This gem of nature, spread over 70.7 square kilometres, is less than a 10 minute drive from Andhra University. The Indira Gandhi National Zoological Park is a few 100 feet away. The forest department, which takes care of this Kambalakonda, arranges trekking up the hill early in the morning. Visitors can also hike along the trail that goes around a nice lake.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_622\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-622\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-622 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/myvizag.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/kambalakonda-pathway-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Pathway Kambalakonda\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myvizag.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/kambalakonda-pathway-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/myvizag.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/kambalakonda-pathway-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/myvizag.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/kambalakonda-pathway-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-622\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kambalakonda Trail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Along the trail is a sightseeing tower that gives a birds eye view of all the hills.
