For us Vizag folks, a getaway to Lambasingi is a beloved monsoon ritual. While the early morning trek to the iconic “meghasamudram” viewpoint remains a breathtakingly significant part of the trip, a visitor may find themselves wondering “What else is there to do?” afterwards. Well, with monsoon gushing in, there are several waterfalls in and around Lambasingi that are bound to come alive again. The next time you make a getaway from Visakhapatnam to Lambasingi, here are some waterfalls around the area you could check out:
Kothapalli Waterfalls
