Bojjannakonda and Lingalakonda

Why this place is special

Choose this for a day built around Buddhist heritage. A visit to both hills, if currently permitted, deserves time for the different forms of architecture and the walk between them.

Bojjannakonda and Lingalakonda are the two Buddhist hills at Sankaram. Their rock-cut and structural remains make a different excursion from the coastal archaeological sites north of Vizag.

Don't miss

• Rock-cut features on the permitted route
• The contrast between the two hills

Make time for it

Plan cooler daylight, check access and leave a separate travel allowance.

Allow extra time for getting there, meals and queues. Confirm current access, opening hours and entry requirements before setting out.

Before you go

• Expect steps and exposed hill terrain; suitable footwear is important.
• This is outside the city; do not add it to a short seafront plan.
