The land of the golden beaches was just over half a century ago a small fishing village. One would be amazed at the manner in which this port 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 a 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 read 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, 110km away, a lovely vallly nestled amidst the high Eastern Ghats. Simhachalam temple, Rishikonda beach, The Dolphin's Nose hillock projecting into the sea....... enchantment unlimited - that is Visakhapatnam.
