The adjacent figure is a view of the Gostani River from Borra Caves. After stopping by the Borra Caves move on to the sights and sounds of the lush green Araku Valley. Extending over 36 sq. kms., and located at an altitude of 610 to 915 meters above sea level, the Araku valley lies about 112 kms. from Visakhapatnam. Still untouched by modernity, traditional folk dances like Dhimsa and Mayuri  are performed  here. The valley, in its pleasant climate, with orchards and the Ananthagiri Hills, is a memorable experience. Araku offers the most awe-inspiring sights, if one takes a journey by train from Visakhapatnam.
