DAYWISE TOUR ITINERARY
Day 1 Kailasagiri
Two giant forty feet statues of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati in pristine white will fill you with awe and wonder as you visit this park located atop a 360 feet hill. This place offers a great view of the sea, the beaches, and forests along with the city with an aura of tranquility and serenity. You can stroll in the well-kept park and indulge in some adventure activities like paragliding. If you have kids along with you they can enjoy a ride on the circular train which goes around the park. A cable car that takes you to the top of the hill adds to the excitement of visiting this park.
Day 2 Beemilli beach
It is one of the popular beaches of Vizag and rightly so for the gorgeous view it offers of clean waters, yellow sand and mild waves lashing at the shore. Also known as Bheemunipatnam beach, it is located at the confluence of Gosthani River and the Bay of Bengal. Don’t miss taking your pictures at the remains of a 17th-century fort and cemetery, which dates back to the days of Dutch colonies in India. The beach is lined with tall palm trees which lend it the perfect look straight out of a painting. This beach is safe for swimming unlike some other beaches of Vizag which experience very high tides.
Day 3 Submarine Museum
The very first thing that takes you by surprise at this museum is the fact that it is not inside a brick and mortar building but an actual submarine called the INS Kurusura. It was India’s 5th submarine and served the Indian Navy for 31 years before being decommissioned in 2001. The museum is located at RK beach and can be covered on the same day as you visit this beach.
There are artifacts in this museum that give the visitors an insight into living inside a submarine with the fear of being confined in a space underwater and surviving on limited rations. Pictures and articles in this museum are awe-inspiring and give visitors glimpses into the life of marine soldiers. This Submarine museum is the only one of its kind in the whole of Asia and you must not miss the opportunity of visiting it when in Vizag.
Day 4 Matsyadarshini Aquarium
The little ones will enjoy it as much as adults when they see colorful marine life in glass tanks. A visit to this place is like going underwater to witness different kinds of fishes frolicking in the water. The aquarium is at RK beach and close to Submarine Museum. Some of the marine wonders which you will get to see here are butterflyfishes, longhorn cowfish, surgeon major, the lionfish, peacock wrasse, sweet lip rabbitfish, and electric ray, among other delights. This place is also home to a few rare species of marine invertebrates.
Day 5 Rishikonda beach
You cannot have enough of beaches if you are in Vizag and this beach is on the list of everyone visiting. Rishikonda Beach is located on the coast of the Bay of Bengal and has earned itself the name ‘Jewel of the East Coast’ because of its surreal beauty and pristine natural landscape. The beach is merely 8 km from the port and is worth a visit. The frothy waves of the ocean and the emerald green backdrop provide a picture-perfect setting for a good book, a bottle of suntan lotion and a beach towel. You can swim under the supervision of experts here and engage in watersports like water surfing, speed boating and jet skiing at this beach.
Day 6 Dolphin’s Nose
Looking like a dolphin’s snout or nose, this 174 m rocky land is a fascinating site with the part of the rock looking like the nose pointing out towards the Bay of Bengal. There is a lighthouse close to the beach which transmits light to as far as 64 meters into the sea. Close to Dolphin’s Nose is a hill that forms the backdrop of Yarada beach.
Day 7 Yarada beach
Surrounded by the hilly landscape on its three sides and flanked by waters of the Bay of Bengal on the fourth, this beach is lined with tall green banana and coconut trees and filled with soft yellow sand. It is one of the best beaches of Vizag but is still one of the untapped attractions, which is one reason behind it being one of the cleanest beaches here. You would find several eating joints at the beach serving all cuisines and you can spend some time relaxing at this beach. Since this is a pet-friendly beach, you would find many local people here with their pooches.
