Itinerary
Our Little Adventure Plan: Your 2-Day Galikonda Itinerary
Day 1: Into the Green & Camping by the Stream
Morning Vibes: We’ll all meet up at Hanumanthuwaka in Vizag – think excited faces and a shared thrill for what’s ahead! Grab some breakfast with us on the way as we journey (about 3 hours) to the beautiful Araku region.
Coffee & Base Camp: First, a little warm-up hike through a fragrant coffee plantation – the smell is just divine! Then, we’ll reach our base point, enjoy a tasty Veg Biryani for lunch, and take a short breather.
The Main Ascent: Time to hit the trail! We'll hike about 6km up to our campsite for the night. It’s a lovely spot, tucked away in what we call the "valley of streams."
Evening Feels: Let’s set up our tents (we’ll share them, 3 people to a tent, mens and women get separate ). You can wander around, explore our vast camp area, or even take a refreshing dip in the little pool next to our campsite!
Campfire & Stars: As the sun dips, if the weather gods are kind and we find enough firewood, we’ll get a campfire going. Dinner will be simple but delicious – Chapatis with Vegetable Curry – shared under a canopy of stars, with plenty of stories and laughter.
Day 2: Reaching the Top
Good Morning, Mountains! Wake up to the fresh mountain air. We’ll have breakfast together – maybe some Multi-grain Bread with Peanut Butter or Maggie.
Summit Push: Let's go for the peak! We’ll hike up to the summit of Galikonda. Once there, we’ll take a good 30 minutes just to breathe it all in – those incredible views are worth every step!
Downward Trail: Time to head back down to our base point, full of achievement.
One Last Meal: We’ll have a good Veg Meal for lunch and then start our journey back to Vizag.
Chai Stop & Farewell: A quick tea break on the way, and then it’s back to the city, hopefully with tired legs but very happy hearts!
