Galikonda Viewpoint
Galikonda View Point
A roadside viewpoint beside Galikonda Hill, one of the highest peaks in Andhra Pradesh, overlooking the layered valleys of Araku.
Galikonda Hill rises to about 1,370 meters and is one of the high peaks of Andhra Pradesh. The viewpoint lies near the mountain pass on the Visakhapatnam–Araku road. From the open platform you can look out over the sweeping Eastern Ghats, terraced fields and coffee gardens. On clear days the scenery is spectacular, and cloud and mist often roll through on winter mornings. Snack stalls by the road sell grilled corn and hot tea. Almost every vehicle heading to or from Visakhapatnam stops here for photos, and 20 to 30 minutes is enough. Admission is free.
