THE STORY
Araku Valley: a closer look
Araku Valley lies in the Eastern Ghats inland from Visakhapatnam. Its wooded hills, cultivated slopes and coffee landscape offer a contrasting experience to Andhra Pradesh’s coast. A visit is most rewarding when it includes time in the valley rather than only a viewpoint stop.
Regional meals are often centred on rice, lentils, pickles and distinctive spice combinations. Coastal seafood, Telugu crafts and temple-town traditions add different layers to a journey. Dietary preferences can be discussed before arranging meals.
Before you visit
Opening hours, access, tickets, photography rules and advance arrangements should be checked for your travel dates. Share any mobility or dietary requirements when requesting a programme.
