[TDI]

Hello riders,

 

Here is my first trip report here in this group. Please excuse if any find any hurting content.

Day 1:

Actually the trip is planned just a week back with my colleagues. On one Friday afternoon we started from office itself. We took outer ring by 15:30. And it is behind my planned schedule. I m the only experienced driver in my team and one newbie with me,

 

For a time being my colleague took the drive till Vijayawada.

We reached Vijayawada at some 20:00 clock, took Gunadala bypass.

We had dinner at Hanuman jn and continued via Nallajarla and Rajamahendravaram 4th bridge. We took the short cut to skip Tanuku and Ravulapalem. Its a single road need cautious about potholes and speed breakers.

 

Its already 10 pm and my team  started sleeping in car. Im wide awake and continued till Tuni National highway, took left from Narsipatnam.

Its a single lane road and is around 40 kilometers . Road is very narrow, width is around 1.5 times of an RTC bus.

We reached narsipatnam by 02:00 am. boarded at decent lodge at opp to RTC Bus stop.

 

DAY2.:

 It is already late and we started by morning 7. we are on the way to Lambasingi. The ghat road is challenging. Take more care on opp traffic. they don't even Honk. Bye- bye.... summary. All  pictures are unedited. All rights reserved.

Awesome report @TDI .. Beautiful pictures as well.

[Gowtham]

Beautiful pictures.
Place look very isolated.
 

[karthik]

Sometimes we ignore places that are in our own backyard.

Pictures are awesome.
 

[uday]

Government should build a tourism hotel in Lambasingi.

Such a wonderful place without a proper accommodation is pain.

They should at least allow camping.

Nature at its best.Nice travel story.
Thank you for sharing.

Lambasingi is added to my priority list.[emoji5]️

Agree on this issue.

Lack of proper accommodation, not giving permission for private hotels.

Government should step up, start encouraging tourism.

[brteja]

wow, Nice pictures @TDI Great details inside

[sharma]

Awesome stuff @TDI , your report really inspires me to do this drive soon, Is it safe for the families to rent a stay between the forest or any complaints as i've heard before that this place comes under the naxals place. Or if not, do we have a plan to organize a drive meet up to this place any time soon ?

[Naveen1]

Good report@tdi
@sharma I don't think so they have any proper accommodation.
TDI can confirm.

There are few home stays but going with family is a gamble. 

[shammy]

[Guest Charles]

Hey Charles, There are a few places which have come up recently around Lambasingi. Few of them are Vooda Residency, Tejaswi Cottages and few others which are a little faraway named Saptagiri resorts and Buradaveedhi lodge (Campsite with bonfire)

Apart from the above, there are a lot of home stays around Lambasingi..

[Shekar]

Last time when we went to Visakapatnam, my friends staying there told us that there is nothing at Lambasingi  to visit and enjoy except the journey. They also told me that the place is dirty. After reading your report, it seems they are wrong. Once in 2-3 years we camp in Vishaka, next time we plan to visit the place.

An early morning drive to Lambasingi from Maredumilli in the mist is an absolute breeze. Every road trip enthusiast will love it.  

[Musafir]

How about visiting Lambasingi and Araku in Oct first week? Seems its raining in most of the places.

@Musafir You can absolutely do it. It is going to be all green and beautiful. I'm sure the reservoir that you come across will also be full with water in it. But, expect good amount of crowd in the region being a festive season..

Beautiful photos. This place is in my bucket list. Need suggestion / recommendation. How will be the journey when there is only one driver and family of 2 adult & 1 kid wants to do this? Suggest some location for stay and some points to explore.
