Buses run from Vijayawada to Amaravathi every half-hour or so ( 24, two hours), but it may be quicker to head to Guntur picture of map of united states ( 12, 45 minutes) and take another bus from there. The drive here will take you through some lovely lush scenery and memorable glimpses of village life.
The citadel is built on a granite hill, 120m high and surrounded by crenellated ramparts picture of map of united states constructed from large masonry picture of map of united states blocks. The massive gates were studded with iron spikes to obstruct war elephants. Outside the citadel there stands another crenellated rampart, with a perimeter of 11km, and yet another wall beyond this. At Naya Quila (new fort), adjacent to the golf course, you can find a magnifi cent 400-year-old picture of map of united states baobab picture of map of united states tree (Hathiyan picture of map of united states elephant tree), with a circumference of 25m, said to be planted by seedlings carried by African regiments from Abyssiania.

Bheemunipatnam, 25km north of Vizag, a former Dutch settlement and the oldest municipality in mainland India, is worth a visit.

To get here catch bus 999 ( 19), or otherwise a shared autorickshaw
