Lepakshi Temple Stay
Route Covered
Overnight stops in day orderOverview
A Lepakshi temple stay is a private two-day, one-night trip to Lepakshi in Sri Sathya Sai district, Andhra Pradesh, about 100 km from Bengaluru airport. Painted ceilings, a hanging pillar and a monolithic Nandi fill the Veerabhadra temple visit. It suits short breaks and layovers, and October to February is the comfortable season.
Travellers with one night to spare who like murals, carving and quiet temple halls more than crowds or a long checklist
