There is always something about beach that attracts everyone towards it. In the noise of the waves, we discover the calmness inside heart .So I RSVP'd for this trek looking to find calmness inside and I got more than I expected .
We reached narsapur on 5th nov. after the much fun filled train journey ( how can i forget those ultimate games of UNO ) and started our trek from antravedi towards karvaka . Soon I realized that its Going to be a long and ardous trek with no fun and just a stroll along the beach in scorching sun . Though at the end i realized how much wrong i was . The beach at antravedi has been the most clean and beautiful beach I have seen till date. With almost no villager in sight , it was US , left to start our fling with nature .
The palm trees fencing on 1 side and gentle breeze caressing your face and body , you almost forget all your worries and start absorbing the beauty around you. We saw like millions of crabs on the beach and even tried to catch one ( believe me this is a skill, i still need to acquire ) .
Strolling bare footed for full 14 KM on first day and playing frisbee as we go along was fun. The day ended soon in the company of wonderful friends and lap of nature and we decided to halt for the day and setup our tents.
Though however mundane , Its always fun to build a tent with friends and play another tiring game of frisbee . We had a couple of knowledge sharing session courtesy arun (trek organizer) who taught us how to identify footprints of wild animals by drawing them on sand. Also had antakshri and senseless talks on random topics with all friends and watching the sunset over the trees.
The part I enjoyed most is sitting on beach in moonlight with foot in sand and watching waves come and go .Its like feeling closer to beauty of earth and admiring how beautiful the life is. To see those millions of jewels shining in the black sky and gazing at the glory of universe . It makes you realize that you are nothing but a tiny creature lost in this vastness of sky and water.
So after all the star gazing and identifying constellations , we started the remaining trek at 3 am next morning. Collecting shells as we move on , walking with crabs , finding fishes and finding Jelly Fish , rolling over the flower bed on the shore and riding on waves , there is so much to 2nd day that just can't be explained in words .I sang as i frolic barefoot in the water along the beach. We reached the village and waited for everyone to join. Played around with goats in the fields and ate watever stock was left with us (by jhansi, our food mart ) . we reached the bus station to continue our onward journey .

The best part of journey is watching the sunrise on the beach . Its like a feast to eyes to watch such immense activities of nature and assimilate them .
A holiday by a beach brought all the strength and pleasure after the much boring life of ours in city. Will cherish those moments forever .
