Explanation

The Veliconda Hills (or Velikonda Range) are a significant part of the Eastern Ghats located in the south-eastern part of Andhra Pradesh. Geographically, they trend in a north-south direction and form the eastern flank of the Eastern Ghats system [1]. These hills are situated between the Krishna and Pennar rivers, specifically in the Nellore and Prakasam districts of Andhra Pradesh [2]. The range is characterized by its discontinuous nature and relatively low elevation, with peaks like Bhairani Konda reaching approximately 1100 meters [3]. They are part of a series of parallel ranges in the central Eastern Ghats, which also include the Nallamala, Palkonda, and Erramala ranges, all primarily located within the state of Andhra Pradesh [3].
