About 90 kilometers from the town of Rajahmundry, lies the picturesque hamlet of Maredumilli. The pristine and intensely green hill station of Andhra Pradesh is an abode of milky white waterfalls meandering through the lovely rocks. Some notable waterfalls present here include Swarnadharna Waterfalls, Rampa Waterfalls, Amruthadhara Waterfalls, Polluru Waterfalls and Jalatarangini Waterfalls. If you want to experience the beauty of the mountains in isolation, you can probably ditch Himachal and Uttarakhand and head here. The village of the Eastern Ghats also has an ecotourism center in the heart of thick wilderness. While Maredumilli can be visited at any time of the year, the monsoons are the best to witness its grandeur.
