Build a north-coast-to-hills route on the map: Arasavalli and Srikurmam near Srikakulam, Salihundam as Buddhist heritage, Bojjannakonda/Sankaram toward present Anakapalli, Visakhapatnam's Thotlakonda and Simhachalam, then Borra and Araku inland. This is a teaching route, not a promise that all transport links or attractions are open on one day. Its value is category recall. The same regional arc contains a Sun temple, Kurma shrine, Buddhist remains, Narasimha shrine, natural cave and hill valley.

Do not blur the cultural difference between living communities and visitor attractions. Araku's Dhimsa performances are part of a wider social tradition; one staged show cannot stand for every community. Similarly, a coastal hill with Buddhist remains is not a beach even when it overlooks the sea. Use a three-column card: site, present district/region and feature. The route direction from Srikakulam southwest toward Visakhapatnam and then inland helps eliminate reversed-location distractors.

Worked example: Build a northeast AP route with Arasavalli, Srikurmam, Visakhapatnam-area Buddhist sites, Simhachalam, Borra and Araku. The route is a memory tool spanning shrine, archaeology, cave and hill categories. It does not guarantee one transport service connects every stop. Given a clue, select site type first, then its approximate placement on the map.

Active recall: Recite the route and classify each of its six main site types without looking at the map.
