Pathala Ganga, situated approximately 1 km from the Mallikarjuna Swamy Temple in Srisailam, is a sacred stretch of the Krishna River. Devotees descend around 500 steps or take a ropeway to reach the riverbanks, where they perform ritualistic baths believed to cleanse sins. The ropeway offers panoramic views of the surrounding hills and the Srisailam Dam's backwaters. Boating services are available, providing serene rides on the river and access to the nearby Akkamahadevi Caves. The tranquil environment and spiritual significance make Pathala Ganga a vital part of the Srisailam pilgrimage. Visitors can reach this site easily from the main temple complex.
