Papikondalu are series of mountain range that are located
in Rajahmundry in West Godavari District of Andhra Pradesh. Papikondalu
Mountain range runs along River Godavari, one of the largest and vivacious
rivers in India.
The mighty river narrowing and passing with twists and turns
along the Papi Hills is every visitor's delight. Papikondalu mountain range
spreads over a vast area, covering about three districts of East Godavari, West
Godavari and Khammam Districts.
To get the real essence of Papikondalu, one has to go for
the boat journey either from Rajahmundry or Bhadrachalam There are small
motor boats with capacity of five including the rider or River Streamers
carrying about fifty to sixty people. The journey takes about 8 hours and the
adventure begins the moment you step on to the boat. The ups and downs of the
river water, the drifting sand, the cool breeze, small fish that can be spotted
in the clean water and the fresh air from the Papikondalu Hills, give you one
of the best experiences to travel.
On the same route, there is another small but interesting
place called "Pattisam". Pattisam is a small island that is famous
for the temple of Lord Veerabhadra, a warrior of Lord Shiva's army. The village
is said to be named as "Pattisam" after one of the weapons of Lord
Shiva.
Papikondalu hills are one of the most visited tourist
attraction in Andhra Pradesh.
