Kerala is one state in India which is popularly called God’s Own Country but there is a region which is equally if not more breathtaking in the South, and it is none other than Konaseema. Konaseema represents the delta formed by the river Godavari before it merges into the Bay of Bengal near Antharvedi close to the twin Godavari districts of Andhra Pradesh.
This region, blessed by nature is renowned for its verdant rice fields, exquisite greenery and high quality prawns. Konaseema region is an oasis that combines enchanting beauty and tranquility and it is an ideal dream tour destination for everyone. The magnificent and panoramic landscape, artistic temples of heritage value, lavish greenery, the lustrous coconut groves and fields combined with nature’s resilience surely takes your breath away.
Whether one travels by train, boat or bus, taking some time off to view the surrounding countryside captivates and captures the cultural wealth as well as the geographical variety of this place, which is nothing short of paradise on earth. The twin Godavari districts of AP along with the Devisee region, formed by Krishna Delta is considered the rice bowl of India.
There are many urban regions here, which are trade centers for agriculture and allied activities but a remarkable feature of Konaseema is the ubiquitous freshwater canals that criss cross both the urban towns as well as the countryside. The region has been captured in many films featured in Tamil, Telugu and also Hindi film industries in India. The place is dotted with famous temples. Draksharamam, Annavaram, Ainavalli, Royal, Pattiseema, Mandapa are to name a few. The astounding beauty of this place is attributed to the River Godavari also called Dakshina ganga, that breathes life into every frame. The area produces copious rice and these rice fields and coconut orchards dot the canals on either side. Occasionally, one can spot a small fishing boat on these canals travelling its course aesthetically in a picturesque setting.
The area is close to sea and combines the best of both worlds with fresh water lagoons and the beaches. Konaseema is also well known for a mangrove forest called Coringa Wildlife sanctuary, which cushions the Kakinada region from vagaries of nature. The region comes alive during monsoon season. It’s only water and greenery all around.
Destinations such as Papi Kondalu (Papi Hills / Papikondalu), Kolleru Lake, Maredumilli Forest are of immense tourist and ecological signifance. The government has built beautiful resorts at places like Dindi and other riverside destinations that lend a distinct charm to one’s sojourn. Konaseema’s beauty is unparalleled and plans are afoot to boost eco tourism in the area that can exploit the true potential of this timeless beauty scripted by Godavari River.
