Rampa Waterfalls :
Rampa Waterfalls is a magnificent waterfall in Andhra Pradesh’s East Godavari district, located 4 km from Rampachodavaram hamlet and 29 kilometers from Maredumilli. It is one of Maredumilli’s most visited attractions and one of Andhra Pradesh’s top waterfalls. The waterfall, also called Rampachodavaram Falls, cascades down from a height of roughly 50 feet.
This is Andhra Pradesh’s sole coastal fall, and it is located close to the village of Rampachodavaram. It is incredibly reviving to swim in this waterfall that is surrounded by dense vegetation. This waterfall and the one below it have water all year long. The waterfall is tucked away in a thick bush, yet jeeps can get there. It’s thrilling to travel through the lush jungle perspective. Local villagers take care of the road and the surroundings leading up to the waterfall.
From the entrance, a short hike leads to the waterfall. The brief hike is made more enjoyable by the running water stream that is to your right as you rise and the numerous minor waterfalls. To get to the main waterfall, it will take 20 minutes of climbing. Near the Rampachodavaram waterfalls, there is an old Shiva shrine called Sri Neelakanteswara. On the day of Shivratri, a dance festival is held here when the well-known tribal dance Vela is performed. The dancers’ clothes during this performance are absolutely lovely.
