Sunrise, sunset point at Mallappa Konda

Mallappa Konda in Gudupalle mandal of Kuppam region is located at the tri-State junction of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. The picturesque hill is home to the 500-year-old Lord Malleswara Swamy temple, which draws thousands of devotees from across the three states, with crowds peaking during the Maha Shivaratri and Karthika month festivities. Its sunrise and sunset views have made it a popular weekend destination for visitors, mostly from Bengaluru and Kolar. A newly laid serpentine ghat road culminates at the summit. A highlight of the hill is that one can stand in both Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, with two legs apart.
