My Adventures of Kanipakam

We went to Kanipakam in a SUV. We did not know the route, and by the way I think we were travelling in wrong direction. We came to a road which was empty, we traveled some distance and came across a man, when asked he said to go in a particular direction! We went through very very narrow roads, sometimes roads were just large enough for 2 men to walk side by side. Roads were covered with trees, and trees are very deceiving at night.

We were travelling for sometime and we were now sure that we were missing something because Kanipakam distance indicating boards were present nowhere and nowhere we could see a sign of the temple. So we asked another person the directions. After taking directions from him we went in that direction.

Little did we expect that the route we were taking had very very narrow roads and remote villages which I think have not seen even few cars travelling through them. Everywhere we traveled in those villages we were met with people staring curiously at us and our car. While we were traveling just out of one village, a person(mad person I guess) came running at our car with a stick in his hand as if trying to hit us. We increased the speed and went on and on with a tension in the heart.

At last we reached Kanipakam. Yes, after a long travel and thrill we could get to the place of the great lord Vinayaka.
