Why it matters
Why Manyam Viewpoint is worth your time
The Manyam viewpoint is the easiest way to see the scale of the Maredumilli forest. From the road, the trees close in on both sides; from the platform, the valley opens up and the extent of the Eastern Ghats forest becomes clear.
For older visitors who will not walk to the waterfalls or join a trek, it offers the area's best wide view with almost no effort. It also makes a natural rest stop on the road, breaking up the drive between the two main waterfalls and giving everyone a few minutes in the fresh forest air.

How to experience it
Stop at the viewpoint on the drive between Jalatarangini and Amruthadhara. A platform built by the tourism department looks out over a broad forested valley and the hills of the Eastern Ghats, framed by tall trees.
Morning light is softer and the air clearer, while in the monsoon cloud drifts across the valley and the view changes by the minute. Bring binoculars if you like birds.
There are few or no facilities, so plan tea and toilet stops in Maredumilli. Keep food packed away, as monkeys are common along this road.
Plan with confidence
Small decisions that make the visit easier.
- Combine with Jalatarangini and Amruthadhara
- Go in the morning for clearer views
- Keep food away from monkeys
- Use facilities in Maredumilli first
