Penchalakona, Waterfall in Penchalakona, Andhra Pradesh.
Penchalakona is a waterfall in Andhra Pradesh, India, situated about 70 kilometers west of Nellore in a forested setting. The water tumbles down over several rock ledges and forms small basins at different points between the stones.
The site has been linked to religious practice for centuries through its connection to a nearby ancient temple. Ascetics once sought this forested area for meditation and spiritual exercises.
The name derives from the nearby temple and connects natural beauty with religious devotion. Pilgrims wash in the cool water before climbing to the shrine, giving the site spiritual meaning in daily community life.
A marked path leads from the village to the waterfall, and sturdy footwear helps when walking on the wet rocks. The best time to visit is during the monsoon months when the water flows most strongly.
The terrain around the water holds dense greenery and several natural pools along the rock ledges. Some visitors use these basins for bathing when the water level is low and safe.
