Day 1 - Magic and splendor commences

Welcome to the heart of South India! Start your day early, but not too early, with a visit to the divine Sri Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Temple. Immerse yourself in the tranquil atmosphere here before we move on to the bustling Kurupam Tomb - a place that beautifully encapsulates the city's antiquity. After this, why not treat your taste buds? Find a street-vendor selling hot, crispy dosas and tangy Sambar. Now that you're powered up, it's time to visit the Visakha Museum! It's a feast for history buffs, filled with maritime and military exhibits. Finally, we will head to the iconic Rishikonda Beach to unwind as the cool breeze refreshes your senses. There's no better way to end the day than watching the sun sink beneath the waves.

Day 2 - Adventure Beckons

Buckle up for a day of adventure and excitement! Kick off with a sense of tranquillity in the serene environment of the Indira Gandhi Zoological Park. Then, prepare to experience the thrill of exploring the unique Borra Caves. Can you believe these stalactite and stalagmite formations are a staggering million years old? Recharge with some energizing local lunch and then make your way to the picturesque Araku Valley. Isn't it amazing how dense greenery fits so perfectly with the rustic tribal villages? The beauty of sunset here is unmatched! Think you've had enough? Not so fast! We'll cap the day off with a visit to Yarada Beach. Doesn't stargazing on the sandy beach sound like just the perfect end to the day?

Day 3 - Exploring urban roots

Your final day we're going all urban! This city isn't just about its scenic beauty, it's a thriving metro-city too. We'll start with the Dolphin’s nose, a natural rock formation that literally looks like a dolphin's nose! You'll see why the British used this landmark as a lighthouse. For a peek into the area's maritime traditions, let's visit the Naval Museum. It's inspiring how the city harmonizes its bustling city life with the oceanic tranquility, don't you think?Next, we dive into shopping at Jagadamba Centre, the commercial hub of the city offering an array of shops and eateries. Grab a few souvenirs to remember this trip by. Lastly, a trip to Vishākhapatnam isn't complete without witnessing the majesty of the INS Kursura Submarine Museum. It's a bit surreal to be in a submarine on land, don't you agree? It's the perfect conclusion to our 3-day whirlwind journey.
