About Papikondalu Tour:
Papikondalu is also known as Papi hills which are situated in the holy river Godavari in Andhra Pradesh. As everyone knows that the holy river Godavari was born in Nasik (Gomukh, Maharastra), there it is passing through so many states. finally, it is ending up in Andhra Pradesh. Before entering Andhra Pradesh we can see 3 mountains that look like giants trying to stop the Godavari. Nature lovers really like this place
According to our forefather's sayings, the name Papikondalu is the word taken from a Telugu word called (Papidikondlu),
because when we see the view of this holy river Godavari from the top of this Papikondlu it looks like a hairline (Thala lo Papidi)of a woman.
but according to our history (Puranam) when the great Saptharuhees bought Pathala Ganga down, the king of an evil kingdom named (Papi) stopped the flow of Ganga then once again the Saptharushees requested the king "Papi" to give the way then he gave small space to continue the flow of water that's what the reason Papikondalu are so close to each other.
Papikokndalu is a famous tourist attraction in Andhra Pradesh that is going to "extinct" shortly, due to a well-known dam namely the "Polvaram project "which is under construction. after the construction of the dam, there are about 250 small villages that will be drowned.
still, there are some villages which have no electricity, roads, water or any other communication. such places are also covered in Papi Kondalu tour,
these Papikondalu are three in number, situated like a wall in the midst of holy river Godavari, it is nearly 100 KM far from Rajahmundry. in this journey we start from Polavaram and cover so many famous places like Gandipochamma temple, Perantapalli, Ramakrishna muni Vatika (Ashramam) and Veereswara Swamy Temple.
Papikondalu gives you lots of happiness and satisfaction this is not only an enjoyment tour but also a devotional tour which covers famous temples shown above, the temples covered in our tour are very famous and well known.
depart of these natural beauties we have lots of entertainment like games, songs, dances with professional dancers, etc. in our boat
