Andhra Pradesh

Vizag & Araku Valley

Visakhapatnam's beach promenades and hilltop viewpoints, then a winding drive through the Eastern Ghats to the coffee-scented hills of Araku Valley — the Bay of Bengal and the Borra Caves in one circuit. Best travelled September–February, when the coast is cool and Araku's hills stay green.
