Upper Ahobilam — Lakshmi Narasimha Trek.
Forest-gorge trek deters package tours. Most Lower-Ahobilam darshan groups skip Upper Ahobilam entirely. Jeep + trek combo also drops elderly pilgrims out of the cohort.WHY NOBODY KNOWS
Trek from Lower Ahobilam temple complex up the Nallamala forest gorge to Upper Ahobilam, where the original Lakshmi Narasimha cave-shrine sits beside the Bhavanasini stream. ~5km one-way, steep rocky ascent past Krodakara and Yogananda Narasimha sub-shrines. Forest dept jeeps run from Lower temple gate (₹400/person shared). Trek closed mid-Jul to mid-Sep monsoon (slippery rocks, sloth bear movement). Carry water; no shops past the parking.
