Located nearly 180 kilometres from Srisailam, the Akka Mahadevi Caves are naturally formed caves with a shrine that is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The caves are named after Akka Mahadevi who was a notable Kannada poet, saint and philosopher of the 12th century who came here in seclusion to perform penance and to pray to Lord Shiva. The Shivlingam seen here is naturally formed and is one of the most significant idols in the region.

The journey to the cave is one of the highlights of the trip. You can take a boat ride from Patala Ganga and sail upstream along the meandering Krishna river to reach a ferry station from where a small hike takes you to the caves. The luscious view of the Nallamala hills, even during the boat rides and the hike, are captivating to say the least and if you love hiking and nature trails, this places offers a serene getaway for sure! The caves themselves are carved for over a million years and apart from the shrine, not much is touched here- there are no shops around and no eateries as well. The naturally formed arch that is 200 feet long and 16 feet high, grooves that looks like they are carved thoughtfully and beautiful pillars that complete the picture, makes this place a loved photography spot as well!
