Route: Via Narsapur(NS) in West Godavari. Trains and buses are available upto Narsapur/Palakollu from where a lot of service autos are available to Antarvedi. You'll have to cross R. Godavari on the small boats available at all times.
Grade: Medium. Will test your patience but will reward heavily for it. It is important to enjoy the trek or else you'll feel too much strain.
Notes: Start from Antarvedi beach to the south-west, reaching the confluence of the southern patch of Godavari with the sea. Have a boat ride to the Anna-Chellella Deevi - Anna aka brother: Bay of Bengal and Chellelu aka Sister: R. Godavari meet here, so it is call the Anna-Chellella Deevi. You can spend some time there and then come back to the shore. Walk towards the light-house which opens at around 12 Noon. Enjoy the scenery from the top.
Then walk North-east for a 30kms untouched single stretch of beach to reach the next confluence point near Karavaka village. You may not find any transport from here, so it is also advisable to stop a few km ahead where you can see some human habitation. A 2km walk into the civilization will get you to a road from where autos are available. Get back to Rajole bus station from there which is well connected to all towns nearby and Hyderabad.
The sunrise is extremely beautiful, specially when the color of the sea turns into a brilliant gold. It is easy and beautiful to have a night-walk in the area. Avoid full-moon and no-moon days very strictly. Inform the local police station before moving ahead, which should be a small formality of writing a letter with your details and showing some ID proof that you are Indian nationals. The challenge of the trek is to carry enough water and manage food properly. The lesser the weight of your bag, the greater the fun. This trek can also be done of a bicycle with ease. Don't forget to greet the millions of crabs en-route. They are shy and quick - try catching them.
