Vizag & Araku

Finally…Away from the works, issues, , apps and computers…to a very high altitude place with lots of beautiful greenery soothing our eyes and thoughts…We would say, it was really a memorable experience!!


We, Googlers(11mem) had a trip to Vizag & Araku, a lovely hill station in the mid of (cool) December last year (2010). It boosted up our energies and the trips leveraged our unity and integrity.
We set off from the hyderabad on the nyt of monday , by gareeb rath train ,we had booked. All the way, we played jokes ,song- Esko saroja -- a  hoyabba , discussed views of the company , all the members are very sportive and they enjoyed pulling the frns (ratnakar) nose too!! Soon, we were in the outskirts of the beautiful steel-city Vishakapatnam , morning tueday we just started posing to the cameras in fog of the morning dlight , reached the Vizag station .

we started looking  for some taxi so that it qould be easy for us to navigate der in the vizag ,we got on Chevrolet tavera , driver called nagu very cool person but little tensed regarding the tym we took , as its morning time too! We dropped at a near-by inn. The inn is located near gokul theater , sarswathi residency  good one with  reasonable rates , all the members started bossing in the morning it self in the mean while every one started freshing up  finally we were ready for the trip .

then started immediately for the Yarda beach, in the middle we left one of  our frnd , A perfect beach to have a holiday out, Yarada beach, is located very close to the main city Vizag and offers wonderful scenery with the magnificent greenish around and soft golden sands. The beach is surrounded by picturesque hills on three sides with Bay of Bengal provides the exotic waves the fourth side, in journey itself we saw complete view from the hill located near to vizag , the complete view of vizag was awesome , the ghat road is full of red sand stone , very scarey because of the narrow road . there the sea was  full of high tides because of the full moon day, every one started getting into water , played alot in water till we exhausted (even the camera batteries are down ).


Then returned back to the hotel then started to the Rushikonda beach in da mean while had bakwas birayani at bombay restaurant (dont even try to go)
again as its a beach evry on started palying with the water.

then started for the kailasa giri temple (awesome road with full of colours thats gitams :-)) from there started to the kursura museum 










 








                            INS Kursura S20 was a submarine of the Indian Navy. It was one of the Soviet Foxtrot class submarines that were sold to India.

After it was decommissioned from service it was converted into a museum ship located at Ramakrishna Beach.we had lots of fun there in the museum , one of our frn romit started imitating the guide over there saying (denini torpedo antaru).after that we had evening breeze in the RK beach , for 1 hr i thing just sat down in the beach sand by look at the scenic beauty of the full moon  n the sea . then started to the hotel , in the nyt no one slept we a played a game called truth r dare . till the mrng, evry got freshed up ,and started to the station to catch the araku train , we were there by 5:30 , hell of crew for that train because of the journey which was awesome , 

here journey to this place on the Ghat road with thick forests on either side is in itself interesting and pleasant. One can have a wonderful trekking trip. Traveling on train gives you a memorable experience. A total of fifty-seven tunnels and numerous bridges will greet you on the way 

There we started our tour of the second day where in after coming out of the station we are flooded with the people of the guides and the travel agent , there in we spoke with the guys for the vechile to travel along with us, we got a jeep .
 

Staretd to the  katiki one of the biggest water falls in india the route to that place very freaky lots of sharp turns and hilley  with bakwas road which was very slippary,Driver informed us dat we can reach there only after a 20 min drive and 40 min trekking in the forest After walking nearly 40 min we reached the falls.Never had ride lyk dat ,no one of us will forget that ride in lyf very awesome:-)

Dusty, rickety pathways between patches of green fields and a snaky stream, a hundred steps and a two-kilometre trek amidst the thick greens is what takes us to this profoundly marvellous Katiki Waterfalls tucked away in the arms of the Eastern Ghats near Araku Valley

The trekking was tottally tiresome, still exciting and enjoyable. The falls were not very big but we were totally refreshed after a dip in those waters

Herez the Katiki inthe right very awesome with the freezy temp  felt like liquid nitrogen at that tym.

You can spend hours lazing in the cool clear water that flows all around the year. But even as we get ready to soak in the exuberant beauty of nature, disappointment strikes. Groups of youngsters come trooping in, splashing and soaking in the water. Enough to disturb the calm and serene tranquillity of the place, though very soon they too get lost in the amazing beauty of nature in its full glory! For all those looking for some respite from the scorching summer heat, here’s a nature delight waiting for uuuuuuuuuuuuu.................

 
Started from there with full of starving rats in the stomach immediately at the katiki itself took some stuff to eat every one fought for that because thatz the only stuff u get there , the came out of the jungle in between there was a railway track of araku and vizag where we played for a while ,see the madness and the creativity of the guys which was on the peaks 

check out thisss.....2 pics  really awesome .

Then started back to Borra which was the centre point for the tour .there we went to a hotel check the pic where food was realy awsome one will forget every thing verrrrrrrrry yummmmy:-)

The aunt uncle ho served the food was really cool very loyal, treated us lyk there kids , never forget to go there wen u have been to borra,

 then started to the Borra caves 

The popular legend is that a cow, grazing on the top of the caves, dropped 60 m  through a hole in the roof. The cowherd while searching for the cow came across the caves and saw this beautiful naturally formed inorganic precipitates "Stalactite & Stalagmite ". This is really very big cave in India one can have a great time by looking at the structures formed from this precipitates.here we can skip this ,because this not much than the ARAKU's beauty.

From there in the evening started to Araku in the same jeep that we have hired  that was a reallly freaky ride again on the ghat road of araku in night my friend made an ulti (ranjith)as he has a ghat road fobia .but that was good ride one can njoy atmost while travelling on this ghat ........Finally reached araku a small town but beautiful town we didnt notice much of its beauty as it was a dark night,as we have already booked a stay at haritha araku directly went there and got freshed up ourselves and started hunt for fodd that was really bad we couldnt find single restaurant with good food there in araku even in haritha that was bad ....so just had some thing like dat and came back to the suite and slept,by warning every one saying that we should get up early :).........next day murthy came first in to the room at that tym i was in the bed itself,the cold is needling the skin very much, he just asked me to open the balcony door guesss?????...................



That was awesome with the fog it 3 degress temperature nothing is visble out except fog and some near by trees there lots snails crawling on the paths in resorts dat was incredible .just went out like dat  with washing the face and had a coffee and cigars came back and started freshing up..
