INTO THE ARAKU VALLEY
THE HARITHA JUNGLE BELLS RESORT
TYDA, NEAR VISAKHAPATNAM
GETTING THERE
The resort can be reached by road or train from Visakhapatnam. The nearest railhead is Tyda station, just two km from the resort. Jeeps and other means of transport are available from the station to the resort. There is a single train that leaves Visakhapatnam daily at 7 a.m. or you can take the buses and taxis run by the State Transport Corporation, APTDC and private operators.
THINGS TO DO
The historical Borra Caves are just five km from the resort, and a two km trek from the caves takes you to the 900-feet Kataki waterfalls. The APTDC also offers a refreshing four km trek through the forest early in the morning, touching a couple of tribal hamlets. You can also go about on a bicycle or give tribal archery a shot.
