Padmapuram Gardens
A horticultural garden created during World War II to supply vegetables to troops, now most popular with families for its treehouses and garden train.
Padmapuram Gardens was established around 1942 as a horticultural farm supplying vegetables to garrisoned troops during World War II. It was later converted into a botanical garden. The garden has a variety of flowers, fruit trees and rare plants. The most popular attractions are the treehouse cottages built in large trees, where you can stay overnight, and the small train circling the garden, ideal for a stroll with children. It is not large, and a visit takes about an hour. Located on the north side of Araku town, about 2 kilometers from the Tribal Museum, it charges a cheap admission. The coordinates are estimated from Padmapuram village.
