Papi Kondalu (Papi Hills) is a hill range in Khammam district of Andhra Pradesh , India .Papi kondalu are distributed among Khammam , East Godavari and West Godavari districts .

The entrance of Papi kondalu can be seen from Koruturu [West Godavari District] . The original name for this hill range was ‘' Papidi Kondalu ’' . Papidi is a rough translation for partition in Telugu. Since this range looks like a well designed partition that splits river Godavari , this name was coined . There is also another idea that the range looks like a partition of a typical Indian Woman's hair line. In due course , it settled for ‘'Papi Kondalu’'.
