Ahobilam sits within forest hill terrain, with treks between several of the Nava Narasimha shrines. Basic medical assistance is available on site, and it helps to know where to find it and how to reach emergency services if needed.
If you or someone in your group needs medical attention, reach out to any of the following as quickly as possible.

Available on siteBasic first aid and assistance for minor injuries or heat-related discomfort.
Near the main temple complexFor directions to the nearest medical point or help coordinating an ambulance.
Contact via temple officeA basic first aid facility operates near the main temple, equipped to handle minor injuries, dehydration, and heat-related discomfort common during the forest treks.
For anything beyond basic first aid, temple staff can help arrange transport to the nearest hospital in the surrounding towns.
The nearest full-facility hospitals are located in towns outside the hill range — ask at the temple help desk for current directions and distances.
Carry and drink water regularly during treks, especially on the climbs to Upper Ahobilam and Ugra Stambham.
Plan forest treks for early morning hours and rest during the hottest part of the day.
Trails can be uneven and slippery after rain — wear proper footwear and walk carefully on descents.
Especially on the remote paths to Pavana Narasimha and Ugra Stambham, stay within a group.
