Andhra Pradesh: As winter nears, Lambasingi beckons tourists

The Hindu  

Lambasingi, a sleepy little village nestled atop the Eastern Ghats in the Agency area of Alluri Sitarama Raju district, has over the past decade emerged as a sought-after weekend getaway from Visakhapatnam during the winter. Known for its near-freezing temperatures at the peak of winter, Lambasingi has earned the epithet of ‘Andhra Kashmir’, drawing tourists in droves from near and far between November and January every year. Tourism Development Corporation Regional Director Phani Srinivas expressed optimism that the construction of tourist cottages will be completed by November-end, in time for the peak tourist season. The then APTDC Managing Director Girija Shankar, during his visit to Visakhapatnam in December 2016, had said that the construction of cottages at Lambasingi would be taken up at a cost of ₹40 crore and they would be completed over a five-year period.
