At a distance of 3 Kms from Tirumala Bus Station, Akasa Ganga is a beautiful waterfall on the foothill of Venkatadri that holds fabulous legends about its origin. All the rituals in Sri Venkateswara Temple are conducted with the holy waters of these falls. Traditionally, the Tirumala Nambi family is allowed to take water from the waterfall to the temple.
Though there is an enormous legend about this lovely waterfall, which blooms to its zenith in the rainy season, the most prevalent among is the one that the Lord himself had showed this waterfall to the person who used to bring water for his daily poojas. The gurgling waters of this stream make wonderful scenery in monsoons.
This holy theertha is found it's rendering in the Vedas and it is believed that Akasa Ganga Teertham originates from the feet of the deity.
There are several cabs available to this place from the main temple, both shared and private. This place needs some trekking for 5-10 mins.
