Apsara Konda pond is a devine beauty and the beach near to that offers beautiful sunset view.
Legend says that the Apsaras (Heavenly fairies) used to come here to bathe and relax. The place truly exudes heavenly beauty. There is Devi temple and a branch of Ramachandra mutt. There are several big caves on the hillock called Pandavas caves.
The trek to Apsarakonda is an easy one as the route is well marked. The main attraction of the trek is the scenic beauty of the place. The hillock of Apsarakonda is also a place blessed with immense natural beauty. The viewpoint located on the hillock is at a short distance from the waterfall and offers some breath taking views of the Arabian Sea and the beach.
