Visakhapatnam Travel Guide
The land of the golden beaches was just over half a century ao a small fishing
village. One would be amazed at the manner in which this port city with
a natural harbour developed into one of the fastest growing cities in Asia.
Vast stretches of beaches right next to the city on one side and undulating
green hills on the other have made Vizag, as it is endearingly called, a
tourist haven.
An ideal destination, it caters to the religiousminded, the Buddhist pilgrim,
the fun-lovers and adventure-seekers. A number of beaches and a long stretch
of road along the sea-shore up to Bheemunipatnam town, the second oldest
municipality in the country, are a pleasure to experience.
No trip to Vizag is complete without a sojourn at Araku, 110 km away, a
lovely valley nestled amidst the high Eastern Ghats. Simhachalam temple,
Rishikonda beach, the Dolphin's Nose hillock projecting into the sea enchantment
unlimited - that is Visakhapatnam.
