Narsipatnam
Spend a day in Narsipatnam to catch the bus/train hub and a quick temple visit; add a night only if you plan a Lambasingi day‑trip.
Narsipatnam is a small town in North Andhra, Andhra Pradesh, acting as a gateway to the Eastern Ghats. It offers a bus/rail hub, a local temple and easy access to nearby waterfalls and hill‑stations. One day covers the basics; a night is useful for a Lambasingi excursion.
