Beaches & Coastal Tourism in Telangana

Telangana, formed in 2014 as India's 29th state, is completely landlocked. It shares boundaries with Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh but has no access to the sea. Consequently, Telangana lacks natural beaches and marine coastal ecosystems, which traditionally define coastal tourism.

However, this limitation has not prevented Telangana from exploring beach-like and water-based tourism alternatives. With innovative planning and natural inland water resources, the state is cultivating a distinctive version of “coastal tourism” through lakes, reservoirs, riverbanks, artificial beaches, and eco-tourism.
