Early morning at Papi Hills gorge

Papi Hills is a scenic gorge located on a section of the Godavari river in the East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, India.^[1]

The original name for this hill range was 'Papidi Kondalu'. Papidi is a rough translation for partition in Telugu. It is believed that the place was visited by Lord Rama and goddess Sita during their exile. Papi Kondalu^[2] (Papi Hills) has to be reached by boat from Rajahmundry, Pattisam (35 km from Rajahmundry), Polavaram, Kunavaram or Sriram Giri (60 km from Bhadrachalam). The boat service from Rajahmundry to Bhadrachalam is operated in post monsoon season.
