Best time: October to March is the season: cool mornings, clear valley views and the best months for Vanjangi's sunrise. The monsoon from June to September turns the ghats green and the waterfalls full, with mist that can hide the views. April and May are warm but still cooler than the coast. Two days covers Borra caves, the valley, the coffee museum and the train leg; three days adds Vanjangi at sunrise, Lambasingi or a day in Vizag on the coast.

Fixed-date group departures leave from Vizag and Hyderabad: the travel, the stays, the meals listed and a trip captain in one price.
From Bangalore every trip is planned privately around your dates, and each city page says how to reach Araku Valley from there and what it costs.
Every trip on this page covers the places below; a private trip can drop one and add another.
A private trip runs the same plan at your own pace; a group departure follows it to the minute.
Araku Valley packages start at ₹9,999 per person: ₹9,999 for 4 days. That covers the stays, the local travel, the sightseeing and activities each trip page lists; the journey from your city is quoted with the trip so you can pick the train, bus or flight.
What moves the price is the room category, the season and the group size. Weekends, long weekends and the December fortnight cost more than a mid-week date, and a group of four to six brings the per-person price down because the car and the rooms are shared. Entry tickets and anything not named on the trip page stay out of the fare, so the number you see is the number you pay.
Vizag is the gateway: RK Beach, Kailasagiri and the submarine museum on the coast, then the climb to Araku, which is how nearly every trip here runs.
5 trips on this page, from ₹9,999 per person: 4 Days Vizag Araku Bliss (4D/3N, from ₹9,999); 4 Days Vizag Araku Vanjangi Bliss (4D/3N, from ₹10,499); 4 Days Vizag Araku Vanjangi Honeymoon (4D/3N, from ₹10,499); 4 Days Vizag Araku Honeymoon (4D/3N, from ₹10,499).
Vanjangi's sunrise above a sea of clouds needs a 4 am start, and Lambasingi, the coldest place in Andhra, is the other early morning worth setting an alarm for.
2 trips on this page, from ₹10,499 per person: 4 Days Vizag Araku Vanjangi Bliss (4D/3N, from ₹10,499); 4 Days Vizag Araku Vanjangi Honeymoon (4D/3N, from ₹10,499).

Families and couples take the private trips: the same places at your own pace, with the room category and the car chosen for your group.
October to March is the season: cool mornings, clear valley views and the best months for Vanjangi's sunrise. The monsoon from June to September turns the ghats green and the waterfalls full, with mist that can hide the views. April and May are warm but still cooler than the coast.
A jacket for the valley mornings, which drop to 10°C in December, and light cotton for the coast. Shoes for the Katiki falls walk, a torch for Borra caves, and warm layers if you are going up to Vanjangi before dawn.
Araku is 115 km from Vizag, about three and a half hours by road up 36 hairpin bends, or the morning Kirandul passenger train through 58 tunnels and 84 bridges, which is the reason many people come. The group trips use the road up and the train on one leg where seats allow.
Araku is about 700 km from Hyderabad, so the fixed-date group trips take the overnight train to Vizag and drive up the ghat the next morning. A flight to Vizag and a three-and-a-half-hour drive is the fastest way.
Chennai to Vizag is about 800 km by road, or 12 hours by train, and Araku is three and a half hours further up. Flying to Vizag and driving up is the usual plan.
This page answers one question. The hub lists the whole Araku Valley catalogue — every length, every departure city, group departures and private trips — with the same prices.
