In Srisailam there is a Bilva vanam in between Sakshi Ganapathi temple and Srisailam. We have to go right side from main road and climb a small hillock to see this Bilva vanam. The Bilva vanam has so many Bilva trees. All of them are planted in an order. Local people will go to this place for picnic in Karthika masam.
