Museum of Habitat (admission 10; h10am1pm & 2-5pm) with exhibits on indigenous life. APTDC runs tours ( 500) from Vizag, which take in a performance of Dhimsa, interstate 279 a tribal dance, and the million-year-old limestone Borra Caves (admission 40, camera 100; h10am-1pm & 2-5pm), 30km from Araku.
The old beach-resort vibe exists despite the fact that Vizag is Andhra Pradesh s second-largest city, famous for shipbuilding, interstate 279 steel manufacturing and now, call centres, interstate 279 software and film production. It s a big, dusty city, but it s surrounded by little gems:

One of the best international menus in town also features (less expensive) interstate 279 Mexican, Thai, pizzas and veg dishes, and lots of imported liquor.
