Visakhapatnam to Araku Valley<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Araku Valley is a name that not many people have heard, so you can expect to enjoy respite from the roaring tourist crowds here. A jewel of the Eastern Ghats, this little valley is home to lush farmlands surrounded by thickly forested hills, in many ways akin to the scenery one would see in Bhutan! Once in the valley, you could just head out on the village roads, to see the beauty of the place, talking to tribals on the way.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fabhotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/araku-valley-1.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fabhotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/araku-valley-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.fabhotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/araku-valley-1-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fabhotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/araku-valley-1-768x499.jpg 768w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"650\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Route<\/strong>: Visakhapatnam\u2013Borra\u2013Araku Valley (115 km)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Highlights<\/strong>: Nature views, coffee plantations, waterfalls, tribal food, hiking opportunities, Borra Caves<\/li>\n<li><strong>Best Time to Go<\/strong>: October to June<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Madurai_to_Rameshwaram\"><\/span><strong>10.

Yes, this road trip takes you across the India Ocean, on the famous Pamban Bridge. On this 2-km long bridge, you will see nothing but the unending ocean, with regular swells, beneath you. Once in Rameshwaram, remember to visit the abandoned town of Dhanushkodi, which was destroyed in the cyclone of 1964. Looking at the ruins, you would be filed with awe at the might of nature, but will also love the sea views.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22845\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fabhotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kateel-Sri-Durgaparameshwari.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fabhotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kateel-Sri-Durgaparameshwari.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.fabhotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kateel-Sri-Durgaparameshwari-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fabhotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kateel-Sri-Durgaparameshwari-768x499.jpg 768w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"650\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Route<\/strong>: Madurai\u2013Ramanathapuram\u2013Rameshwaram<\/li>\n<li><strong>Highlights<\/strong>: Meenakshi Amman Temple, Pamban Bridge, Ramanathaswamy Temple, Dhanushkodi<\/li>\n<li><strong>Best Time to Go<\/strong>: October to February<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There you go\u2026here was our list of the\u00a0<strong>best road trips in India by car<\/strong>\u00a0or bike, which you must take at least once in your life.
