Better known as Vizag, Vishakapatnam possesses beaches comparable to Goa, there in the league of the areas with the finest beach resorts in India. Only here in Vishakapatnam, the landscape is more pastoral.
The pace of life in Vishakapatnam is a tad slower and serene with its historic past seemingly haunting – and haunting beautifully.
Maybe it’s because of the presence of a war memorial pillar built by Sri Raja Venkata Svetchelapathi Ranga Rao Bahadur.
Or maybe Vishakapatnam’s picturesque port, regarded as one of the finest natural harbours in the world.
Or maybe the in stunning architectural ruins of the palaces of Taramati and Premamati with remains of arched dance halls, alcoves and fountains of the once-marvelous palaces. |
