Guntur గుంటూరు
Guntur is where India's chillies are priced, a city of colleges and hospitals with a strong food culture — Guntur meals are famously fiery. It sits 30 km from Vijayawada and beside the Amaravati capital region, with the Undavalli caves, Mangalagiri temple and the Uppalapadu bird sanctuary a short drive away.
