In 1954, he started a Coffee house, which catered to foreign delegates and coffee traders. However, it is now open to all.

The museum manned by educated tribal staff showcase a series of pictures detailing the origin and history of coffee. They market 60 varieties of coffees and an array of 600 coffee-chocolates.

The murals also illustrate the journey of coffee from being berries to being ground and roasted and brewed in a cup.

The Valley, which is located in the Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh, approximately 130 km away from the city of Visakhapatnam, was introduced to coffee plantations in 1898 by the British civil servant N.S.

Araku Valley is a hidden gem that exceeded my expectations. The lush green landscapes, cascading waterfalls, and the rich cultural experience made it a memorable trip. Katiki and Chaparai Waterfalls were breathtaking, offering a serene escape into nature. The culinary highlight was undoubtedly the Bamboo Chicken – a unique and flavorful dish that shouldn't be missed. The Tribal Museum provided valuable insights into the indigenous culture. Araku Valley's charm lies in its simplicity and the warmth of its people. I left with a sense of rejuvenation and a deep appreciation for this offbeat destination. Highly recommended for nature lovers and those seeking an authentic cultural experience.
