Abstract


Aruku Valley is a narrow strip of land about seven miles in length, two miles in width and is situated on the Visakhapatnam- Jeypore road at a distance of about 71 miles from Visakhapatnam. It has an altitude ranging from 2,500 to 5,000 feet. A stream called Pathalagedda which is a tributary of the Machkhund river, runs in the middle of the valley and the land slopes gently towards the stream from either side. The valley is 5,705 acres in extent, and is very thinly popu- lated by hillmen.
