Andhra Pradesh Capital Region, Metropolitan development region in Andhra Pradesh, India.
The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region is a development area spanning multiple districts with the new city of Amaravati along the Krishna River banks. The area merges existing villages and farmland with modern infrastructure being built today.
When Andhra Pradesh was divided in 2014, this region was chosen as the new administrative center. Development started in 2015 and has been reshaping the landscape across the area.
The region houses Buddhist sacred sites and ancient stupas that visitors can still explore today. These places blend with local celebrations and newer cultural venues that shape how people experience their surroundings.
Visitors can move through the region by car or public transport, which is gradually expanding. The best time to visit is outside the hottest months, when the area is easier to navigate.
Local farmers participated in the city's growth by providing land to the project. In exchange, they received developed plots back, creating an unusual partnership between traditional landowners and urban planning.
