Hyderabad to Hamsaladeevi Beach - A hidden Paradise
 
After a long wait for the December trip, we kick started our vacation to the most beautiful Hamsaladeevi beach located in the Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh.
 
Usually many of them skip this place due to lack of accommodation, but you will find a decent stay in Vijayawada which is around 80 kms approximately from Hamsaladeevi. It is definitely worth travelling so far to see the beauty of this Sagara Sangamam, where river Krishna meets the Bay of Bengal.
 
We started at an early hour from Hyderabad and reached Vijayawada by 10 AM and checked into the OYO hotel. There are no food joints available at Hamsaladeevi beach so we packed the lunch from the hotel and headed out. Vijayawada to Hamsaladeevi drive took us 3 hours with some breaks.
 
Hamsaladeevi village is 24 kms away from Avanigadda and we reached Hamsaladeevi by 3 PM. After a long drive from Hyderabad, there was an adrenaline rush gushing out to see this most beautiful place and couldn't wait to snap the sandy beach and the 'river-beach' meeting point. This point is 2 km away from the beach (From Hamsaladeevi village, beach is 4 kms) and we drove our car on the beach side shore to the port to see the confluence.

Trip

The covid19 pandemic is not over. We request travelers to follow SMS

It was the 15th day of January. While almost everyone was happy, celebrating the festival Sankranti, I was disappointed hearing the news on the ban of tourists to the Gudisa hills.
It was one of the most awaited trips of the year.

I did not travelled for three months and the traveller in side me is thirsty.
Few plans to West Maharastra and Goa with friends did not materialised.
 

Came across this video. I was always fascinated by the top speeds. Pushed most of my vehicles to their limits. 
This video is mind bending, stability at those speeds is insane. Never felt such an adrenaline watching a video. 
Cars that got overtaken? Should have shaken!

 
Drive safe and enjoy the experience through this video.

It should be the fastest bot since it is restricted it only for people in Hyderabad.

Highest latency is close to 16 minutes. Planning to cut it down further by adding more servers depending on users. 
 
Vaccine availability is categorised based on age and vaccine type. 
 
All the locations across Hyderabad are covered. 
 
 

Summary:

Distance: 120 kms.  Road condition: Excellent (upto Zaheerabad) You divert from the highway towards Chincholi forest reserve near the Mahindra factory exit. The road is a single lane road and through the farms. 
  We started from Miyapur around 7 AM in 3 cars. Packed all the food and water. 
Note: Be sure to carry your shoes as there would be a short trek to reach the banks of the lake. 
I will let the pictures do the talking.   The road towards the Chincholi forest after getting down the NH 65

The weather was good as the sun shone gently on us that morning


The entry gate of the Chincholi forest was very welcome


Though it was a mud track beyond the gate, the drive was smooth and fun.

 
The track will is pretty narrow to just fit in 1 car at a time



Our first pit stop was a small temple enroute amidst the Chincholi forest
