Another distinctive and stunning waterfall in Sri Lanka, Pahanthudawa is situated 19 kilometers from Balangoda and around 2 kilometers from the little village of Belihuloya on the A4 road. This waterfall's name derives from its natural setting, both in terms of location and nature. The bottom of the supposedly infinitely deep lake formed by the Panthudawa waterfall is modest yet deep. Its name is derived from the fact that it resembles the wick of a lamp (Pahana – a lamp). Hence, Pahanthudawa Falls is the name given to the waterfall. The flame-like component that is created coupled with the 5 m high waterfall has given it its actual significance. In the Ratnapura District of the Sabaragamuwa Province's Samanalawewa Tourist Zone is where you'll find the Pahanthudawa waterfall.

It is also known locally as "Galagama Ella." Additionally, it is sometimes referred to as "Pahanthuda Ella." This waterfall originates in the "Hawagala" mountain range. Inside are two waterfalls with wonderful views. After that, you can relax your thoughts. Additionally, you could experience anew the wonder of nature. Before it empties into Samanala Wewa Reservoir, this waterfall is the last one that Belihul Oya has to offer.

Rainy Season in Tirupati: What to See and Do During the Monsoon

The monsoon season breathes new life into Tirupati, transforming its hills and landscapes into a lush paradise. While many travelers associate Tirupati solely with its famous temple, the rainy season unveils a different side to this city, revealing scenic waterfalls, misty hills, and tranquil spots perfect for monsoon lovers. If you’re planning a trip to Tirupati during the rains, here’s your guide to making the most of your visit.

1. Marvel at the Mesmerizing Talakona Waterfalls

Where: Talakona Forest, Sri Venkateswara National Park Why Visit: The monsoon season enhances the beauty of Talakona Waterfalls, Andhra Pradesh’s highest waterfall. As water gushes down from a height of 270 feet, the surrounding forest becomes a vibrant green, making the site absolutely stunning. Tips: Wear sturdy, anti-slip shoes as the ground can be slippery. Early mornings are ideal to avoid crowds and enjoy the serene ambiance. Don’t miss the chance to take a short trek around the forest trails, where the rain-soaked greenery and chirping birds create a calming atmosphere.

2. Explore the Greenery of Sri Venkateswara Zoological Park

Where: Alipiri, Tirupati Why Visit: Covering 2,200 acres, the Sri Venkateswara Zoological Park becomes a must-visit in the rainy season. The rain brings the landscape alive, and the animals are more active in the cooler monsoon weather. Tips: Plan your visit on a weekday to avoid crowds. Bring a lightweight rain jacket and use umbrellas for a comfortable experience. The park is home to several species native to the region, such as the Indian giant squirrel and Asiatic lion, which you might spot more easily in the rain-cooled environment.

3. Experience the Monsoon Magic at Kapila Theertham

Where: Foot of Tirumala Hills Why Visit: Kapila Theertham is an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, set beside a picturesque waterfall. During the monsoon, the waterfall becomes more vigorous, adding a sense of grandeur to the surroundings and making it an unforgettable experience. Tips: Early morning visits provide a peaceful atmosphere, and the temple is particularly beautiful when surrounded by mist. The rain brings a cooling mist, adding to the sacred ambiance, and makes for some stunning photographs.

4. Take a Scenic Drive to Chandragiri Fort

Where: 15 km from Tirupati Why Visit: Located atop a hill, the historic Chandragiri Fort is surrounded by lush greenery and scenic vistas that become even more spectacular during the rainy season. The road to the fort offers enchanting views of the rain-soaked Seshachalam hills, and the fort itself gives a glimpse into the Vijayanagara Empire’s history. Tips: Although the monsoon season enhances the natural beauty, roads can get slippery, so drive carefully. Inside the fort, check out the beautiful Rani Mahal and Raja Mahal, where the rain-washed landscapes create a serene background for photography.

5. Go Trekking on Alipiri or Srivari Mettu Footpaths

Where: Starting points at Alipiri and Srivari Mettu Why Visit: The monsoon season offers a unique trekking experience on Tirupati’s two famous footpaths – Alipiri Mettu and Srivari Mettu. The lush green surroundings, fresh earthy scents, and occasional showers make this spiritual trek even more invigorating. Tips: Wear comfortable, water-resistant shoes and carry a rain poncho. Trekking in the rain can be tricky, so stay cautious on slippery paths and plan to start early to avoid potential crowds.

6. Enjoy the Views from Silathoranam Natural Arch

Where: Near Tirumala Temple Why Visit: This natural arch formation, believed to be millions of years old, holds great geological and spiritual significance. Surrounded by greenery, Silathoranam looks even more magical under a drizzle, with mist adding a mystical charm to the area. Tips: Keep a rain jacket or umbrella handy as there is little shelter. Visiting during the monsoon season allows you to take in the fresh air and feel closer to nature in this quiet, open space.

7. Take Part in Monsoon Festivals and Temple Celebrations

Why Visit: The monsoon season is marked by several significant festivals, including Varalakshmi Vratam and Krishna Janmashtami, which attract thousands of devotees. Visiting Tirupati during these festivals offers a chance to experience the city’s cultural vibrancy, with temples decorated in fresh flowers and devotees gathered for prayers. Tips: Dress in modest, comfortable clothing suited to both the rains and temple customs. Attend the evening aarti (prayer ceremony) at the temples, where you can feel the sacred atmosphere in the monsoon backdrop.

8. Visit the Ancient Village of Chandragiri

Where: Near Chandragiri Fort Why Visit: For history enthusiasts, Chandragiri Village is an immersive experience. The monsoon showers add charm to its old-world appeal, with the surroundings bursting with greenery. Visit ancient temples and interact with locals to learn more about their traditions. Tips: Plan an early morning visit for an uncrowded experience, and bring rain-friendly clothing. Photography enthusiasts will find the rainy season lighting perfect for capturing the heritage structures against a lush green landscape.

9. Capture the Misty Hills of Horsley Hills

Where: 130 km from Tirupati Why Visit: A day trip to Horsley Hills offers a mist-covered, peaceful retreat. This hill station is less crowded during the monsoon and ideal for nature lovers seeking solitude. The rain-fed streams and thick greenery make it a perfect spot for photography and picnics. Tips: Start early to enjoy a full day here, and pack essentials like rain gear, snacks, and a camera. Monsoon showers are frequent but often short, so you can take breaks in between to enjoy the scenery.

Tips for Traveling in Tirupati During Monsoon Season

Stay Prepared for Rain: Carry a compact umbrella, rain jacket, and water-resistant shoes to make the most of rainy days.

Keep an Eye on Weather Updates: Monsoon showers can sometimes be unpredictable, so checking local weather updates can help you plan your day accordingly.

Plan for Indoor Activities: While most of the monsoon attractions are outdoors, having indoor activities in mind (like visiting museums or local markets) ensures a well-rounded trip.

Conclusion

Tirupati during the monsoon is a feast for the senses – from the sound of waterfalls cascading down, the earthy fragrance after a rain shower, to the sight of mist-covered temples. With the rainy season transforming this temple town into a lush haven, you’ll find Tirupati brimming with natural beauty and unique experiences that go beyond its famous temples. So pack your rain gear and get ready to explore a different side of Tirupati this monsoon!
