I was told by the auto driver that to take a guide or go in a group, since lot of wild animals will be there enroute.Sri Pavana Narasimhar temple is 4kms from Sri Ahobila Narasimhar temple. I waited near the entrance of Sri Pavana  Narasimhar Temple route, but nobody turned up . So after waiting for few minutes prayed to Lord Narasimha and started climbing the mountain steps. I was going alone around 900 steps are there first, then started the muddy road, but it is very easy to walk on it. I continued, continued and more and more the forest became dense. Finally i reached Sri Pavana Naramsimhar Temple. I prayed GOD and from here i took a jeep for reaching Lower Ahobilam.
