Katiki Waterfalls
This 120+ feet high cascading waterfall has to be reached by 20-30 minutes trek (one way) through lush forest and upwards to mountain top from the nearest motorable road. To reach this waterfall from Araku, you have to take Borra Caves road at Mulyaguda junction between Vizag and Araku (around 30 Kms from Araku, after Anantagiri). Cross the Borra Caves railway crossing on the same road. Nearly 2 Kms from the railway crossing, you have to take left turn where the straight road takes to Borra Caves (caves are 2 Kms from here). After 300 meters on the same road, take a left turn and go for about 4-5 Kms. The road ends at the railway track near Tunnel #44. From here, you have to cross the railway track and go straight trekking the mountain. The falls are nearly 20-30 minutes trek from here and the path is narrow and slippery.
Aug to Dec is the best season.
