What Makes It Awesome

The Godavari district is a gift that keeps on giving. Antarvedi in the East Godavari district is a beautiful temple town and it has a beach too. Often people who hit up Dindi take a quick trip to Antarvedi, and it takes around nine hours from Hyderabad. Known for its Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple — a 15th-century temple that's located right where Bay Of Bengal meets a tributary of River Godavari. 

Up for some adventure? Antarvedi Beach trek stretches over 26 km and its difficulty level is moderately medium. The trek along the coastline takes you through the vistas of the sunrise, sunset, and the view of the lighthouse at night is worth staying up for. You’ll find a company in the form of amicable fishermen and tiny crabs. You can even camp on the beach, which is quite rewarding as the horizon is quite clear.

When you're here, you can visit Adurru which is an hour away. Adurru is known for its unearthed landmarks like the Buddha Stupas, Viharas, and Chaityas which were found in the late 1953s. This place will leave history lovers' pulse racing as the prime fascination of this place is the Mahastupa which is built like a wheel on a raised dais.

Pro-Tip

There are no hotels in Antarvedi and the closest stay options can be found in Dindi or Narsapur.
