Experience the Best of Araku

It was set up with the goal of conserving and displaying the tribal culture of the region; that is why it is a part of most Araku Valley tour packages. The museum is fashioned out of mud and metal, and exhibits indigenous ways of living through the display of a variety of objects, including jewellery, musical instruments, local art and kitchen tools. You can find dioramas of dances, ritualistic rooms and hunting scenes at the museum. The Tribal Museum of Araku even has a Tribal Art and Crafts Centre which holds workshops and seminars promoting tribal and folk art.
Ananthagiri Coffee Plantations: The charming Ananthagiri that starts as you reach the Araku Valley, will greet you with several miles of coffee estates. Smell of coffee leaves is spread throughout the Valley, and would effectively rejuvenate your senses. Booking an Araku travel package would give you the chance to visit these coffee plantations that are deeply rooted in the history of the tribes of the Araku Valley. A visit to the plantations would enable you to learn a lot about the tribal population of the area, as many of them work at these plantations. In fact, the first organic coffee of India was produced in these plantations by the hard work and effort of the tribal groups.
Borra Caves: One of the most exciting parts of the Araku tour packages is a visit to the Borra caves. It is one of the biggest cave formations in the country and is perched at an elevation of about 705 metres. These million-year-old limestone caves feature stalagmite and stalactite formations that create quite a distinctive, otherworldly ambience. Borra Caves would surely enthral you with its magnificent rock formations and the play of light and shadows. The combination of darkness and sunlight conjures fascinating dancing shapes in the depths of the Borra Caves.
