FAQs On Erra Matti Dibbalu
Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India
Unique Geological Heritage and Formation: Erra Matti Dibbalu, translating literally to 'Red Earth Mounds', is a globally unique geological phenomenon and a designated National Geo-heritage Site in India. These striking red sand dunes, sculpted by millions of years of natural processes, are located b etween Visakhapatnam and Bheemunipatnam on the coastal stretch. The hills are composed of uncemented ferruginous (iron-rich) Pliocene to Quaternary sands, primarily formed during the Late Quaternary period, approximately 18,000 years ago, making them invaluable for studying paleo-climatic conditions and geological timelines. The deep red color comes from the iron oxide coating on the quartz grains. These formations, which can reach heights of up to 20 meters in some places, exhibit unique linear and parabolic shapes, continually molded by wind and rain. The site is a rare example of coastal formation of immense geological importance, providing evidence of sea-level and climate changes over the millennia, and is one of only three such unique coastal red sediment formations in all of South Asia. Its delicate nature makes it highly sensitive to erosion and human activity, underscoring its protected status. The landscape feels almost Martian, starkly contrasting with the green coastal foliage and the blue sea, offering a truly surreal visual experience unlike any other typical tourist spot in the region.
