Comprehensive Visakhapatnam (Vizag) Tour Guide

Comprehensive Visakhapatnam Tour Guide Feature Image

Visakhapatnam also know as Vizag always fascinates me by its dynamic offering, this place got almost everything, hills, caves, temples, sea beaches, and some finger-licking foods. Very few places in India could make someone experience sea and mountains on a single trip and Vizag is one of those rare places.

I have been to different places around Vizag at different times. First I heard about this place in my school life, we had an excursion there. Second during my Kolkata – Kanyakumari Ride, after that while returning back Kolkata from Bangalore last year (2017) and finally in 2019 during Durga Puja.

Although, I admit that I missed a couple of remarkable things there like Simhachalam Temple & Vizag – Araku train ride, but I am writing this to encourage everyone out there to have a visit at least once in a life.

Accommodation in Vizag

I would prefer to stay near/at RK Beach which ensures local sightseeing by walk and you can relax even on sea beaches. Balaji beach guest house and Beach lane holiday home will be my choice to stay in Vizag, first one is a budget accommodation @Rs. 1200/- approx and the second is more towards coziness & homely feeling @Rs. 2000/- (we had very good Bengali food here in 2016).

There are many budget hotels available near the railway station area but the beach will be a little far. Also, there are numerous holiday homes available from different banks or government offices.

Sightseeing

Visakhapatnam has numerous sightseeing spots and almost every place is either very scenic or informative. If you are planning to visit all the places minimum of three days will be needed to cover most of the places.

Kailashagiri

Probably, this one is the most famous point people consider visiting in Vizag. This park located at an elevated height of 173 meters, it also serves a magnificent view of Rishikonda Beach and part of Vizag city. The Shiva & Durga sculpture will definitely wonder everyone. For a 360 degree view, you can ride the toy train and ropeway at a very nominal cost. Even a few food stalls are available to have snacks or lunch.

Generally known as Simhachalam temple, is located 500 meters above the sea and approx. 20 Kilometers away from the main city. Don’t miss the bird’s eye view of the city from the top while visiting. Truly, despite my multiple visits to Vizag, I always missed this place due to some unavoidable reasons, but it will on top priority during my next visit.

As per local cab drivers, everyone needs to take a bus from downhill to reach the temple although not sure about reality.

  • Special Darshan INR 100.

Araku is approx. 120 kilometers from Vizag at an average elevation of 1000 meters and on the way you can see a lot of places like Galikonda View Point, Katiki falls, Borra caves. I visited Araku more than a decade ago, still, I can rejoice those memories. This place is not for visiting tourist attractions although we got a tribal museum there which demonstrates tribal life, rather relaxing.

  • Timing: 9 AM to 7 PM.

Tribe Museum Araku

I did not get a chance to visit Galikonda View Point & Katiki falls due to road construction but definitely will go on the next visit.

While Araku valley offers you relaxing weather, the other side Borra cave will feel you wonder.

One of the largest caves in India and deepest too. It is made of Karstic Limestone and located at an average elevation of 700 meters. You have to pay for entry tickets as well as photography devices. You can check biological and geological environment details here . Peoples say there are approx 440 steps, you need to climb down to explore the cave. The inside temperature of the cave is always less than outside. The formations look more attractive with the RGB lighting, fitted by APTDC.

Try to explore the cave completely and witness one of the millions of wonders of nature. For heart patients, think before you move down because you have to climb while returning and the last piece of advice would be to watch before the rush, most of the surface may feel slippery.

  • Entry Fees: Adult INR 60 & Child INR 45.
  • Timing: 10 AM to 5 PM.
  • Mobile camera INR 25, Still camera INR 100 & Video camera INR 100.

Borra Cave

Also, don’t forget to visit Ramanaidu Studio, Bheemli Beach. There are few more places I never been to but others recommend visiting like Simhachalam, Ketaki Falls, and Indira Gandhi National Zoological Park, etc.

  • Zoological Park Entry Fees: Adult INR 20 & Child INR 10. Tuesday to Sunday 9 AM to 5 PM and Monday closed.
  • Ramanaidu Studio Entry Fees: Adult INR 50 and Child INR 25. Camera INR 60.

Fooding Option

Although you will get all types of cuisine here. I would recommend trying South Indian food, those are cheap and tastes good too. Try filter coffee, Dosa, and Idli. If you don’t like these, move out a little bit you will find Puri-Sabji, Momos or bread toasts, etc. Those who love Bengali food may taste at Sonar Bangla and other restaurants. If you love Mughlai or tandoori dish, try Hotel Kamat.

If you are non-vegetarian and love chicken, don’t forget to order Bamboo Chicken before entering Borra cave, they will take 50% as advance and serve you once back. I am damn sure, everyone will love it.

Best time to visit Visakhapatnam

Vizag remains pleasant to moderate throughout the year. But I would always recommend visiting after the monsoon, these time greenery will be more and the waterfall will have plenty of flow too. Generally, you will feel the heat in the daytime and a pleasant cold at night. December-January will be very cold at Araku and inside borra cave especially but overall feel better.

Transportation for sightseeing

If you are in the budget, reserve an auto for day sightseeing else hotel guys can help to book a cab for you. For Araku sightseeing, you can take a train which routes many tunnels and jungle. Visit Borra Cave and board into the reserved car to Araku and return the next day by car (few people find it more convenient due to the onwards journey schedule from Vizag). Always research before you book transport and justify the rates.

Suggested Itineraries

  • Day 1: Reach Vizag, explore RK Beach, and visit Matsyadarshini, INS Kurusura, TU 142 Aircraft museum near the beach in the evening.
  • Day 2: Reserve your cab/auto for the day, places to cover Simhachalam Temple,  Indira Gandhi National Zoological Park, Kailasagiri, Rishikonda Beach, Visakha museum.
  • Day 3: Take train/cab to Araku, on the way Borra cave.
  • Day 4: Visit Tribal museum, Araku. Start towards Vizag on the way visit Kataki falls, Galikonda View Point. If you reach early you may plan for Dolphin nose, Harbour, Yarada beach, few more places.
  • Day 5: Leisure day.

You can modify according to your taste and requirement.

20 thoughts on “best places to visit in visakhapatnam (vizag)”.

Visakhapatnam is such a beautiful city, with so much to offer. I’m dying to visit here after reading your blog. Thanks for sharing such a great collection of beautiful places to visit. I’m definitely saving it for later.

Such a great variety of things to do; from beaches to caves, taking in submarine museums and airplanes. The clean beach is a bonus too.

You make it sound so great! I would love to go to the waterfalls, the nature preserve and both museums. How convenient that the museums are right across the street from each other too!

I have been to a few submarine museums in the US, but they were all still in the water. This is the first time I see a submarine museum that is not submerged. Looks interesting and I wonder if it was painted silver in front originally?

Wow, it sounds like there’s so much to do in Visakhapatnam! I would definitely check out the museums (especially the submarine and coffee ones) and that waterfall is gorgeous!

Vizag looks like such a beautiful place. I especially love the wildlife sanctuary. Can’t wait to visit soon!

Oh wow..i would love to visit that sub..didn’t know such a thing existed!

Very well written blog, I never knew one can visit so many places in Vizag. I can see a kid will have loads of fun, visiting the submarine and aircraft museum. But the best part is Lambasingi, it looks too surreal and must-visit kinds. How much a 3 day trip will cost, with a decent staying option?

I have many friends in vizag but never got a chance to visit. Now you have given me a plenty of reasons to see the city. Museums look interesting especially the aircraft and coffee museum.

It has been decades I have visited Visakhapatnam, after reading your post I am sure what interests my family and choose accordingly.

Lol I have to admit, I was not expecting this to include a submarine! What a fun and unique museum!

I am so impressed with the variety of things to see in Visakhapatnam. The wildlife and nature is where I would want to spend most of my time, but those beaches and caves look fantastic too.

What an interesting place! I really like the submarine, and I think I would really enjoy visiting the Tribal Museum and learning about the cultures of the local tribes.

Went to Visakhapatnam from Hyderabad a couple of years back on my India visit. Loved Araku valley and the plantations. The submarine museum was unique. First time I ever entered into a submarine.

I love caves, waterfalls and wildlife, so would want to spend my time exploring that. My boys would love the aircraft and submarine museums. It sounds like we should visit the culture center if we come to the area as well to learn about the native people.

Your photo of Rushikonda Beach is amazing! I never thought of India as a beach destination, for me it’s more about the culture, the food and the temples… But to know that this is one of the cleanest beaches in India is very enticing!

Thanks for all your recommendations, this is a great resource!

Visakhapatnam certainly seems to have everything. I love beautiful beaches, but am more interested in the museums (especially the coffee museum!) and the caves. I would really like to visit this area. It looks beautiful but with so many interesting places to check out, it seems ideal for family visit.

We were sorry we did not get to visit the great beach areas in India when we visited. We certainly would head to Rushikonda Beach. As an ex-Navy guy, hubby would not miss the Naval Submarine or Aircraft Museums. I would bargain for a day trip to Katiki Falls or the Borra Caves in exchange for those museum days!

The Bora caves are SO BEAUTIFUL they remind me of Ruby Falls in Tennessee. Lambasing is quite eerie in a hauntingly beautiful way. This sounds like a great place to visit.

Beaches, wildlife and waterfalls, this place ticks plenty of must haves on my list. I can’t wait to visit.

Unlike other beaches of Vizag, this one is comparatively calmer and peaceful.

And that won’t happen in one day. Also, one day of Vizag tour will definitely leave you yearning for more amazing locales and vistas, and these places are here to quench your wanderlust.

Simhachalam Temple, Visakhapatnam

Simhachalam Temple | #8 of 20 Best Places to visit in Vizag.

An 11 th -century Hindu temple, it is dedicated to the Varaha and Narasimha avatars of Lord Vishnu, and Goddess Lakshmi. The architecture of the temple is majorly Dravidian with several influences of the Kalinga style. From the carvings on the inner wall to the shrines of Lord Vishnu, everything at the shrine catches one’s fancy. As is the tradition in South India, you will find that the shrine is always covered in sandal paste. You must spend some time exploring the temple and try reading the inscriptions dating back to AD 1087 (if you can).

9. Borra Caves

Borra Caves, Visakhapatnam

Borra Caves | #9 of 20 Best Places to visit in Visakhapatnam.

Just 90 km from the city, these natural caves are 705 metres above sea level. Once inside the caves, you can hear your voice echo. Moreover, right in the middle of the caves lie a small shivling. Climb on a steep stair and you will find the shrine in the centre. Many devotees come to Borra Caves just to get a glimpse of the shivling. Once you have paid your respects to Lord Shiva, come out of the caves and soak in the stunning rock formation and waterfalls here. Plus, there are lots of natural formations here that are a result of constant erosion and the rocks being carved and shaped by the river. The multi-coloured lights installed here recently make these even better and intriguing to look at.

10. Katiki Falls

Katiki Falls, Visakhapatnam

Katiki Waterfalls is another natural marvel near Visakhapatnam that deserves at least one visit. The main source of water to this fall is the Gosthani River. The sight of the water falling from an almost-vertical cliff surrounded by nothing but immense greenery and serenity is something you will never forget. Perched at an elevation of 50 feet, the cascading waters from the falls make for an excellent spot to click some amazing shots. If the lush greenery is not enough for you, trek to the falls to soak in the beauty of this place to the fullest.

11. Araku Valley

Araku Valley, Visakhapatnam

Araku Valley | #11 of 20 Best Places to visit in Vizag.

Its beauty is often compared to that of Ooty and the reasons are justified. Starting from the lush greenery that covers every inch of the valley to the coffee plantations, viewpoints and tribal culture, everything here will enchant you to the core. Believe us!

If all this stirs up the wanderlust in you, we suggest you spend at least a couple of days in the valley itself. Soak in the view of the green patches of grasslands, and you will know what we are talking about. You can stop at places that give you the best view because when it comes to exploring Araku Valley, the journey is more important than the destination.

Take everything at a slow pace and immerse yourself in the beauty of this place because the smell of freshly roasted coffee and the voice of the gurgling streams will linger long after you have left. Having been there myself, I still yearn to return to this magical hill station tucked away from mainstream tourists. Maybe that is where the beauty of Araku Valley lies…in it being hidden and untouched.

Embarking on the Vizag City Sightseeing Tour by Bus is akin to diving deep into a treasure trove of cultural wonders, scenic marvels, and historical gems. As the bus winds through the city streets, passengers are greeted with a mosaic of attractions, each telling its unique tale.

1. Kailasagiri

Kailasagiri is a landscaped park with abundant flora, nestled amidst tropical trees and located at a height of 360 feet. The must-visit attraction in Vizag is the 40-foot-tall white statue of Shiva and Parvathi. Visit the Shanti Ashram Art Gallery or walk on the jungle trail.

2. Simhachalam Temple

Perched at an elevation of 300 m, Simhachalam Temple is an ornate Hindu shrine. Originally referred to as the Varaha Lakshmi Temple, it displays a blend of Odisha and Dravidian architecture. Its elaborate stone carvings are praiseworthy. You should visit it to seek blessings from the presiding deity, Lord Narasimha, an avatar of Lord Vishnu. It is the only temple where Lord Vishnu’s 3rd and 4th incarnations, Shri Varaha Lakshmi and Narasimha Swami, appear. Its detailed prayer routines remain undisturbed throughout the year. Must See / Must Do activity: Attend the annual Chandanotsavam, Akshaya Tritiya, and Narasimha Jayanti festivals.

3. Submarine Museum

After serving in the Indian army for 31 years, INS Kurusura was decommissioned and turned into a museum in 2001. The Russia-built submarine was Kalveri-class and diesel-electric. It was India’s 4th submarine. It is the first submarine-turned-museum in Asia and the second in the world.

You will come across photographs, artifacts, weapons, and written scripts highlighting the milestones of the evolution of the submarine. Visiting it allows you to comprehend life inside a submarine and imagine the hardships that submariners face. There are six guides to help you with exploration of the museum. It is the one attraction that you should not miss on your Vizag city tour by bus. Must See / Must Do activity: Feel the surge of patriotism as you observe the various parts of a submarine, like the sonar room, control room, and radar room.

4. Visakha Museum

Located on the RK Beach, Visakha Museum preserves the rich history of Vizag. You can learn about the region’s maritime history at the museum set up in the ruins of a Dutch bungalow. Look at the portraits of the royal family of Vizianagaram and Bobbili, armor suits, spears, muzzle-loading guns, handguns, revolvers, daggers, swords, and steel bows. Witness many models of warships, planes, and submarines.

An important attraction is the shell of a 250-lb unexploded bomb dropped by the Japanese during World War II. Crockery, Greek/Roman and Viking helmets, stuffed animals, coins, manuscripts, diaries, scrapbooks, maps, and silk costumes are displayed. A one-day Visakhapatnam bus trip isn’t complete without a stop here! Must See / Must Do activity: Watch the film on the history of Vizag and its rulers, which is played twice a day.

5. R. K. Beach

The Ramakrishna Beach, also known as R. K. Beach, is a popular tourist place to elevate your day’s bus adventure – this place is unskippable!. Visit it for mesmerizing sunrises and sunsets, sunbathing, and playing beach ball. Enjoy the cool breeze as you stroll on the beach.

Deep sea angling is carried on traditional fishing boats. Indulge in activities like water surfing and boating from the fishing harbor. However, since the shore is rough and rocky, you should avoid swimming. Click pictures with your loved ones against the splendid natural backdrop. You should visit it during the tortoise breeding season and Visakha Utsav. 

Must See / Must Do activity: Try local street food such as Murukulu and Mirapakaya Bhajji from nearby stalls while enjoying a scenic view of the beach.
