Pickup at your door
Visakhapatnam is close to 1,000 km away, a two day drive with the night at Vijayawada, so the cab collects you from home, a hotel or the airport at 5 am. A car clears the city fast at that hour. The first day follows NH75 to Chittoor and Tirupati, then the coastal road through Nellore and Ongole; the second day runs up NH16 past the Godavari. Pack an overnight bag separately so the big suitcases stay in the boot until Vizag.

Coffee break
The first break comes at Kolar, about 70 km out, if anyone wants coffee; the cab pulls in at a hotel on the bypass rather than entering the town. Kolar heads its district and is often called the gateway to Tirumala and Chennai on NH75. Fresh milk from the district dairy makes the coffee here good. Fuel and ATMs are close to the highway. After Kolar the road climbs towards Mulbagal and the Andhra Pradesh border.

Past Chittoor
Chittoor, 180 km out, is passed on the bypass. The town, a district headquarters, is where NH69 from Bangalore meets NH40, so the junctions are crowded with lorries. Its district is one of the big mango growing areas of India, and pulp factories stand around the town. In summer, fresh mangoes are sold from roadside stalls. Tirupati, the lunch stop, is about 70 km on, a little over an hour by car.

Lunch on the way
Lunch on the way at Tirupati, 250 km out. Andhra meals are easy to find, and the driver eats at the same time, so there is no waiting later. Tirumala, up the ghat, is a separate trip on another day. Kapila Theertham, the TTD run Shiva temple and theertham, is in the town itself. Buy the Tirupati laddu at a TTD counter if you want to carry prasadam along. From the town, Tirumala lies up the ghat.

Drive past
Srikalahasti, 290 km out and about 38 km north of Tirupati, is passed without a halt on a two day drive. Its temple is one of the Pancha Bhoota sthalams, where Shiva is worshipped as the air, and it draws many visitors for the Rahu Ketu pooja. The town is also known for Kalamkari, cotton painted and block printed by hand. From here the cab heads north on the coastal side towards Nellore.

Quick tea
Nellore, 385 km out, is a ten minute tea stop. The city sits on the Penna river, and NH16 bypasses it, which keeps the stop quick for a car. Nellore is known for chepala pulusu, a tangy fish curry made with murrel, and for malai kaja, a milk sweet that packs well. The name is linked to nellu, paddy, as the district grows a great deal of rice. From here NH16 runs north along the coast.

Snack break
Ongole, 505 km out, is the snack stop. The town is the headquarters of Prakasam district and gives its name to the Ongole breed of cattle, prized across India. NH16 bypasses the town, and the cab stops right at a highway hotel. The coastal plain here is only about 10 m above the sea, so the afternoon feels hot and humid. About two and a half hours remain to Vijayawada for the night.

Night stop
This is the usual night halt on this route, Vijayawada, 640 km from Bangalore. There are plenty of hotels for one night, and the driver parks at the door. You cross the Krishna by the Prakasam Barrage on the way in, and the Kanaka Durga temple on Indrakeeladri can be seen from the road. Most people order Andhra meals with gongura for dinner. Day two to Visakhapatnam is about 350 km.

Morning tea
Day two starts early from Vijayawada, and the first tea is near Eluru, 700 km into the trip. Eluru is known for pile carpets, and the Tammileru river flows through it into Kolleru Lake, about 15 km away. Kolleru is a Ramsar wetland and the largest shallow freshwater lake in Asia, crowded with birds in winter. A car can take a short detour there on the way back. NH16 runs on through rich delta land.

Lunch on the way
Lunch at Rajahmundry, 790 km out, on the Godavari. Godavari style meals are served at the hotels, and the driver eats at the same time. No detour is needed to see the river; the highway crosses it beside the arch bridge. Rajahmundry is the headquarters of East Godavari district and is linked to Nannayya, the first Telugu poet. Pootharekulu from nearby Atreyapuram is the sweet to buy here. Keep forty minutes for the meal.

Short darshan
Annavaram, 890 km out, lies right on NH16, and families often stop for a short darshan at the Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Swamy temple on Ratnagiri hill. The temple was built in 1891 and rebuilt in 1933 and 1934. A car can go up and be back on the highway in about half an hour on a quiet day; in Karthika month the crowds are much bigger. Visakhapatnam is about 120 km on.

Drop at your hotel
By car Visakhapatnam is about 18 hours from Bangalore with meal stops, spread over two days. The cab goes anywhere in the city and drops you at the hotel or house. Visakhapatnam is the largest city of Andhra Pradesh, set between the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal, so the hills and the sea are both close. Andhra meals and fresh seafood are the local food. Hotels, ATMs and fuel are everywhere.

Yes, from Nellore north NH16 is a wide divided highway, part of the Golden Quadrilateral, and bypasses most towns. The first day to Nellore uses NH75 and the road via Tirupati, which is busier. From June to November the coast gets heavy rain, and cyclones can close stretches for a day; the driver checks the forecast before leaving.
Yes. Halts come every two to three hours, at Kolar, Tirupati, Nellore and Ongole on day one, and the night at Vijayawada splits the trip. Carry snacks, a pillow and a change of clothes in a small bag. Children often enjoy the Godavari bridges at Rajahmundry on day two.
