Perantalapalli Ramakrishna Munivatam

Perantalapalli Ramakrishna Munivatam is a riverside hermitage located in Perantalapalli village, Devipatnam mandal, Alluri Sitharama Raju district, Andhra Pradesh, on the banks of the Godavari River within the Papikondalu hill range. Established as the abode and meditation place of Sri Ramakrishna Muni, it is notable for its secluded forest setting, simple ashram structures, and access only by boat, forming a key spiritual stop on the Papikondalu boat circuit from Rajahmundry.

Visitors reach Perantalapalli by boat through the Papikondalu gorge on the Godavari River, as there is no road access to the village. The ashram comprises simple thatched huts, a prayer and meditation hall and small shrines set on the riverbank amid dense forest and hills. Visitors can walk around the tranquil compound, view the Godavari and surrounding Papikondalu hills, observe ashram life and spend time in quiet contemplation. Facilities are basic and the visit is typically a timed halt as part of a day-long Papikondalu boat tour from Rajahmundry.
