Konaseema & Godavari Delta, Andhra Pradesh, India (Dec 2022)
East of Rajahmundry, the Godavari splits into numerous distributaries forming the largest river delta in peninsular India. We stayed in Dindi village, overlooking one of the largest of these distributaries and, among other places, visited Antarvedi, where it meets the Bay of Bengal. Here one can see a large and placid brown riverfront merging into a turbulent and bluish sea. The pleasures of this lush green delta region, aka Konaseema, include leisurely walks on village paths, alongside rice paddies, coconut plantations, and backwater channels.
