Devine place. Powerful God. Never miss if you get opportunity to visit this place. The Day when I went (Saturday) it'd not much crowded and got opportunity to see lard Siva so close and spent couple of minutes in front of God. The feeling can't be expressed. You need to experience it.
Washrooms are not clean. Other places are clean. Ample parking for cars and two wheelers. Try to avoid weekend and festival days because this place will be crowded with devotees.

Devotional site 🙏🏻
Lord Shiva 🙏🏻✨🙏🏻... divine place to visit.... excluding the main temple there is a temple situated above the hill...which u have to treck for atleast 1½ hour. Powerful impact of the god 🙏🏻✨...

Try if u can...here are the few snaps of the temple situated above..and the trecking route 🙏🏻

It is located on the hill, so the fresh breeze was too good. The scenery was amazing and u don't have to wait in line for darshanam. Even in free darshanam the line moves quickly without u waiting for hours and get exhausted. So, I hope everyone gets a chance to visit and get the blessings of Lord Shiva in this place.

I am visited in the greatest festival of the year(MAHASHIVRATRI ) that time very very very crowded place and devotional place and good scenario with hills and road.

This place is heaven and most people visiting that time. In the festival time for visiting (waiting) time is very very long.

Main temple is on the fourth floor. There is provision to take lift. Alternately, walk up through a small incline and work few steps you can reach. We visited in a weekday, there was not much crowd. Had the darshan of Lord Shiva leisurely.

From here, you can climb some more steps and visit the huge statue, further up at the top is naga devatha statues. Lot of red faced monkeys in this area. There are many view points to enjoy the scenery.

Dakshina Moorthy temple, Shiva Lingam, Ganesh idol are other places of interest.

Plenty of parking spaces for car. Chhapal stands are available at both places - near lift or walkway. There is an entrance fee at the bottom of the ghat. They charge Rs.30 for cars and progressively increases for bigger vehicles.

You can add this place to your itinerary of you are visiting Chirala or Vijaywada.

You will find this Shivalayam on your trip from Vijayawada to Srisailam.

An amazing detour both religious and refreshing. Lots of parks, specially AP Forest developed green belt is mesmerizing.

A must visit for an ultimate experience of devotion and thrill.

Rudra Shikharam: Old Kotayya temple is located here. This is the first place where Trikoteswara Swamy existed, seeing the great devotion of Devotee Gollabhama, Trikoteswara Swamy came to Brahma Shikharam. Hence it is called Paatha (old) Kotayya Temple.

We visited the temple after Mahashivratri. It's little bit crowdy but we great Darshanam. The view from mountain was pleasant and heartwhelming. Prasadam was tasty and we had overall good experience

Located near Narasaraopet, Guntur district Andhra Pradesh. Temple located in hill station. Feeling blessed, recommending to visit the temple once in a life if possible. The nearest city is Narasaraopet and you will get auto and paid cabs to reach the temple. View from the temple is awesome. If you are willing to visit old temple you have to walk in metal road on the hill station. Recommending young people can walk. We have to keep one day to visit the temple. There is small tiffin centre near temple.

Very popular and powerful temple in coastal Andhra Pradesh. Hill top temple with very good road connection upto main gopuram.

Very nice place to visit for Lord Shiva, the temple on hill with nice view and climate. Its near from Narasarao peta and i went to temple from my friend CA Seethram home at santhamanguluru. we can go on bikes,cars and Share Autos also will be there.

History Of Kottapakonda Temple:

As per the legend, one lady who is the great devotee of Lord Shiva to worship and offering flowers and fruits in this temple. One day the lady coming to the temple, a crow troubled that lady by seeing the fruits. Then the lady got angry and also cursed the crow that it cannot enter the temple premises

Even today also you can see that no crows are present around the temple premises.
Jai bholenath 🙏🙏🙏🙏

High Altitude and Great view from the Top of the Hill(Shiva temple)- It's about 2/3kms from Down temple, Enjoy the Trekking.

Wonderful experience. I have a peaceful darshanam and the place is so beautiful.

Best time to visit after 5pm and before 9AM. Wonderful place to visit. But be aware of monkeys. Thank you.

Kotappa konda abishekam done. Charge for abishekam is RS.1000/-. Lift is available for PH and senior citizens. Due to less rush on Sunday everyone can use lift service. Temple steps are too steep. very hard to walk through steps.
