@Kamal,

If you have decided to do it by Train, APTDC's Rail cum Road tour will be a better option. You could book online or book this once you reach Vizag too..I am not sure it makes any difference between week-day and week-end But We visited only on a week-end and found to be ok !


Hope this helps
Velu

The train journey is the same, but for that you will find company during the weekends.

My suggestion is to travel by Train upto Borra Caves, explore the same and walk down (you can take a jeep as well if you want to travel by road) towards the Aaraku - Visakhapatnam highway road and then to Tyda Resort for the night stay.

Next day morning visit Aaraku and water falls nearby and come back to Visakhapatnam by dusk to catch your train back to Hyderabad.

Thumbs up This would also be better!!!!

My suggestion is to take a taxi or cab from vizag or Araku.
Ask the taxi person to reach burra caves and you travel by train...no worries you will not be bothering about the vacancy of the train as you will be enjoying the scenery and those wonderful tunnels.
Next is get down at burra station and do the site seeing and reach araku and other places.
For more info on araku travel by road....check out my blog

Good peace of information but in too many pieces. I could not get complete information on touring Vizag that I indeed required.

Anyways...thanks for sharing
