    First trip HYD-Araku need suggestions

    Hello everybody i am Abdul Munaf from Hyderabad.I am very new to xbhp and doesn't have much of biking experience or doing the roadtrips on bike.I follow and read plenty of threads and experiences shared by Xbhpians and i am so much inspired by all the travelogues that i can't wait to do my first ever roadtrip.

    I work in UAE and usually visit Hyderabad twice or thrice a year.This time i will be coming to Hyderabad in December as i think the weather will be much cooler and nicer in this time of the year and it will be a great experience to do a trip in December.

    I am planning for a 4 day trip towards HYD-Araku-HYD ,As i read some threads of Araku specially by Mr.Ravi Varma and Mr.Sandeep patnala from AP which are really helpful for us.They captured the route they took and Araku beautifully and inspired me for doing this trip and experiencing this amazing place in AP.

    I collected some information and started planning routes and places to visit.I will mention what all i planned so that our xbhpians can filter it out and help me out in planning my trip in a much better and safer way.I own a yamaha FZ Fi v2.0 but i was thinking of borrowing a 200 or 250 cc bike from my friend or hiring one (Still not sure) and completing this trip,, Suggest please.

    My Plan : First week of December 2014

    -Day 01: start around 1pm from Hyd and reach Rajahmundry (via NH9) and stay overnight in Rajahmundry.

    -Day 02: early morning start from RJY and riding through Maredumilli -sileru-paderu (please suggest if the forest route is safe for riding alone) and reach Araku till evening and check in.

    -Day 03:Early morning check out and visit Borra caves and a waterfall i heard somewhere near to Borra caves and then ride towards ananthagiri hills and then towards RJY (i am not sure whether i can be able to complete this Araku-RJY within a day and stay in RJY for night)

    -Day 04: Start early morning from RJY and reach HYD.

    So little bit nervous as i am very new to doing roadtrips so doesn't have much experience in planning all the stuff needed to complete a roadtrip.Hence i would request all our experienced xbhpians to please suggest me the things i need to be careful when doing this roadtrip and please provide me some details regarding.

    - Proper routes to be taken
    - Road conditions
    - Things to carry
    - Good places to stay
    - Etc..

    I apologise if i missed any guidelines of posting a thread or not using proper English and grammar.

    Thank You

        Its difficult to cover Rajamundry to Araku via Maredumilli and Sileru in one day. Alternatively, I suggest you to ride to Maredumilli directly from Hyderabad via Bhadhrachalam. On day 2, you can start from Maredumilli and reach Araku via Sileru and Paderu by evening. From Araku, you can reach Borra Caves via Ananthagiri hills ghat. By night you can reach Anakapalli. On day 4, you can ride back to Hyderabad from Anakapalli to Hyderabad.

          Thank you Ravi bhai for the valuable suggestion.Like you suggested to ride directly to Maredumilli from Hyderabad via Bhadhrachalam.Here i want to mention a small alternative plan which iam little bit interested since i started planning a ride to Araku but need your suggestion on this.My initial plan was to ride through HYD-Warangal-Etunagaram-Bhadrachalam and stay in Bhadhrachalam for night.I found the road from Etunagaram to Bhadhrachalam very scenic in a couple of threads on Xbhp.Here i request you to suggest me whether i can ride to Maredumilli via Warangal-Etunagaram-Bhadhrachalam on the same day or is it better to stop at Bhadhrachalam on (Day 01) and plan maredumilli-Sileru-Araku on (Day 02).
