SrI:

Dear Sri Nrusimha BhakthAs :

A good friend shared his experiences on 
traveling to Ahobilam via TaLappAkkam .

I think this information would be useful
to thsoe who plan on trips to Ahobilam
during the upcoming ChAthurmAsyam 
season .

" Pranams!

Recently, I had the bhagyam of visiting Ahobilam on Narasimha
chaturdasi day. We (my son and I) hired a Toyota INNOVA (car-van) from
Hyderabad; we started at 7:15 am on May 17th, and reached Ahobilam at
12:45 pm after stopping for lunch in Allagadda). Ahobilam is located
25 km (from Allagadda)interior from Hyderabad- Tirupati Highway. From
Ahobilam, we started on May 20th at 7 am and reached Tallapaka (Sri
Annamacharya's birth place on the way to Tirupati) and reached
Tallapaka by 10:30 am after stopping for breakfast in Cudupha and
briefly stopping by in Vontimitta. We attended the opening cermony of
the 600th birth anniversary of Annamacharya; There is a new 108 feet
tall vigraham of Annamacharya, and  a new Sri Venkateswara swamy
temple nearby. The vigraham and this new temple are located on (very
close to) the highway on the way to Rajampet (not in the exact
Tallapaka village) approximately 10 to 15 km from village of
Vontimitta. On the way to Tallapaka, we stopped at a very ancient Sri
Rama temple in Vontimitta. The great Telugu Poet Potana has dedicated
Telugu version of Srimath Bhagavatham to Lord Sri Rama at this Temple.
We started at 1:00 pm in Tallapaka and reached Tirupati by 3:00 pm (as
there was not much traffic). In short, it takes less than 5 hrs by car
from Tirupati to go to Ahobilam. Please don't miss the site of 108
feet tall beautiful vigraham of Sri Annamacharya. At least for this,
road travel is well worth it.

In Ahobilam, Sri BadriNarayan swamy the manager of Malola guest house
was very corteous and helpful. The 15 km, 1500 rupees jeep ride, to go
to Sri Pavana Narasimha swamy temple, is a very rough rough, but well
worth it.  Sri Bargava Narasimha is accessible by auto ride (rough
ride). The trekking to Jwala and Malola is very very worth it, but
make sure to find when the priest would be available in Jwala. We were
very lucky that we could attend the abhishekam of Sri Jwala Narasimha
Swamy. After performing the puja, the same priest goes to Malola. We
took the guide suggested by the manager; The guide is necessary or
trekking as he would know the easiest path. The other five are easily
accessible on the way to Jwala or Pavana. Sri Badari swamy (mANAGER)
provided all the info. 
 
Jai Sriman Narayana. With all glories to Lord Sri Venkateswara, I remain, "
