This water fall is @60 km away from Srisailam and @180 km away from Hyderabad. So, it is ideal getaway from Hyderabad for a weekend trip. It is on the way of Srisailam - Hyderabad route and need to travel another 10 km inside from this highway. this 15 km route is single road and not in good condition.
After Reaching to parking spot of Mallela Theertham we need to walk another @ 1 km through steps (@350 steps) to reach this waterfalls. Water flows through Dense forest and meets in Krishna River. the height of the waterfall is about 150 feet.

BEST TIME TO VISIT
October to February is the best time to visit this place, in other words I can say winter season is best time to visit. Reason beyond is
- During summer season water flow will be less and your visit may disappoint you if you are visiting in summer
- During Rainy season this route will be muddy and dangerous to drive the vehicle and walk way of this falls also becomes slippery.
- So Winter season is the best time to visit
