Quick Survey.

What's the most famous or most important tourist site in Andhra Pradesh. Just off the top of my head nothing is coming to mind. I haven't been there. Apart from Hyderabad, I know very little about this place.

I'm just looking for a quick answer.

Golconda & Charminar in Hyderabad and two of the most important buildings. Salar Jang Museum, also in Hyderabad.

Yes, Charminar in Hyderabad. Also Tirupati for temples, maybe Visakhapatnam for beaches..

oops - just occured to me Puttapharthi is in Andhra...Sai Baba's ashram is pretty famous..

Nagarjunakonda, Ethipothala Falls.

From Visakhapatnam visit the Araku valley.

We did not like Puttaparthi but the nearby temple in Lepakshi is great, also Penukonda is worth a visit.

Srisailam one of the joytirlinga temples, very fine.

Dont forget Andra has fields and fields of chillis, not the best state to go to if you hate chilli

I"m not going to andhra in the near future, I was just curious.

Do people on agree on the most important site or is there disagreement?

People will always name what is "best" for themselves.

Well usually if somneone were to ask about INdia, the consensus would be the Taj Mahal.

If one were to ask about Rajathan, you'd here Jodhpur fort, Udaipur Palace or Jaisalmer fort.

If you talk about kerala, you'd hear the backwaters or the tea plantations.

I conclusion is that there may not be any outstanding site in Andhra Pradesh. My question was aimed to see if there was one or two that stood above the rest.

Godavari delta, Srisailam and surroundings - especially Mahanandi, Araku surroundings - Borra caves, Adilabad area forests, Lepakshi
