context_page_description: Chintapalli is a major tourist and historic town and mandal in Visakhapatnam district in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
  Every year lakhs of tourists from all over the country come here during the winter season. The temperature in this area often falls down to almost minus 2 degrees Celsius. Tourists come here to enjoy the cold winter nights and early morning snow fall. Sunrise is seen after 10 a.m and the daytime sun light is very short. It is an undescribable experience walking in the mornings.
  Chintapalli is also where the Rampa Rebellion, led by Alluri Sitarama Raju against the British in 1922 got started. Chintapalli's Police Station was the first one to be attacked by the Revolutionaries during the freedom struggle.
  Chintapalli is considered to be the headquarters of the agricultural and commercial crops market.
