The true
pleasure of a vacation is when it is unplanned, you wake up on a morning you
realize it is a long weekend and hop on for a long drive. A short drive makes
your getaway more exciting simply because you are less tired from driving; you
are all set to sit back and unwind. A
trip to Konaseema will be such a perfect getaway; an immensely pleasurable
drive with lush greenery all around you.
Konaseema, a
fast growing hotspot as far as AP tourism is concerned is located in the Godavari
districts of Andhra Pradesh about 450 kms from Hyderabad. The Godavari
districts are more commonly known as the “Rice Granary of Andhra Pradesh”; this
explains the presence of flourishing green paddy fields along your drive.
Konaseema is basically a delta located between the
East and West Godavari districts of Andhra Pradesh, India; surrounded by north and south part of the Godavari river (Goutama and the Vashishta Godavari namely ) and the ocean on the other. Usually these regions are usually favorable for sustaining all forms of life, all kinds of flora and fauna making it a treat to the eye. Resorts in Konaseema are also flourishing, thanks to an increasing number of tourists not only from the South India but from all over the country.
