You can now go for night tours in the forests of Araku Valley aka Ooty of Andhra Pradesh

The Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (APTDC) is planning to introduce Night Vihar tourism package to let tourists trek through the dense woods of Visakhapatnam in the middle of the night.
For the first time ever, the Araku forests have been made reachable to trekkers willing to explore the wilderness at night. To accomplish this tour, representatives of the forest and tourism department will accompany the tourists for the night time visit to ensure their safety. Jeeps will be used for visiting the forests for Night Vihar. In addition, the forest authorities have taken the possible measures to keep the tourists assured of their safety.

The short-cut to Araku via Sunkarametta from Vizag or Visakhapatnam has been chosen for conducting Night Vihar tours.

Araku Valley has remained off-the-tourism-radar for a long time. It is a hill station, also known as Ooty of Andhra Pradesh, for its beautiful hills, abundant forests, river streams and lots of fresh air. It is ideal for a visit between October to March when the weather is cooler.

Fortunately, Araku Valley has its own railhead, with direct trains connecting it to Visakhapatnam. By air, tourists can reach Araku Valley by taking a flight to Visakhapatnam, and then hire a cab or board a bus/train to Araku. En route Araku, tourists also prefer taking a break at Punyagiri, which is a wonderful pilgrimage destination known for its temple and wat erfall.
