Step into nature's retreat

Venture a little further from Vizag, and you'll uncover the enchanting Araku Valley, a treasure trove of natural beauty. Surrounded by majestic mountains and lush forests, this valley unfolds like a captivating dream. Perched at an elevation of 2,990 feet, the Eastern Ghats' lofty ranges provide solace to nature enthusiasts and thrill-seekers alike. The mesmerising Chaparai Waterfall, also known as Dumbriguda Falls, adds to the valley's allure.
