- The Hiking World editorial · author
Desk byline for seed records. Named surveying editors replace this once a trail is verified.
Day climb to a 14th-century hill fort in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district. No OSM hiking path; map pins are sourced place coordinates, not a walking track. Days (1) is a day-trek stamp, not a thru-window.
Figures marked provisional are seed data and still need verification. Source and last-checked date sit under each cited value.

Option B ingest (2026-08-20): Overpass found no route=hiking relation and no named highway=path. Geometry is pin-to-pin from OSM node 5395682099 (named Rachakonda) to the Wikipedia / Wikidata Q7279103 coordinate for Rachakonda Fort (17.18222°N 78.80250°E). That 2D length is not a walking distance. Indiahikes ~2.5 km is a lead only and was not written into a DataPoint.
History is attributed, not a DataPoint: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachakonda_Fort, checked 2026-08-20) dates the fort to around 1360 and names Recherla Anapotanayaka. Verticals are Copernicus GLO-30 at the two pins (~550 m); they do not measure the rock steps. Carry water; no named WaterSource was cited on an official page.
Water
No water sources recorded.
Permits & fees
