About the Tirupati to Kapila Theertham road
Kapila Theertham sits at the very foot of the Tirumala hills, built into a cave beside a waterfall that runs hard after the monsoon. It is the only major Shiva temple in the Tirumala range and a short hop from the city centre.
What to know before you go
- Waterfall is at its best between September and December
- Steps down to the theertham can be slippery in the rain
- Fits easily into the local temple day with Govindaraja Swamy and ISKCON
- Early morning is quietest, before the Tirumala buses fill the road
