Papi Hills, hill range in Andhra Pradesh, India

Papi Hills is a hill range in Andhra Pradesh, India, near Rajamahendravaram, forming the core of Papikonda National Park. The hills rise from the Godavari River and are covered with deciduous forests that provide habitat for tigers, leopards, and other wildlife.

The area was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1978 and later became a national park in 2008. The construction of the Polavaram dam in 2014 altered the park's boundaries and affected the landscape.

Local tribes such as the Koya and Konda Reddi live in and around the hills, and their traditions are part of the area's identity. Visitors may see their villages and weekly markets, where forest produce and handicrafts are sold.

The best time to visit is from November to February, when the weather is cooler and the roads are dry. Access is mainly by road from Rajamahendravaram, and a boat ride on the Godavari offers views of the hills; carry water and snacks as facilities are limited.

The Godavari River cuts through the hills, creating a gorge that is one of the few places where you can see both river and forest wildlife together. The hills are also home to the rare Indian giant squirrel, which is often spotted in the canopy.
