Superb Hill station in india
Nov 13, 2018 04:40 PM4314 Views

Overall, it was a nice place to visit with my child.Some places like the museum was pretty horrible place but it was OK considering the amenities provided.Would suggest everyone to go there if you are visiting Visakhapatnam. Lot of greenery but climate is not cool as need to be in a hill station.

Araku vally its really wonderfull place I enjoyed a lot in that the train journey from vizag to araku its superb view I realy enjoyed and lucky becuase I saw that view and the hills with greenary woowww I want to go once again and if any chance to me I want stay there. And the place I really like Katika waterfall its very cool bt I enjoyed very well and Borra Caves how natural how the hill like cave naturally superb and coffee trees and shooting spots and the chapa raiii is good and the famous dish bongulooo chicken yummyyy I like that very much its taste is something verity having different flavour totally its memorable to me.


The eastern hill station.
Jun 21, 2018 10:30 PM4685 Views (via Android App)

Araku is a very scenic hill station situvated about 120 kilometres away from the city of vizag . Well there are two ways you can come to this place usually . The first one is to take a train . ' kirandul passenger ' is the train which goes through araku and this starts at about 6 in the morning everyday . Now this train route is not like any other train route . This train goes through pleanty of caves and valleys amd climbs through a lot of twisted paths around the lush green mountains. This journey would be the beat train journey of your life. You cannot stop looking out of the window . So much of natural beauty all around you.


.


And the second thing you could do is take a bus or drive all the way till araku . The ghats of this place are just wonderful. You will literally feel like you are in munnar of kerla when you are driving here.


.


The food . well I would recommend to try the local food here . There are couple of places where people serve you some of the best local food in a typical old fashioned ambiance . And do try the local yet a famous dish called ' bongu chicken ' meaning bamboo chicken. This is a local dish where chicken is coated up with all spices and is stuffed in bamboo shoots and is cooked on coal . Trust me this has some amazing texture and flavour to it .


.


And if you are going to this place I would recommend to stay over here for the night just to see the sunrise or the early morning over here. Just book a good hotel for the night stay and enjoy the view. There are plenty of hotels which you can find online so dont worry.


.


So hope you like this place if you are visiting it any time soon.


Besutiful Place

Araku valley is a hill station close to Vizag in Andhra Pradesh. Though not comparable to other hill stations of south India like Ooty and Kodaikanal, it is a good option to cover if you are visiting Vizag along with Borra caves. There are some beautiful sunset views of Paddy fields in the Araku valley hills worth a visit.

The trip completely costs about 5000 including the hotels and transport excluding the food. The extra price it depends upon your expenses. The araku valley is located near to the vizag. One who wants to visit the araku valley have to go through the Vizag either by the train or bu the bus. While going towards the aaraku I went through the train. The tunnels in between the train journey and the filed and greenery, I can say that these are the beauty of Araku. One who loves the nature and the peaceful environment would love this place. The hotels are damn good. The cottages are really neat and clean. Some of the cottages are near to the sea shore. The water falls are one of the most sight seeing place in araku vally. There are some of the local tourist guides available so that they will help you to see the inner beauty of araku valley. If you want to hang out with the friends the road way is the perfect plan. While in my return journey I prefered by the road way You can easily reach the araku vally through the train or bu the bus. This is the less cost tour package you can afford. And this is the safest place to the tour.

Hi friends this is Khaleed Ahmed from Hyderabad.


Today I am going to share my experience travelling to araku valley which is in Andhra pradesh state.


I visited this place along with my few friends.we went by train and that was the best part of this journey to araku valley from Hyderabad.


Araku is a hill station which is 112 kms from vizag and 635 kms ftom hyderabad. We can see greenery every where we turn our head.


Some the best places we visited are botanical garden, borra caves, tribal museum, katiki water falls in our 4 days stay and we did stay 1 night out in jungle camp.That was very good and memorable.


Araku valley is very famous for its coffee plantation. This valley is good place for trekking and to view breath taking waterfall like katiki water falls which I mentioned above.


The journey to araku is adventures because it has 46 tunnels, several bridges and green valleys. Hotels and resorts are available at average cost but the taste of food is not good.


Ao I give this valley 3 stars and a big thumbs up.

Araku valley- a serene beauty
Aug 12, 2017 02:26 AM10884 Views

Located in the Eastern Ghats a beautiful valley called Araku, this place holds its own beauty, a serene place located approximately 114 km from Visakhapatnam or Vizag surrounded by the galikonda, raktakonda, sunkarimetta.


The valley is connected through railways, a passenger train leaves daily from Vizag station and takes approximately seven hours, from Araku station cabs are available to reach you to the destinations, also Araku is connected by roadways from Vizag. The journey to Araku is memorable as the trains pass tunnels, hill sides and streams.


The local sightseeing includes Padmapuram Gardens, tribal museums, coffee Museums, Chaparai waterfalls, Dumbriguda waterfalls, Araku is famous for its coffee plantation by the tribal farmers under the recognition of "Araku Coffee" the best time to visit Araku is throughout the year from February to December.


Araku offers a whole lot of options for staying from tribal cottages to hotels however it is advisable to pre-book your hotel to avoid last minute rush.


In terms of safety, this place is very safe this is what I felt staying among the locals.
