About
Forest eco-camp on the Araku road with log huts, trekking and birdwatching.
Tyda is a forested stretch of the Eastern Ghats on the Vizag–Araku road, about 75 km from the city. The Jungle Bells nature camp, run by AP Tourism with the Forest Department, offers log huts, tree huts and tents in the forest.
Activities include trekking, birdwatching and simple adventure games. Phone signal is weak, which is part of the appeal.
