The road from Bangalore to Ahobilam stretches like a ribbon of devotion, winding through the rugged beauty of Andhra Pradesh’s Nallamala Hills, where the air grows crisper and the chants of “Ugra Narasimha” echo in the distance. Ahobilam, the sacred abode of Lord Narasimha, is not just a pilgrimage—it’s a spiritual odyssey where faith meets adventure. For Bangaloreans—whether you’re a techie from Whitefield seeking divine intervention, a family from Indiranagar planning a weekend yatra, or a senior from Jayanagar fulfilling a lifelong vow—this 380-km journey is a perfect blend of devotion, nature, and heritage.
As Aarav Singh, with 15 years at Samisha Holidays and having guided over 18,000 pilgrims from Karnataka, I’ve seen the magic unfold. I remember a family from Koramangala whose teenage son, usually glued to his phone, stood speechless at the Ugra Stambham, the very cliff where Lord Narasimha emerged to slay Hiranyakashipu. Another time, a senior couple from Malleshwaram completed the Upper Ahobilam trek with our guide’s help, their eyes shining with tears of joy at Pavana Narasimha temple.
This comprehensive 2025 guide is tailored for Bangalore travelers planning their Ahobilam tour package. We’ll explore why Ahobilam from Bangalore is ideal, a detailed day-wise itinerary, transparent cost breakdown, best time to visit, top 9 Narasimha temples, vegan-friendly food, souvenir shopping, safety and trekking tips, and exclusive Samisha packages—all crafted to make your Nava Narasimha Yatra seamless, soulful, and sustainable. With Samisha, you get AC cabs, temple-adjacent stays, darshan bookings, trekking gear, and carbon-neutral travel, supporting Ahobilam’s green pilgrimage vision.
Why Bangalore to Ahobilam is the Perfect Spiritual Trek
The Bangalore to Ahobilam route is one of South India’s most revered pilgrimage circuits, and here’s why 2025 is the year to go:
The drive is comfortable and scenic—380 km, taking 7 to 8 hours via the smooth Bangalore-Hyderabad Highway (NH44). You’ll pass through Kolar, Chittoor, and Kadapa, with Samisha’s AC cabs ensuring comfort, Wi-Fi, and real-time tracking.
There’s a deep Kannada connection. Ahobilam is mentioned in the Vijayanagara-era Kannada texts, and many Bangaloreans trace their roots to the Hoysala-Narasimha lineage. The Nava Narasimha temples are a living link to Karnataka’s spiritual heritage.
It’s affordable and flexible. A complete 2N/3D package starts at ₹,500 per person—cheaper than a weekend in Coorg. Darshan is free, guide fees are minimal, and daily expenses are ₹1,500 to ₹2,500.
You get a unique spiritual-trekking combo. Visit 9 forms of Lord Narasimha—some in caves, some on hilltops—combining devotion with adventure. The Upper Ahobilam trek is a moderate 8-km trail with stunning views.
And it’s eco-friendly. Samisha uses CNG vehicles, partners with solar-powered homestays, and supports Ahobilam’s plastic-free movement.
