Arku is a hill station in vishakapatnam district in the state of Andhra Pradesh . To make our trip better experience , we preferred travelling by road. we were group of 8 . It was a trip From Secunderabad to Araku distance to be travelled was 700km. The trip was of about 3 days. We Booked a descant Force vehicle, which is mini bus which was a comfort zone to travell in . All the 8 of us had to gather at my place to start the journey. we started at about 10 a.m .It was a perfect start for an adventures journey. we halted at a dhaba named as "Lal singh Hisghway Dhaba: which was 2hrs far away from vizag. We had all our tummy's packed and Headed towards vizag. We reached Vizag at 7 pm . Check d in at Balaji Hotel booked in vizag. Finished our dinner at 10 . Once we hit our bed , we all wear in a deep sleep . We Had to Start our journey the next mourning by 9 in the mourning to araku valley.
Day2: We Started our journey early mourning to Araku. It was one of the pleasant and adventurous trip.
The journey to this place on the Ghat road with thick forests on either side is in itself interesting and pleasant.
There was a waterfall located around 7kms from Burra caves, it was very narrow road only allotted jeeps can drive through that road. Jeeps will stops at certain point, after that we have to climb few hills to get near to the waterfalls. In middle we will came across railway tract on top of hill where a famous song from "Happy Days" was shot. We visited few of the tea estates over there . it was the only session informative in the entire trip. Visited the Borra Caves it is located in the Anatagiri Hills of Eastern Ghats,in araku. have to say the place was very slippery and stinky too . So we halted at resort in araku .
Day3: The sad part was we were heading Back home . We stated at 10am in the mourning and reached secunderabad by 7 pm
I enjoyed each and every moment there with the mesmering nature.If anyone got chance do visit Araku valley and its beauty.
