Peacefully peace 20 mins is enough to visit overall place

Buddhism is one of the oldest religions in the world, originating about a thousand years ago. Lord Buddha, the founder of the religion, believed in peace and prosperity which were essentially the principles of the religion. Birthing in India, the remnants of the religion's glorious past still exists and one of these is the Bavikonda Ancient Buddhist Monastery.

Bavikonda Buddhist monastery lies about 16 km from Visakhapatnam, in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, on a hill about 130 metres above mean sea level. The term Bavikonda in Telugu means a hill of wells. As per its name, Bavikonda is a hill which has wells for the collection of rainwater. I still wonder how people lived during those times It's probably in the 3rd BCE INCREDIBLE INDIA I SAY You must visit this place it's a cool environment and u can spend time with your family.

Just next to the slready popular buddist site of thotla konda is this bavi konda. For people who like to explore ancient sites n cultures, this is place of real intrest. The road to the top of the hill is good but the presence of a wualified guide would be a great help.

Peaceful place, no crowd at all. Quite maintained but not for one who is not interested in history.

Good tourist attraction place. This place needs to be developed like Thotlakonda. Government should take necessary action
