Sokuleru Vagu View Point is a natural scenic overlook situated in the heart of the Maredumilli forest range in the Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh. The site features a bridge spanning the Sokuleru stream, which flows through dense, hilly, deciduous forest cover. Visitors primarily utilize this location for panoramic views of the valley and the watercourse below. It is located along the stretch of road connecting Maredumilli to Chintoor. The area is known for its high humidity and biodiversity, characteristic of the Rampa Chodavaram forest division. The viewpoint serves as a frequent rest stop for travelers traversing the winding mountain pass.
