Thatipudi Reservoir is one of the most picturesque tourist destinations in the Vizianagaram district of Andhra Pradesh. Built across the Gosthani River between 1963 and 1968, the reservoir serves as a major source of drinking water for Visakhapatnam and irrigates thousands of acres of agricultural land. Surrounded by lush green hills, dense forests, and tranquil waters, it is a favorite destination for nature lovers, photographers, and weekend travelers.

The reservoir is especially beautiful during the monsoon and winter seasons when the surrounding hills turn vibrant green and the water level rises. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views, peaceful surroundings, boating activities, and opportunities for birdwatching. The area is also known for its cottages and recreational facilities, making it an ideal spot for family outings and day trips from Visakhapatnam and Vizianagaram.

Recent tourism initiatives have further enhanced the visitor experience, including the resumption and expansion of boating facilities at the reservoir. The calm waters, scenic landscapes, and refreshing atmosphere make Thatipudi Reservoir one of the hidden gems of Andhra Pradesh.                                                                                                                    Distance :
