The 2 Nights-3 Days Visakhapatnam-Araku-Simhachalam Tour Package from Vizag starts on arrival in Visakhapatnam and runs for 3 days by car, mixing city beaches, the Araku hills and the Simhachalam temple.

Route and travel

You are picked up at the Vizag airport, railway station or bus stand and taken to the hotel; standard check-in is around 11 AM. On day two the car leaves by 8 AM for Araku Valley, about 115 km away through the Eastern Ghats, a drive of 3 to 4 hours. Borra Caves is on the way back, around 40 km from Araku. The last morning is a short run to Simhachalam hill, about 16 to 20 km from the city. The description mentions an A/C vehicle, depending on the booking.

  • Lunch on the Araku day is on your own as per the plan; keep cash for small eateries.
  • The steps inside Borra Caves are damp and uneven, so wear shoes with grip.
  • Araku gets cold in December and January; pack a sweater for the early start.
