There are daily trains from Araku to Visakhapatnam starting at 7:00 am. The trekking distance, from the bottom of the hill,  is 10 km and will take approximately two hours to reach the peak.

September to February is the best time to visit the Jindhagada and Armakonda Hills and enjoy the bliss of nature. Additionally, December and January are the ideal months to go on a trek to the highest peak in the Eastern Ghats. One could see the nature at its best with the spectacular view of the valley and the  misty clouds right from sunrise to the sunset. They can have a breathtaking view, at a height of 5,540 feet above sea level, from atop the Jindhagada Hill. The lush green plantations, on the two sides of the path uphill, will give you a pleasant outdoor experience. This is an ideal trekking destination for nature lovers with moderate difficulty.
