    If you’re already staying in Araku, a quick 12 km drive to Deomali is cheap and the trek itself costs nothing. The trail is well marked, so you can leave early, reach the peak before dusk, and head back without extra transport. Staying at a budget place like Vana Resort in Araku keeps lodging low while giving you a base for the day’s hike. This combo usually beats staying elsewhere and still gives you the high point experience.
