About the trip

Srisailam is home to the Mallikarjuna Swamy temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and also a Shakti Peetha, set on the Krishna river deep in the Nallamala hills. Pilgrims come for darshan, while others visit for the dam and the tiger reserve forest. From Hyderabad the road runs south through Kalwakurthy and Mannanur, then through protected forest with ghat sections.
