Endrik Peak Trek

Sacred highlands of the Eastern Ghats

Open mountain landscapes, sacred highlands, freshwater streams and ancient cultural trails — to one of the lesser-known 1,500-metre peaks of Andhra Pradesh.

Endrik is a sacred mountain, named after Indrikamma — a local deity believed to be a crab goddess. The trail climbs through open hillscapes of Krishna palm trees, native grasslands and freshwater streams where mountain crabs still live. British survey markers from another century stand along the route, and camp is pitched near the sacred temple below the summit. A perfect blend of nature, culture and history near Pedabayalu.
