Narrative:
At approximately 10NM southwest of janud at 5;500ft; received a terrain warning with a aural 'pull up'. Took evasive action and climbed to 7;500ft and leveled off. Notified ATC of the climb and warning. ATC informed us that MVA is 5;300ft and that we should not have received the egpws; but that it happens at times. We then were cleared for the approach and continued the the flight as normal.
