The Bamboo (bongulo) chicken in Araku has been drawing foodies from far and wide to the valley. This delicacy is cooked inside a piece of the green bamboo stalk and uses a locally found herb to make the marination, giving the chicken a unique taste. You can also find a row of these stalls in Chaparai, another popular tourist destination near Araku. 

#4 Strawberries

Plucking ripened strawberries, and taking beautiful pictures with the plantations and fields, has been beckoning nature lovers to Araku Valley. The tribal community and the others have been encouraged to take up strawberry cultivation, as the soil and the area are the best fit for strawberry cultivation. Today, these plantations have turned into tourist destinations. 

#5 Madugula Halwa
