ARAKU VALLEY – The heart of 20 Million years old Eastern Ghats with pristine forests, valleys and mountains. The valley and its surroundings are inhabited by diverse tribal races and communities with varied eco-cultures and indigenous knowledge’s, which are spotless. The valley with undulated topography, dancing perennial rivers, rivulets and streams, waterfalls and rich bio-diversity with colourful natural flora and fauna is added to the elegance to the area. Embraced with all these possessions, the Araku valley and its surrounds is a replication of paradise on earth.

 

Hence with the vast experience in the region since 3 decades with tribal communities and their cultures and indigenous knowledge’s and expertise, IDEA ( Integrated Development through Environmental Awakening) has launched a cultural tourism programme in Araku and named it- SHANGRILLA in the Eastern Ghats
