Araku Valley

Araku Valley is Andhra Pradesh's most beautiful hill station — a lush tribal highland at 910 m in the Eastern Ghats, 115 km from Visakhapatnam, famous for its emerald coffee plantations, waterfalls, and Borra Caves. The Araku train journey through 58 tunnels and 84 bridges is one of India's most scenic rail routes. A top Visakhapatnam day-trip and Andhra Pradesh tourism destination. Cool climate year-round makes it ideal even in summer. Book train tickets well in advance.
