Araku Valley

INDIA

-

,Nestled in the Eastern Ghats of India, in the state of Andhra Pradesh, Araku Valley is a treasure trove of picturesqu­e landscapes and tribal culture. Not a feature on most tourist maps until a few years ago, the destinatio­n is pristine with lush green forests, misty mountains, and cascading waterfalls. But it is coffee that put Araku on the world map. The region cultivates a rich variety of Arabica coffee and should be on every coffee connoisseu­r’s list. Deep dive into its coffee culture with a visit to the Coffee Museum, which serves over 60 varieties made from local beans. A trip to the region is incomplete without a peek into the lives of its indigenous tribes, who are the flagbearer­s of Araku’s unique identity. The Tribal Museum is a great place to start. vizagtouri­sm.org
