    You could leave around 6 am from Paderu so you get to Araku by mid morning, spend a few hours there, then head straight to the caves. The Araku to Borra drive is only about 30 km, so you’ll finish the cave tour by early afternoon and still have time to return. A private taxi or a hired car gives the most flexibility, especially if you want to stop at a coffee plantation or the Tribal Museum on the way. If you prefer public transport, the local buses run between Paderu and Araku, but the next leg from Araku to the caves is less frequent, so check the timetable ahead of time. If you decide to stay overnight, Casa Woods Resort @ Araku Valley is conveniently located near the main road and within walking distance of the town centre.
