A very nice place and one must visit this place when going to a vizag tour. There is a botanical garden where varieties of plant species can be found. Most amazing about araku is to walk along hill road at evening but dont go beyond locality because it is not totally safe.
People there have their own culture which is attractive. Staying one night is enough to see all sightseeing. When coming back to vizag from araku the best way is to take road through hill, though it can cause some physical irritation for low pressure at high altitude but the beauty of seeing green at down from that high is unique.
