuously in the background creates such a positive vibe — it’s something you actually feel, not just hear. The evening aarti was easily the best part of my visit. Watching it in person, with the lights, music, and devotion in the air, felt incredibly grounding and comforting. The whole temple is very well managed, and the volunteers are genuinely kind and helpful — something you really appreciate when the place is this busy. There’s also a prasadam hall, a food court with really tasty sattvic food, and a nice little shop with books and souvenirs. Everything is neatly maintained and adds to the overall experience. If you’re in Bengaluru, I’d say this is definitely a place you shouldn’t miss. Whether you’re going for prayer, peace, or just to see something beautiful, you’ll walk out with a lighter heart and a calmer mind.

The chants of Hare Krishna and the devotional music create such a divine vibe. Watching the evening aarti was honestly the highlight of my visit it felt so spiritual and soothing.

If you’re in Bengaluru, ISKCON is a must-visit whether you go for spiritual peace, prayer, or just to admire the stunning architecture. You’ll definitely leave feeling calm and refreshed. 🙏✨

This place is serene and calm atmosphere to enlighten the spiritual experience within you. It is well connected with all public transport as it is located in the heart of the city. If you're driving a four wheeler then parking charges of 40 rupees collected. You shall easily spend an hour or three including the shopping of artifacts and other devotional items inside the temple premises. Multiple vaishnavaite deities are present here. Everything is maintained near and clean. An artificial waterfall and a lake add more charm to this place. This place is getting upgraded with more infrastructure as the construction is going on as well.

Highly recommended for families, tourists, and anyone seeking a refreshing break from the busy city life.

It is a very spiritual and peaceful place. A very good temple to visit with family and friends. The atmosphere is divine and gives a positive energy. Some suggestions for improvement: Currently, the entry fees are accepted only in cash. It would be better if they start accepting UPI or digital payments, as it is convenient for many visitors. Also, they often ask for exact change, which is difficult sometimes. In case of emergencies, it would be good if the management allows devotees to exit easily. For example, one parent’s kid was crying but they did not allow them to leave quickly and insisted on following the full queue. Since they are collecting entry fees, they should provide better services and facilities for devotees. Some of the management staff have a rude attitude, which can be improved to make devotees feel more welcomed. Overall, it is a must-visit spiritual place, but these small improvements can make the experience even better.

Heard about this place a lot so went on 5th oct 25 with family. The parking area was covered but still slushy due to overnight rains. We had to wade through the slush. Though entry fee was rupees 20 but no staff was available hence we entered free. The temple was maintained well. The siva lingams were placed in a orderly manner and pathway was built to access all the lingams. On the biggest lingam honeybees have built their honeycomb. Photo attached. Anyone can keep a lingam in their name after paying rupees 8000 for small one, 35000 for a bigger one and more than a lac for giant size siva lingam. A small pooja will be conducted then a space is allotted for your lingam. Drawback was they do not accept gpay or credit card or debit card only cash. This issue needs to be addressed by the temple authorities. They should not expect devotees to bring this much amount of cash. Infact for using toilet facilities the person collects rupees 5 per head via gpay though the toilet was nasty. The authorities must reign up the contractor. Overall a must visit place but take good amount of cash if you want to keep a lingam there.

Worthy of a one time visit only. Lots of various hindu deities within the complex, beside the 'koti' (meaning crore/ten million) shivlings spread across the place. Serene and peaceful yet this place is by no means a temple for offering prayers. It's clearly made out to be more of a tourist attraction. Starting from paid parking, entry fee of ₹20/- per person, directed visitors in a sequence to confront various hindu deities where the pujari's give you extra attention if one offers money. Better yet, these 'pujaris' coax every visiting individual to 'offer' money for 'blessings'. If one doesn't give/offer money, they grumble and show a care less attitude. Personally dissappointed and not likely to visit this place ever again. I reiterate, this place is more of a tourist attraction, not exactly a place of worship. Accordingly, go mentally prepared when visiting this place.

Temple is very good. Road is also nice to drive if you by Bangalore-Chennai expressway. The only thing which I did not like was at the entrance many transgenders who would demand money from everyone. Other thing is unnecessary forcing people through all the small temples in a queue. Rest all things are very nice and energy there is astonishing. Pujari told there was Brihma temple as well which is second only after Pushkar ji.

I had a wonderful experience visiting Kotilingeshwara Temple with my family. Being surrounded by countless Shiv lingas was truly mesmerizing and made me feel incredibly blessed. The spiritual atmosphere, coupled with the temple’s unique beauty, created memories I’ll cherish forever. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace and divine blessings!

Kotilingeshwara Temple, located in Kamasandra near Kolar (about 90 km from Bangalore), is a unique and significant spiritual site. The name "Kotilingeshwara" translates to "Lord of a Crore (10 million) Lingas", symbolizing devotion and the massive scale of the temple's spiritual ambition. The main attraction is the 108-foot-tall Shiva Linga, one of the tallest in the world, accompanied by a 35-foot Nandi statue. Surrounding it are over 90 lakh (9 million) small Shivalingas, installed by devotees over the years. According to a priest there, around 10 lakh more need to be installed to reach the goal of 1 crore (10 million) Lingas, which is the temple's namesake and vision. The temple complex also houses shrines for many other deities such as Ganesha, Hanuman, Annapoorneshwari, Vishnu, and others, making it a multi-deity pilgrimage spot. That said, the experience feels over-commercialized. There's a mandatory ₹20 entrance fee, and almost every shrine has people expecting or insisting on donations, even for a simple darshan. Especially at the Annapoorneshwari shrine, visitors are pressured to donate ₹100 or ₹200 in exchange for a packet of vibhuti, which many may find forceful or inappropriate. Overall, it’s a fascinating temple to visit for its scale and symbolism, but be prepared for repeated donation requests and a very money-minded environment.

Recently visited the place early morning from Bangalore, the road is so good for a road trip. The timing of temple opening mentioned on google is wrong, it doesn’t open at 6 am it does at 7:30 am so plan your travel accordingly. There is ample parking space around the temple, footwear stands are available and some local shops around the temple. The entry ticket is Rs 20 per adult, kids below six years have free entry. The temple allows only traditional dress code for men and women, and phones are allowed inside the temple premises. There are many small temples inside of different deities along with all the lingams. There are many temple area is huge and takes at least an hour to visit fully. The views are mesmerising and definitely worth visiting at least once in your lifetime!

Nice lounge.. they also serve liquor which is chargeable. Food options are available. They also have live counter for dosa and parantha which is a nice add on. Their tea collection is really very nice. I loved their Kahwa dip tea which i haven't seen anywhere else till date. They also serve filter coffee which is very authentic in taste. Washrooms are also inside the premises. It's good for a stopover and get some snacks and drinks. Staff is nice too.

Good place to stay before departure, if you hold a credit card which has good weight then your entry will be free. Food section is above average, dessert is good.

This is the best lounge at Bengaluru airport. Lots of options available for all to choose and have it before the departure for destinations.

One of the best lounge across India. Variety of food and ambience are too good. Only thing i dislike about this lounge is, they allow us inside only before 3 hours from departure time.

They take the efforts to decorate the premise as per festival season prevailing. Great ambience and ease of access, unlike other lounge situated at Kempagowda International Airport. The variety of cuisine available is also adequate. The staff is courteous and respectful. The area is neat and tidy. Definite pit stop if you have enough time in your hand before your flight.

Its one of good lounge in domestic airport

Entry allowed 3 hours before the flight. They charge 1500 INR per person, if you don't have a complementary pass. Very crowded. Complementary food available 24 hrs. Their breakfast spread is excellent. Have live counters for dosa items and egg. Self service. Alcoholic beverages to be purchased.

This place is situated near Nandi Hills. Great location and sceneries are really beautiful. We can do wine tasting here. If they have a system to check whether you are over 21+ for wine testing, it would have been a smooth process. Plan your visit during grapes season to see the grapes. Otherwise they will not allow. If you ask me the cost is more for just seeing the winery process. It is not a big area they are covering.

We had a fantastic experience at Grover Zampa Vineyard! The winery tour was informative, giving us a behind-the-scenes look at the winemaking process. The wine tasting session was delightful, with a great selection of wines to savour. Grape stomping was a fun and unique experience, adding to the charm of the visit. The food was excellent, perfectly complementing the wines. We absolutely loved the ambience—peaceful vineyard, a relaxed setting, and great hospitality. A must-visit for wine lovers and anyone looking for a perfect day out! 🍷✨

Wine and food are good. But if you seat outside in the lawn, the severe cowdung smell from the adjoining cow-shed will surely ruin the atmosphere. Something I recommend the management to take care of.

Recommend Grover Zampa for wine enthusiasts keen to understand wine making and taste the samples. A good to visit destination for an enjoyable day Understand the wine making process of sorting, crushing, fermentation, ageing, bottling, labelling and packaging of wine bottles and barrel room. The best part is the wine tastings sessions which is very informative about types of wine and how choose the wine. Good and unique experience for a half day visit

I always had in mind to visit the vineyard and finally got the chance in Bangalore... It was a great experience, got to know so many things about wine.. How it's made, how to choose as well as enjoy having it... Sonali was our tour guide for the day, she explained everything so well and we really enjoyed the tour. Wine tasting was fantastic where I get to taste 6 varities.. We had our lunch there, mini pizza platter and prawns, delicious fresh food.. Bought some amazing wines too.. Wanted to visit the grape fields as well but couldn't as this isn't the season for it.. May be next for time..

Had an incredible experience at Grover Zampa Winery! The wine tour was enlightening, showcasing the winemaking process from vine to bottle. The variety of wines offered during the tasting was impressive, each sip telling a unique story of craftsmanship. The knowledgeable staff added a personal touch, answering all our questions with enthusiasm. The picturesque vineyard views provided a serene backdrop, enhancing the overall ambiance. Additionally, the food pairing was exquisite, complementing the wines perfectly. The culinary delights elevated the tasting experience, making it a delightful gastronomic journey. Highly recommend Grover Zampa for wine enthusiasts seeking a blend of education, tasteful wines, and gastronomic pleasure. A must-visit destination for an enriching and enjoyable day! 🍇🍷🍴

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Grover Zampa Vineyards, and it was an experience to remember. Located in the picturesque hills of Nandi, this vineyard offers a beautiful blend of scenic beauty and world-class wines. The vineyard's setting is absolutely stunning. Surrounded by lush greenery, the location itself is a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. The vineyard tour provides an educational yet enjoyable experience, giving insights into the winemaking process, right from grape cultivation to the final bottling The wine tasting session was a highlight of the visit. Grover Zampa offers a diverse range of wines, each with its unique flavor profile. The tasting included their signature varieties such as the Art Collection Sauvignon Blanc, La Réserve, and the Vijay Amritraj Reserve Collection. The sommeliers were knowledgeable and passionate, making the experience even more enriching. Restaurant is good and food is tasty. One thing which I observed is the lady brought plates on the table was doing cleaning and moping some time back at same place.

I recently visited the Sri Bhoga Nandishwara Temple, one of the historic and beautiful temples in the region. The temple’s architecture is impressive, with intricate carvings and a peaceful atmosphere. There are two Shiva Lingas inside, and the temple holds great spiritual significance. There is no entry fee to visit, but parking charges are around ₹50. Anna Prasadam is also available, which is simple and satisfying. Washroom facilities are available outside the temple premises for visitors’ convenience. Overall, it’s a must-visit place for those who appreciate history, architecture, and spirituality.

Visiting Sri Bhoga Nandishwara Gudi near Nandi Hills was a peaceful and spiritually refreshing experience. The temple is beautifully built, with intricate stone carvings and stunning Dravidian-style architecture that reflect centuries of craftsmanship. The atmosphere inside is calm and serene — you can really feel a deep sense of devotion and history here.The temple complex is well-maintained, with lush gardens and a sacred pond that adds to its charm. It’s not just a place of worship but also a spot where you can sit quietly and soak in the beauty and energy of the surroundings. Watching the play of light on the old stone walls and listening to the chants from devotees made the visit truly special. It’s a must-see if you love ancient temples, architecture, or simply want a peaceful escape near Nandi Hills.

Bhoga Nandeeshwara Temple is located at the base of Nandi Hills, around 60 km from Bangalore. It’s easily accessible by road, and most visitors combine it with a trip to Nandi Hills. There is parking available near the temple, making it convenient for travelers.

Photography is allowed, but visitors are advised to be respectful of rituals and devotees. Overall Experience: Bhoga Nandeeshwara Temple is a must-visit for history lovers, architecture enthusiasts, and spiritual seekers. It’s less crowded than Nandi Hills itself, allowing for a more peaceful experience, and the detailed carvings and serene surroundings make it a memorable visit.

An historical temple also still functional. Beautiful architecture is an understatement. A must visit place when you are visiting Nandhi hills. They do allow marriage ceremony to take place in the temple premises. Most of the structure are getting damaged due to lack of proper security and government negligence I hope they will do something to maintain this beautiful temple.

The Bhoga Nandishwara Temple, built around 800 CE, is a historical architectural marvel with intricate stone carvings and expansive grounds.

The Lepakshi is a perfect blend of spirituality, history, and architectural brilliance. Every corner of the temple is filled with intricate carvings that tell stories from mythology, and the craftsmanship is simply outstanding.

A historical temple built in Vijaynagar style. Intricate rock carvings adorn the entire temple complex which has manin Veerbhadra temple, a Shivling and a Shri Ganesh statue. This all is buil from rock, mostly single piece carving. On the walls you can see Ramayan, Samudra Manthan, and daily life of king's court, dance, etc. Beautifully carved. The world famous hanging pillar is an architectural marvel. Tourist are seen passing a thin cloth under it without getting stuck. Parking is limited, pay and free. Toilets available but in ok shape. Drinking water available near garden. Good for 1 day trip from Bengaluru. Government must take some steps to stop encroachment of area near the temple as some 'peaceful community' pests have tried encroaching near the boundary wall. Their children deface the compund every now and then.

We can still see evidence of the authenticity of the Ramayana here today. In the Ramayana's Treta Yuga, the Jatayu dev intercepted Ravana after he abducted Mother Sita. Ravana subsequently killed the Jatayu dev, who then came here in a frozen condition. It is located 100 km from Bangalore, which you can reach within 2-3 hours from there. You can get the facilities of both train or bus, To come here, you can come from Hindupur and take an auto or bus to Lepakshi Temple, which is located 15 km away. Here you will be amazed by the alphabets, pictures, designs, and various crafts carved on the stones in the temple. Moreover, the hanging pillars here are very famous. Photos of the main temple Even though video recording is prohibited, you can easily capture your moments outdoors with your camera. There is a huge footprint here, believed by many to be that of Mother Sita. In addition, traces of ancient architecture are still visible today. Outside the temple, you will find the palace, toilets, and parking facilities. You can enter the temple from two sides.

The peaceful surroundings make it ideal for a quiet retreat. Visit early morning or late afternoon to beat the heat. Parking is easy, and nearby eateries offer tasty Andhra cuisine. Perfect for history lovers and culture seekers—set aside 2–3 hours to explore this treasure!

I drove from Bangalore to visit Lepakshi Temple, and it was absolutely worth the trip! The drive itself was smooth and scenic, and reaching the temple felt like stepping back in time. The architecture and carvings are stunning—especially the hanging pillar and the giant Nandi statue, which are a must-see. The temple complex is peaceful, not overly crowded, and gives you plenty of time to soak in the history and beauty. It’s a great spot for a one-day trip from Bangalore if you enjoy history, culture, and a bit of road travel. Overall, a wonderful experience that I’d definitely recommend!

Lepakshi Temple, officially the 16th‑century Veerabhadra Swamy Temple, stands on Kurmasaila (“tortoise hill”) near the Karnataka–Andhra Pradesh border and showcases the pinnacle of Vijayanagara‑era architecture . Its verdant setting, intricate frescoes, gravity‑defying hanging pillar, and one of India’s largest monolithic Nandi statues combine to create an unforgettable cultural and spiritual experience. This place is accessible via a short detour from National Highway 44 . Ample parking is available for cars and buses at a nominal fee (around ₹80), which also covers entry to the nearby Jatayu Theme Park—simply retain your receipt to avoid double paying . Weekday mornings tend to be the least crowded, offering quieter exploration of the complex No formal entry fee applies to the temple itself, but the combined parking charge is well‑spent given the site’s historical importance and maintained facilities . Carry water, hats, and sunscreen, especially if visiting between April and June, when temperatures can soar . Guides and local priests often offer insightful commentary on the temple’s iconography for a small donation—highly recommended for first‑time visitors . Among the temple’s 70 exquisitely carved granite pillars stands the famed “hanging pillar,” which leaves a small gap—just enough to slip paper or cloth underneath—between its base and the floor, baffling architects for centuries. Local legend attributes this marvel to divine intervention, while scientific surveys have marveled at the precision of its load‑distribution design .

Visited Lepakshi today – overall a great experience. The temple architecture is stunning and rich in history. Not very crowded, which made it peaceful and easy to explore without any rush. Ideal for those interested in photography, heritage sites, or just a calm weekend ride. However, toilet facilities are a major drawback. Clean restrooms are hard to find nearby, especially for families or long stays. Would recommend carrying essentials and planning accordingly

It is a very beautiful place, it is located 110 km away from Bangalore. You can reach here in 2-3 hours. Both bus and train facilities are available here.There is a Nandi statue here which represents the craftsmanship of ancient history. It is located about 1 km away from the Lepakshi Temple. Moreover, although there is a toilet facility here, it is currently unusable.

Puttaparthi railway station is just 8 km away . It is a very good peaceful place .the morning breakfast price was 8rupees and Lunch price was 15 Rupees only and the room rent was per day 40rupees

God own place. Abode of peace. Meals for cheap. Good things done. All religions respected . Free hospital.

Compound area and temple is really peaceful and neatly kept, however they don't allocate rooms to single devotees and the dorms are not different for men and women, it is common and no bedding is provided. Also, way too dirty. Food is fine but ofcourse chargeable.

*Om Sri Sai Ram* Hey hi guys, This is Prasanth Gupta ( Instagram I'd :- @Solo_travelleer ). --> The word prashanthi means peace. --> One of the most peaceful places on the earth. --> One of the largest places for meditation. --> the place came by the Saint Satya Sai Baba.

Prashanthi Nilayam is the main ashram of Sri Sathya Sai Baba in Puttaparthi, meaning "Abode of the Highest Peace". It is a spiritual center with a main ashram, Sai Kulwant Hall, residential complexes, and allied institutions, attracting thousands of spiritual seekers globally. A "5 marks" topic likely refers to a short answer question on its purpose, location, and significance, focusing on its role as a spiritual headquarters and destination for devotees.

Spiritual place with neat, clean and lush green campus. Lots of volunteers around and are very helpful. Separate space for ladies and gents for darshan as well as food. Food minimally priced served all 3 times a day. One can also stay here for a minimal priced accommodation.

First time as I visited very nice and peaceful place very silent. Satya saibaba bajans, slokams, many more very nice and the free darshan and free food very good food also very good he is good person also good visit.

Visited Belum Caves, and it was an incredible experience! These natural limestone caves are truly a hidden gem in Andhra Pradesh. The formations inside are absolutely fascinating — from the "Thousand Hoods" to the Musical Chamber, every part of the cave had something unique to offer. One of my favorite spots was the Meditation Hall, which gave a peaceful and almost spiritual vibe. Walking through the long, winding passages felt like stepping back in time. The Patalaganga stream deep inside the cave was another highlight — it's amazing how water still flows there! The temperature inside was a bit warm and humid, so it’s best to wear light clothes and carry water. I also appreciated how well-maintained the place was, with guides and signboards helping visitors understand the cave’s history and geology. If you love nature, adventure, or just want to explore something offbeat, I highly recommend visiting Belum Caves. It’s one of those places that make you appreciate how mysterious and powerful nature can be.

This is known to be the second largest cave, and it's truly a remarkable place to visit if you enjoy exploring natural wonders. Parking is available for a fee, and the site is fairly well-managed. Inside the cave, the formations are stunning, but be prepared for a long walk. The path can be slippery and muddy in parts in some areas, the mud can even cover half your leg, so wear appropriate footwear and tread carefully. It's also hot and humid inside, which adds to the sense of adventure. The entry and exit are through the same point, and you're free to click as many photos as you'd like. There’s also a professional photographer available inside if you're interested in getting a photo taken. Some parts of the cave are well-lit, while a few sections are slightly dark, adding to the cave's natural mystery. I personally loved the experience. A must-visit for cave enthusiasts and adventure seekers!

Belum Caves is undoubtedly one of India’s most fascinating natural wonders — a long stretch of underground limestone formations that really show how incredible nature can be. However, the experience itself leaves a lot to be desired in terms of management and basic facilities. First and foremost, carry sufficient cash for your tickets and small expenses. The online network here is extremely poor, and most of the time, the QR or digital payment systems simply don’t work. Many visitors are left struggling at the counter trying to make UPI payments that don’t go through. Once inside, there’s drinking water available, which is good because you’ll need it — the cave is very humid and warm as you go deeper inside. It can get quite uncomfortable after a while, so wearing light clothes and good footwear helps. You’ll also notice quite a few bats in some sections — they don’t really bother you, but it can be unsettling for some visitors. Sadly, the signage inside the caves is minimal and confusing. There are long stretches without any clear direction or information, so you’re often left guessing which way to go or what you’re looking at. To make things worse, no guides are available, which is a real disappointment because a place this unique deserves proper storytelling and supervision. Facilities outside are in poor shape — there are no functioning toilets, and the nearby restaurant has been closed for some time. AP Tourism really needs to step up its management here, as the infrastructure is not up to the mark for what could easily be a top-tier tourist attraction. The surroundings are quite empty, with very few visitors, which gives it a deserted feel. On the way from the parking area to the ticketing counter, you’ll also find a few beggars, which is unfortunate and adds to the sense of neglect. Overall, while the caves themselves are extraordinary and worth seeing once for their sheer natural beauty and geological importance, the poor upkeep, lack of amenities, and absence of guidance make it a place you visit more for curiosity than comfort. With better management, Belum Caves could truly shine as one of Andhra Pradesh’s best natural attractions — but as of now, go prepared, go patient, and definitely go with cash in hand.

I recently went on an amazing trip to a spot that completely blew me away! 🤩 The views were absolutely breathtaking, and I couldn't stop taking pictures of the stunning landscape.🏞️ I spent the whole day exploring, and every corner held a new surprise that made me love it. It's a must-visit destination for anyone who appreciates beauty and adventure.😍 I'm already dreaming of my next visit to this remarkable place!✈️

Very good experience. All family members enjoyed it. Government is maintaining it well. Lights and fans are kept in good spots so that there is a balance of natural and comfort while exploring the caves. But, many visitors are spoiling it by throwing empty water bottles and footwear everywhere. Plan to go in shorts as there is a lot of clay mud on the way and should walk without any footwear (maybe this depends on the weather when you go).

Belum Caves are a breathtaking natural wonder, offering an unforgettable adventure experience. Located in Andhra Pradesh, these caves are the second-largest in the Indian subcontinent, stretching over 3,229 meters in length and 120 meters in depth. The caves feature stunning stalactite and stalagmite formations, spacious chambers, and ancient carvings of Lord Buddha and Jain saints. Marvel at the unique stalactite and stalagmite structures, including the mesmerizing 16-row maze and the Saptasvarala Guha, a musical chamber where limestone formations produce musical sounds when tapped. Discover remnants of ancient civilizations, including Buddhist and Jain monks who occupied the caves centuries ago. The Archaeological Survey of India has found evidence of human habitation dating back to 4500 BC.Explore the labyrinthine passages, galleries, and caverns, and venture into the depths of the caves, including the Patalganga, a perennial underground stream. Plan your visit during the light summer season (July to September) to avoid extreme temperatures. carry water, and avoid visiting during rainy seasons when the caves can be muddy and slippery.

The geological formations are truly unique. Inside the caves, it can get very hot and humid, so it’s best to be prepared. It takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to explore the caves fully. After the visit, you can rest outside—there are proper seating arrangements and shaded areas under trees, which offer a nice break. There’s also a small snack outlet nearby. And yes, the deeper sections of the cave can feel a little scary—but that just adds to the adventure! Entry is ticketed, and there’s ample parking space available. The restroom facilities were good, and the lady managing them kindly helped us store our luggage. While food options nearby are limited, you can find a few small outlets along the way. They've made a lot of things in terms of ventilation and lighting, but many of these systems are now malfunctioning or have completely broken down due to prolonged neglect and lack of maintenance.

You will be amazed to see such a temple ! I'm blessed to visit this temple, where we can witness amazing architecture, and nandi, which is growing year on year. Also the Venkateswara temple next to this, is also great.

Yaganti is located about 80 kms off the NH near Kurnool. The Uma Maheswara Temple is built by the Vijayanagara Kings in the 16th century. The place is surrounded by hills and is surreal. The drive takes you through hills and ravines and is an adventure in itself... worth the drive. We really enjoyed the beauty of the place and its history... legend says that Sage Bramha and Sage Agastya meditated in the caves surrounding the Temple. A must visit with family to understand our Rich culture and history.

Very Beautiful devotional place. surrounded by beautiful hills. beat time to visit in Morning or evening. Good Parking space available. Restroom available. Food stalls and other shops available. must visit place.

Excellent temple, No crow is to be seen with in the premises as cursed by the great sage Agastya muni. 3 caves for Agastya muni, Venkateshwara swamy and Vishnu cave which needs some effort to climb all the stairs. Basavanna seems to be growing inch by inch as prophesised by Srimadvirat Pothuluri veera bhramendra swamy varu.

A wonderful ancient temple where you feel the vibe. The temple pond is there to chill before darshan. The caves were very cool even during the mid hot day.

The location of temple is picturesque. Lord Umamaheswara lingam looks very different!!! The trek to sri Venkateshwara Swamy temple is beautiful!!! Enjoy the nature's Beauty along with spiritual connections....

Yaganti temple is very old and historical temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Inside the Garbhagruha, if closely observed, you can see both Uma (Parvathi) and Maheswara (Shiva) images on Lingam, thats why the name Uma Maheswara. We can touch the Lingam if we take special ticket for abhishekam and perform the abhishekam with our own hands. Inside the temple is very calm and peaceful, we can even do the meditation. There is a water pond inside the temple where the water flow continuously, not sure where it comes from. The main attraction of the temple is the Basavanna (Bull), who is growing every year. There are many historical caves around this temple, Dont miss to visit them.

One of the must-visit places when you're in Srisailam. It's hard to describe the experience — from the moment the journey began, it was a visual treat with breathtaking views throughout. The caves are naturally formed and truly fantastic. The place is calm and peaceful.

One of the historical place at Sreesailam.It is believed that the famous 12th century philosopher and lyricist from Karnataka, Akka Mahadevi did penance and offered prayers to a Shivalingam that was naturally existent deep inside the very same cave. The trip is being operated from pathalaganga by APTDC. you need to be there before 9.30 AM,First you had to take tickets for the ropeway and they will ask if you are going to akkamahadevi caves they will write your name and have to give how much members are accompanied with us. You will be taken to the river bank by rope way,from there we had to wait to take ticketst for boating towards the cave. Had to give adhar number & mobile number of the booking person there . Almost 10.30 they will allow to enter the boat.. It takes almost one hour journey through krishna river to reach the cave. During boat ride, we could enjoy the nature, green hills and river (Krishna). The guide is none other than the person who drives the boat and takes us inside the cave and briefs about the cave. You need to bend and crawl inside the cave as the height is short inside. You could see sacred Shiva Linga inside the caves as water drops from the top fells over the linga as it is considered as natural dhara (stream)and you could touch linga and pray. This is where akka mahadevi did her meditation to win over lord shiva. It takes almost a half day , so had to keep enough food & water .

Great experience with the place and follow the instructions from the guide and visit the temple. Above 100kg or fatty persons are unable to go inside the cave because it is very small and unable to breathe if more than one person enters into it And try to avoid carrying the children's age below 4 yr's into the caves. Because they are unable to breathe inside the caves. Thank you.

The journey to the caves is relaxing and scenic. The caves in themselves have an aura of stillness and calm. Have the darshana of the linga within. The mystic saint Akkamahadevi meditated at this spot and it's evident why. A must see if you visit Srisailam.

The Akkamahadevi Caves' history is intertwined with the 12th-century saint and philosopher Akka Mahadevi, a prominent figure in the Veerashaiva Bhakti movement. The caves, located in the Nallamalai Hills of Kurnool, are believed to be where she performed penance and worshipped a naturally occurring Shivalingam deep within the main cave. While the caves are naturally formed and have ancient geological origins, their significance is rooted in this religious and spiritual connection to Akka Mahadevi. The Caves and Akka Mahadevi Akka Mahadevi: The 12th-century poet and philosopher, Akka Mahadevi, was a leader of the Veerashaiva Bhakti movement, a spiritual quest focused on devotion to Lord Shiva. Penance: According to legend, Akka Mahadevi performed deep meditation and penance in these very caves, worshipping a naturally formed Shivalingam. Spiritual Journey: The caves are located in Kadali, the area near Srisailam, where her spiritual journey culminated in her union with Shiva. Geological and Historical Significance Ancient Formation: The caves themselves are naturally formed rock caves, considered to be of prehistoric or even ancient age. Geographical Marvel: The main cave features a naturally formed, unsupported rock arch, a geological wonder that draws visitors. Location: They are situated in the Nallamalai Hills, near the upstream of the Krishna River, and are part of the Nagarjunsagar-Srisailam Tiger Reserve. Modern Day Pilgrimage Site: The caves are a significant pilgrimage destination, attracting tourists and devotees. Narrow Entrance: To reach the Shivalingam, visitors must enter a cramped, dark tunnel, sometimes requiring them to crawl, adding to the cave's unique experience. Forest Surroundings: The area is surrounded by a highly biodiverse forest, offering a rich ecological experience along with the spiritual one.

Nice place for them who wants some peaceful and natural friendly place. You will definitely wonder to see the Shivling in the caves, it is so amazing.
