Mallela Theertham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mallela Theertham is a waterfall located in the Nallamalla Forest in Andhra Pradesh, India. The River Krishna flows through this forest.
It is located around 40 KM from Srisailam and 140 KM from Hyderabad. It is a 8 KM diversion from the main Hyderabad - Srisailam interstate highway.
Where is it located: Mallela Theertham is in the middle of the dense forest. 40 KM before Srisailam, we need to take a turn to the destination and need to drive on a bumpy muddy road which is unmotorable during the rainy season.
Best Time To Visit: From the months of October till February. Water would not be there if visited from March till June. The remaining months are rainy months and very difficult to drive on the muddy road.
The final approach: Need to walk down 350 steps to the stunning water falls amidst dense jungle.
The water is coming from a small rivulet and from this place, it flows through the dense jungle and then meeting the Krishna River upstream.
