Dear Madhu,

Hello Madhu, this letter is regarding the trip for the summer vacation as planned earlier. After surfing through internet, I have decided to plan our camping in Araku, that is located near Vishakapatnam in Andhra pradesh.

To start with, I think this place would be a perfect choice for exploring. I heard that this place is so famous that many movies has used this location to shoot important scenes. To my remembrance, i have seen a song in the movie named “Happy Days”, where a group of college friends would go for camping to this place. Since then, i had a special interest on this particular attraction.

In addition to that, i also heard that there are few points to be noted before travelling. We have to be cautious about the weather and the stay during night. Since, we have planned to go in the month of April, we have to check the weather forecast and be prepared to carry essential things with us. While we are staying at night in a camping tent, we have to make sure that we are safe. As there might be few individuals who might be a bit risky enough strolling around and attempt to theft.

I am joining with you in this tour, i have already taken permission from my parents regarding this. I am even more excited to the fact that, my parents have visited this place after their marriage for the first time. So it would be very delightful to explore the places around with their guidance.

See you Soon, Priya
