Overview of the destination Nicely placed valley. Nice lush greenery all along the driveway. Innocent tribals.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping Fairly good restaurant at Araku, But a really good one at Ananthagiri. Nothing much to be seen at Araku But a lot of places around araku worth seeing. The best of all are the Borra Caves, then comes the Kataki falls the trek to this falls is worth it. Chaparai will be enjoyed by kids. To top them all the tribal museum gives us a good overview of the tribal living conditions and their culture
Activities & things to do Get up early in the morning before daybreak and go for a walk on the misty road only to come back and to have a very very delicious Araku coffee
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc. If you are a driving freak choose the road, or else go by the train. The railway line to Araku from Visakhapatnam is an engineering marvel having about 42 tunnels all along the way. If you are lucky enough you may also come across some waterfalls along the track. By road the lush greenery will soothe your senses especially for the city junkies who don't come across a lot of this stuff.
