beauty of yanam

Once under the French control , Yanam is a picturesque little place on the banks of Gowtami Godavari (a branch of Godavari river which merges in the Bay of Bengal near Yanam) near Kakinada, the district headquarters of East Godavari district. Yanam forms a part of Puducherry and is therefore, a distinct enclave within East Godavari district. It has great tourist potential, with its colonial past and scenic surroundings of the East Godavari district. Only in the past decade, some concerted efforts have been seen to tap the potential of Yanam by the Puducherry administration.
