Seshachalam Hills

Andhra Pradesh, located on the South-eastern coast of India, is a region of rich avian diversity due to its varied ecosystems, ranging from coastal wetlands and estuaries to dry savannas, riverine forests, and the Eastern Ghats mountain range. The state's unique combination of geographic features, diverse habitats, and seasonal climatic conditions make it a critical area for both resident and migratory bird species. The Seshachalam Hill Range is one of the most significant and ecologically rich mountain ranges in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Stretching across the Chittoor and Kadapa districts, this mountain range forms an integral part of the Eastern Ghats and plays a vital role in the biodiversity, ecology, and culture of the region. The hills not only provide scenic beauty and contribute to the climate but also support a diverse range of flora and fauna, many of which are endemic to the region.
