Amaravathi, 60 km west of Vijayawada, was an important ancient Buddhist center and was once the capital of the Andhra region.The remains of a pagoda (made of grass-covered hill-shaped embankment and stone) built 2000 years ago remain. Models are on display in the nearby museum.If you are interested in the history of Buddhism, you will naturally want to visit Amarabati, but in fact the best extant sculptures are in the National Museum in Channai.There is no direct route from Vijayawada to Amaravathi, so it's an itinerary of 30km to Guntur and then 30km to Amaravathi.
Located at the top of the delta of the Krishna River, the Vijayawada River, Vijayawada has developed as a major port and as a railroad hub along the east coast connecting Kolkata and Chennai.

8km west of the cave temple Vijayawada is the Hindu cave temple Undervalli, built in the 7th century, which houses the giant statue of Vishnu lying down.Other temples enshrine Trimurti (the three gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva). It's a place worth visiting.Bus number 301 runs from Vijawada.
