A trip to Simhachalam Forest

The Eastern Ghats Mobile belt is a range of hills along the coast of Visakhapatnam city. These are formed by a tectonic arrangement with Khondalite suite and Quartz Archean rocks along the Eastern Ghats. The Simhachalam hill range lies along this belt towards the North of the city. A variety of endemic flora and fauna lies on this range of hills. A group of enthusiasts went up the hill for a trek of 12 Km to and fro in the year 2014. I was one of them.

The trek was awesome as it was monsoon
