Sri Kandukuri Veeresalingam House: Sri Kandukuri Veeresalingam Pantulu Garu (16 April 1848 - 27 May 1919) was a social reformer who encouraged the education of women and the remarriage of widows which was not supported by society during his time. He is often considered Raja Ram Mohan Roy of Andhra.

Timing: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
Cotton Barrage: It was constructed by British engineer Sir Arthur Cotton in 1852. The plan was to divert the flood water of the Godavari to irrigation canals for crops in the delta.
Sri Satyadeva Nursery: Kadiyam Nursery is one of the best places to find unique plants because it has a wide variety of species and varieties that are not available anywhere else. We also saw a variety of plants here like - Bougainvillea Multicolor plant, Black Alocasia, Aralia Nuda Dwarf, Lucky Ficus and many more. My tourists come here and purchase plants too.
Pushkar Ghat Arti: In the evening we returned to the Pushkar Ghat and enjoyed a boat ride then attended the Ghat Arti there and ended our day.

The locations in Andhra Pradesh I watched through this video are beyond my imagination, the boat view was exhilarating, Godavari river bank view was just amazing. I always feel fascinated to watch river views. Sorry to hear about your knee problem and still you are traveling, that's inspiring. I am very much excited to visit all of the Indian states. I feel glad to know people are following their culture and traditions and feel proud of them, and serve food with love. Andhra Pradesh is still underrated in terms of tourism and must be promoted. Many thanks for the long video.

Andhra Series Is Mesmerizing I don't think anyone has covered EG and WG Districts of Andhra Pradesh in such an amazing way ! I know EG and WG , because I have visited Peethapuram, but I am sure many people, in many places in India have seen Kakinada, Rajahmundry, and mighty Godavari for the first time. I am sure even Andhra Pradesh Tourism must not have given such huge publicity to Kakinada and Rajahmundry. More than 600 nurseries 😮 really mind blowing... I am short of words for appreciation of Andhra Series Thank You Harish Garu 🎉

India's southeastern coastal state, Andhra Pradesh is known as the rice bowl of India. Endowed with natural wonders in abundance, the state attracts a large number of tourists every year. This agriculturally rich state is also known as Andhra nation, the rest of the information you have given in your travel blog is incomparable and praise worthy, without a doubt we can say that Andhra is the cultural soul of India and the place of protection of eternal traditions. We are always proud of Andhra Pradesh

Why Andhra pradesh govt. Not promoting state tourism ? Where many things have to seen. River, Tamples, food, Culture, traditions, festivals & many things to do. Even nursury tourism also hve big attraction. Before this series i never think that Andhra pradesh is so beautiful. Bt after this series i definitely visit Andhra pradesh in future. 🙏👍🌾🌷🌻🌿🌴🌼

Harish ji, it's an awesome episode where you covered so many exquisite locations in such a short period. As another subscriber commented, you're an ambassador of Indian tourism. AP tourism too should be indebted to you, for your fabulous promotion!

[@csnsrikant6925]

​​​​​​@@rajupatel1094andhrapradesh visitor's are very less because AP govt doesn't take any good initiation to develop tourism even in religious tourism also Tarabu waterfalls, ahobilam nava narasimhas , srisailam temple - nallamala forest reserve, Pancharama kshetras , nava nandis , yaganti , mahanandi , lepakshi , beautifully sculpturised temples, coringa mangrove forest , gandikota (grand canyon of India) , belum caves , borra caves , kolleru lake bird sanctuary , pulicat lake , lambasingi and araku valley etc Except TTD The entire Andhra Pradesh has temples with puranic events , sthala puranam events and historical events 👍 temple construction maybe small or large but it is linked with puranic events and historical events.

It is really heartening to see many responses from my fellow citizens about these places that I belong to.. Truly there are amazing places in EG Dist (now Konaseema) especially many many temples of prominence. Many people of these places try to converse in Hindi though tough for them.. but we should make travelling a hobby.. at least to know where we stand in this world and what we are and what are we contributing to the nation :-) ..

Harish ji..since you visited Andhra during the time of Pongal..you should have covered Konaseema villages during Pongal 3 days.. it would have been visual retreat for the entire nation. Prabhalu would have been a Nice thing.. next time when you plan..please try to post it in advance..so that some one who can guide or arrange people to support your time.. However nice to see that this side of Travel is covered...would be encouraging for the rest of the fellow state people to visit AP.

missed visiting konaseema area, largely bcoz i found it difficult to establish contact with someone who could guide us on how to go ahead.. so next time i will plan this...

[@bvsram]

@@visa2explore Next time you visit.. if you can post prior about visiting coastal region.. am sure that many people following all your episodes would promptly reply and guide you on the places of prominence around these areas.. but if you plan ..pls be sure to plan during pongal season only... it ll be wonderful during Pongal days.
