About Ramatheertham
Three rocky hills 12 km from Vizianagaram. Bodikonda has the Kodanda Rama temple that pilgrims climb to, while Gurubhaktulakonda and Durgakonda hold Buddhist and Jain remains dated from about the 3rd century BCE onward, now protected by the ASI. The climb is on rough steps over bare rock, so start early. Sri Rama Navami is the main festival.
