karthik24-11-2011
Hi viewers ! I enjoyed a lot when I went to a trip arakku. Iam from eluru and most wonderful journey is
the train journey from visakhapatnam to arakku.I have ever seen such a beautiful journey . Here in arakku the hills and climate are completely different to that of vizag. Every citizen must have and visit such kind of environment especially students . Don't miss a chance you have trip to arakku .In arakku there are several waterfalls,
borra caves and museum and several gardens,shooting spots, a beautiful looking railway station and especially arakku valley. I have visit these in my summer holidays because cold climate in arakku avoids all our sorrows and
other bad feeling lead in summer. Don't miss it
