There is much more to explore in Andhra Pradesh, beyond Charminar, Golconda & Hussain Sagar...

Being an avid Indian Traveller, we always look for that tourist destination where our whole family can relate themselves easily. Today, I am just going to tell you about one such destination: Andhra Pradesh.

The moment I said Andhra Pradesh, you might start thinking about its famous land mark monument i.e. about Charminar, but, as I mentioned earlier there is a lot more to explore in Andhra Pradesh (AP).

What we know about AP?

The Charminar (the famous Islamic Mosque) is as much the signature architecture marvel of Hyderabad (capital city of AP) as is the Eiffel Tower is of Paris. Everyone is aware of the fact that Kohinoor was found in India but a very few people know that it was found in Golconda Fort during the Qutub Shahi dynasty rule (1518 to 1687). And no one can miss out the Hussain Sagar, a manmade lake having the world's tallest monolithic statues of Buddha in the middle. Last but not the least, Andhra offers equal spiritual vicinity in itself. AP showcases one of the most beautiful temples and mosques such as Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, Birla Mandir, Hyderabad, Mecca Masjid (Makkah Masjid) is one of the oldest mosques in Hyderabad, Simhardri or Simhachalam (Hindu Temple), Chilkur Balaji Temple (Visa Balaji Temple) and Kanaka Durga Temple is another famous Hindu Temple of Goddess Kanaka Durga.

Now you must be wondering that I have concluded every aspect of Andhra in this small write-up, but you are wrong at this point. I haven’t mentioned a single word about the two most exotic features of Andhra Pradesh that are its ‘hill stations’ and ‘beaches in Andhra Pradesh’.

It is also true that beaches in AP do not host parties like GOA neither have five-star properties like KERALA. But the one thing which you will surely find at the Andhra’s beaches is their simplicity in relishing the beauty of pristine and uninterrupted coastline.

Now, if you wish to go an ultra quiet beach to spend some quality time with your loved ones, then Yarada Beach is tailor-made just for you. It is a beach having golden sand, surrounded by hills on three sides and the lapping waters of the Bay of Bengal on the fourth. Nearby this sea shore, there is a Dolphin’s Nose Lighthouse situated at the top of Black Mores Hill. Its powerful white beacon can be easily seen from the distance of 65km.

Just like Yarada Beach, there are several other beaches to explore such as Mypad Beach, Ramakrishna Beach, Bheemunipatnam Beach and the last one is Rishikonda Beach.
In the end, I’ll say that you will arrive here armed with lists of hotels, restaurants, bars, stores and spas to visit, as well as wallets stuffed with cash, but you will return with stories, cheerful memories, big smiles and empty pockets.
