There was nothing in that place which I found interesting except for those subterranean Tora caves. No greenery; mountain slopes stand denuded of tree cover due to extensive deforestation.

We just wanted to go for a short tour before the next school session starts and chose to visit Araku valley and Visakhapatnam. We were not sure how would it turn out, but after reaching Araku valley, I must say it was a very good choice indeed. Every place has its own beauty and one cannot compare one with another.... More

Nothing much to do there except go to the tribal museum and botanical park. Nothing exciting in either of them. Only the tribal dance in haritha resort was good.

beautiful landscape, excellent climate, awesome people, the flowers scattered miles and miles on the mountains. Great place to chill out

Valleys, Mountain streams, Coffee plantations, Waterfalls (Mostly seasonal), the chill air, the fresh fragrance of the wilderness. The best time is from Oct to December, when the 'Avisi' crop harvests - with blooming yellow flowers across all patches, everywhere in the valley.
