Godavari river Launch journey
Note
In case due to low water level at Rajahmundry, all boats starts from
Pursathapatnam at around 10 AM , so reporting time at Rajahmundry is 7.30 AM.
Tourist will be taken to Pursathapatnam by road ( one and half hour duration ,
35 KM )
The launch journey or cruise on river Godavari fromRajahmundry to Sriramagiri or Kunavaram is one of the best tourist attraction in Andhrapradesh
state of India. The journey covers approximately 100kms of travel by launch
(diesel motor cruise). The total duration is nearly 12 hours from Rajahmundry
to Sri Ramagiri. Another half an hour journey is required if travellers are
willing to travel upto Kunavaram by the same launch.
The journey is through various temples and hill
stations and very scenic for the beautiful greenery surrounding the river
Godavari. Some important places which can be seen in this river journey are,
Pattiseema, Maha Nandiswara temple, Polavaram Project area, Gandi poshamma
(Pochamma) temple, Papi kondalu (papi hills), Shiva temple, Peranta Palli, Sri
Rama temple at Sri Ramagiri.
Godavari river flows towards Rajahmundry from
Bhadrachalam. So, the total duration of the journey may get reduced if one
travels from Bhadrachalam in the launch to reach Rajahmundry. It is preferred
to arrange the trip from Rajahmundry though it takes two hours more than the
other way. The reason being, the Sun rise is gorgeous to see from river
Godavari at Rajahmundry. If some one starts from Bhadrachalam, it takes one and
half hour to two hours to reach Kunavaram or Sri Ramagiri where actual launch
journey start. Tourists will be missing the magic of early hours beauty. Trip
packages are also available to cover half of the journey and return to the
starting place, either Bhadrachalam or Rajahmundry. Papi Kondalu (Papi Hills)
being the main attraction, this hill range is covered more from Rajahmundry
side. So, consider the trip from Rajahmundry as the advantages are more.
So many launch services are available at Rajahmundry and Bhadrachalam. At Rajahmundry
So many launch services are available at Rajahmundry and Bhadrachalam. At Rajahmundry
, Launch booking offices are available nearer to the river bank where
Launch service starts. For those who start from Bhadrachalam side, though the
launch service start either from Kunavaram or Sri Ramagiri, booking is to be
done only at Bhadrachalam, Plenty of services available. Different launch
operators have particular schedule. But the service is available on most of the
days. Most of the people prefer travelling on Fridays. The reason being,
evening they can have darshan at Bhadrachalam temple. Next day they can have
local site visit and return back on Sunday either by road or same launch
service. Breakfast (tiffin), coffee, tea, lunch, evening snacks are included in
the package. Travellers can consider carrying sufficient water if they want.
The normal time period to plan this trip is during September to December. October is the best time as the water in river Godavari is optimum. If rains occur, better to avoid
The normal time period to plan this trip is during September to December. October is the best time as the water in river Godavari is optimum. If rains occur, better to avoid
the journey. If the water level is
less in the river Godavari, launch service will be limited to Peranta palli. So
one third of the launch journey will be missing. October is also the season for
depressions at Bay of Bengal, so take your precautions.
The launch service at
Rajahmundry start at early hours 3.00 am. Launches with 50, 80 and 120 members
capacity are available. One can purchase the ticket near the starting point in
the booking office. Advance booking is also available if people are travelling
in groups. If the entire launch is to be booked exclusively, minimum 75 members
are needed to operate on any day of the week. APTDC also conducts the same
Godavari launch service trip package but the days are fixed. Better consider
your journey to start at 4.30am. This makes people to be in the river away from
the city area when sun rise starts. They can enjoy the atmosphere. If it is
early people would miss it while sleeping and if it is late, it would not make
any difference but for seeing the Sun rise at Rajahmundry.
Places to see during launch journey
After starting of the launch journey at Rajahmundry (4.30am), the first
stop is at Pattiseema. Breakfast is also served here. A small temple is located
on top of a small hill. The temple is for the god Sri Uma Maha Nandiswara
swamy. There is some information saying that there was an under ground way to reach
kashi from this temple. The temple is constructed during 12th century. The
Polavaram project can be seen from the temple area at the back side.
The second stop is at Gonduru, just one hour journey from Pattiseema. Goddess Gandi Poshamma temple can be seen here. The view of river Godavari is also pleasant from the temple premesis. Entrance ticket is to be taken for INR 2 and for special darshan (only on Sunday and Tuesday) INR 5. Additional amount is to be paid for special pujas. Photography is not allowed near temple premesis.
There will be one more stop at a check post before entering into Papikondalu (papi hills) area. This one is for a very short duration. Then the journey is through Papi hills which is very scenic. The journey is through thick forest surrounded by hills both the sides. The atmosphere is very pleasant and quiet. This part of the journey is quite for a longer distance and also the major one.

on the timing. Sri Ramakrishna Hermitage is the major attraction at Peranta
Palli. People have to walk a little distance to reach the Hermitage. There is a
small water fall in front of the hermitage flowing from the hills. The water is
chilled and people get lot of relief taking a dip in the water. Beautiful
butterflies are also seen in the area. The area is very calm and neat. One has
to take bath if want to enter inside the Hermitage. Worshiping any other God
near the Hermitage is not allowed. Variety of handicrafts are available which
are made by local village people. Though the price is a little at the higher
side, worth purchasing some. There will be some special occassions during
Vijaya Dashami (Dasara), Mukkoti Ekadashi and Maha Shivarathri (February or
March). The Hermitage has been started by Sri Swamy Balananda.

This area too is surrounded by Papi hills. People will be reaching Sri Ramagiri around 4.30pm. Before that, evening snacks will be served. Some launch services proceed upto Kunavaram. Better to consider Sri Ramagiri as the end point. Because the temple of Sri Rama can be seen here which is supposed to be older than the temple at Bhadrachalam. Temple Darshan can be availed.
If travellers have not booked the vehicle from Sri Ramagiri to Bhadrachalam, it will be difficult to proceed as the direct transportation is not available.

From here as the journey is of two hours duration the
entertainment programs starts.
These areas are very scenic and several popular for Telugu movies were shot
here. Some buildings of nearby villages were featured in the moves as residence
of the hero. At two places the boat manager has to get down and register at the
local police station and forest check posts. All details about the number of
tourist and some fee is to be paid here to enter into forest area of Papi
hills.
Slowly the boat will enter into hilly areas were Godavari will be flowing
through big hills on both sides. This area is know as Papikondalu or Papi
hills. At Rajahmundry the width of Godavari is nearly 5 to 6 KM but at Papi Kondalu
the width reduces to nearly 500 ft only. Depth of water is more here. With
rocks and hills on both sides navigating through boat is a tough job here.
Small water streams flowing from hills will be joining Godavari River on both
sides.
Now it is the time for lunch. South Indian Vegetarian Buffet lunch is served in
lower floor.
Kolluru Bamboo Huts
After

constructed over river sand at right side bank of Godavari. Each hut can accommodate
