We travelled Araku valley during November 2012. The weather was very cold compared to other places at Andhra Pradesh that time at araku. Stayed at AP Tourism Haritha Mayuri Resort. Pictures are taken in my Nikon P510.
One special thing we have tested at Araku is Banboo chicken. Chicken are roasted after inserting into the bamboo. It is a tribal ethnic food. Without using any salt it is prepared. We enjoyed it.
