Explanation by: Admin

Araku Valley is a scenic hill station located in the Eastern Ghats, in the Andhra Pradesh state of India. It is situated about 114 km from Visakhapatnam, making Visakhapatnam the nearest major city.

  • It is known for its pleasant climate, tribal culture, coffee plantations, and picturesque landscapes.
  • The valley is also home to the Borra Caves, a popular tourist attraction.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • (B) Madurai – Located in Tamil Nadu, far from Araku.
  • (C) Kochi – Located in Kerala, on the southwestern coast.
  • (D) Mangalore – Located in Karnataka, on the western coast.

Thus, Araku Valley is closest to Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh.
