Lambasingi
లంబసింగి
A highland village nicknamed 'the Kashmir of Andhra,' where winter mornings bring mist, frost and fields of yellow niger flowers.
Lambasingi lies near Chintapalle at about 1,000 meters. It is one of the few places in southern India where winter mornings can drop close to 0°C, which has earned it the nickname 'the Kashmir of Andhra.' In winter, mist fills the air around the village, which is surrounded by vast fields of yellow niger flowers, coffee gardens and pine forests. The Tajangi Reservoir and viewpoints are nearby. Most visitors leave Visakhapatnam or Araku before dawn to watch the sunrise, and some stay overnight in local homestays. It is about 110 kilometers (around 3 hours by car) from Araku and is usually combined with Vanjangi and Paderu.
