112 km from Visakhapatnam, Araku Valley is green and pleasant. The journey to the valley either through the ghat road or by train passing through several tunnels is a pleasure. AP Tourism conducts a rail-cum-road package tour to Araku from Visakhapatnam. The major attractions in Araku are a tribal habitat museum, a tribal village, traditional folk dances including the famous tribal dance called "DHIMSA" (arranged by A.P Tourism on request).
