Introduction
Located in the south-central region of the state, Cuddapah is one of the prettiest districts of Andhra Pradesh. Nestled amongst the Nallamalai and Palkonda hills, the beauty of the district of Cuddapah is even more accentuated by the smooth flowing picturesque River Penna, which adds a touch of brilliance to the almost divine sceneries that surround Cuddapah. The name of the province is derived from the Telegu word "Gadapa" which literary means "threshold". The district is made even more famous by the fact that it is considered to be the gateway to the sacred shrine of Lord Venkateshwara, for pilgrims to the Holy City of Tirupati. Thus, if you are planning a trip to Andhra Pradesh, make sure you include a tour to Cuddapah as an integral part of your itinerary for a trip that will remain memorable forever!
