Deomali Hill or Araku Valley – which is better for a budget trek?
For a budget trek, I’m weighing Deomali Hill against Araku Valley. Deomali is Andhra Pradesh’s highest peak at 1672 m, open 24 hours and free to enter. Araku Valley is only about 60 km away and known for coffee plantations and waterfalls. Which spot offers more value for a cheap budget traveller? And are there affordable stays near Deomali?
