Visakhapatnam
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.
Visakhapatnam TourismVast 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 religious minded, 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.
