About Lambasingi

Lambasingi, often referred to as the Kashmir of Andhra Pradesh, is a tiny forest hamlet nestled in the Eastern Ghats of Chintapalli taluka in Visakhapatnam district, situated at an altitude of 1,000 meters. It is the only place in Southern India that witnesses sub-zero temperatures and frost during peak winter months, surrounded by apple and coffee plantations and dense pine forests.

💡Why Visit?

It is a unique destination in South India to experience freezing winter temperatures, morning fog, and walk through misty pine forests and coffee plantations.
