Araku Valley

The history of Araku Valley is closely tied to its indigenous tribal communities, who have inhabited the region for centuries. The area remained relatively isolated until the British colonial era when coffee plantations were introduced, shaping its economy. The construction of the railway line in the early 20th century significantly improved accessibility, opening up the valley to tourism. The region has seen a slow transition, with agriculture and tourism becoming significant contributors to the local economy. The valley's rich tribal heritage and unique culture continue to be preserved, attracting visitors interested in exploring its past and present.
