Phaladhara-Panchadhara

Must visit place. Holy place! Elders have to be careful while climbing stairs. During rainy season, it can be slippery! Walk slowly with caution.

A nice beautiful small spot. The water is sweet and the atmosphere positive. Surrounded by nature, sit here silently for a while and you'll be at peace. Make sure you take some offerings for the small temple.

Nice place to visit. Shankaracharya visited this place and prayed for Lord Shiva. Not maintained well. Lots of plastic and waste material thrown by visitors. Good place to relax.

The place can be reached by climbing a series of 160 steps.

Be careful while on steps as each and every step is different size.

I recommend everyone to visit this place who goes to srisailam

I love the place and very peaceful... But the photograph person doing overaction there so, avoid him..

Phaladara Panchadara in Srisailam is a serene and picturesque spot nestled amidst the lush greenery of the Nallamala Hills. It is a popular pilgrimage site and a refreshing retreat for nature lovers.

The name "Phaladara Panchadara" translates to "five streams of water," and true to its name, the site is blessed with five natural streams that converge to form a breathtaking waterfall. The cascading waters create a soothing ambiance, perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Visitors can enjoy the scenic beauty of Phaladara Panchadara while taking a leisurely stroll along the well-maintained pathways or picnicking in the shaded areas near the streams. The tranquil atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for meditation and introspection.

The surrounding hills provide a stunning backdrop for photography enthusiasts, offering ample opportunities to capture the beauty of nature in its purest form. Birdwatchers will also delight in spotting various avian species amidst the foliage.

While the journey to Phaladara Panchadara may involve some trekking or driving along winding roads, the destination is well worth the effort. It offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, allowing visitors to connect with nature and experience moments of peace and tranquility.

Very cool and peaceful place.
Don’t miss to visit this place if anyone go to Srīsailam.

The water fall comes direct from the rocks which would tastes like mineral water while visiting carry a empty bottle to fill with the water. No footwear allowed and don't throw anything in the forest

It's a natural waterfall and a must visit place,hardly 30 minutes from Srisalam temple.

You will find lots of organic, natural things there in the shops n can be bought without any hesitation about the quality.

Very nice place. The location is superb from here to see the forest. There are many steps here to go down. The water is coming from hills in all seasons, but till know no body knows from where it's coming. Jagadguru aadi shankaracharya did penance and composed sivanandalahari at this place. There is no toilets here. Shops are available for snacks and children playing items. Management need to provide at least basic needs for devotees. Because always there will be a small crowd here. Even there is no free drinking service here. There is some ayurvedic items are selling for hair strength. Vehicles to be parked at road side only.

It was a nice destination to visit. A little tough walk. Not for anyone with mobility issues.

Steep steps lead to a nice view and a natural stream. Sri Sri Sri Jagadguru Aadishankara aachaarya has a small mandiram here.

The water is so sweet 😇🥰 and the view is amazing 💯

It is place where you have to step down about 150 steps to see 5 different water falls called Panch Dhara. Very nice place it is called the place is belonged with Adi Shankaracharya. Must to visit. It is near by Sri Shilam temple.

Febolus place but not much touristic only one dhara available here that is attraction
Otherwise not any other thing here

Many shopkeeper here sell forest medicine and forest items .

The name Paladhara stands for the stream originating from the forehead of Lord Shiva, as pahal means forehead and dhara means stream.

The name Panchadhara signifies the five aspects of Lord Shiva (Pancha means five and dharma means stream).

With glistening streams of water flowing all round the year amid the lush greenery of forests, Paladhara and Panchadhara create a scene worth remembering. Located in a narrow valley, it can be reached via 160 steps. Bustling area visited regularly by pilgrims, offering 2 waterfalls that are said to taste sweet.

Owing to this, Statues of Sarada Devi and Sri Adi Shankaracharya have been built here.

The place is opened till 5pm .
