"A gem of South India"

Visakhapatnam tourism.

Visakhapatnam, also commonly known as Vizag, is one of the oldest port cities in the country. Situated in the heart of Andhra Pradesh, Vizag was announced as the state capital of Andhra Pradesh on January 31, 2023. The city is known for its picturesque beaches and serene landscape, as well as a rich cultural past. The port of Visakhapatnam is renowned for being home to the oldest shipyard in all of India.

Located a short distance away from Visakhapatnam is Araku Valley, one of the prime attractions of Vizag. Situated at a lofty 910 metres above sea level, Araku Valley is a hill station replete with gushing waterfalls, crystal clear streams, lush green gardens and some challenging trekking trails. Vizag is dotted with many beaches along its coastline, with the most famous one being the Yarada Beach. One of the most stunning places to see in all of Visakhapatnam, Yarada beach is surrounded by majestic hills on three sides, and by the Bay of Bengal on the other side. One of the best things about Vizag’s beaches is that they are a lot cleaner and a lot less crowded than other famous beaches along the Indian coastline, and Yarada beach is no exception. It is the perfect place to sit back on the golden sands and witness a marvellous sunrise or sunset. If you’re a history lover, the Borra Caves are one of the best tourist attractions that Vizag has to offer for you. Nestled amidst the Ananthagiri Hills in Araku Valley, the Borra Caves are over thousands of years old and are the biggest among all the caves found in India. Made entirely of natural karstic limestone, the caves are kaleidoscopic in nature, and the light falling on the rocks coupled with the waterfalls creates an extremely colourful effect, lending an aura of magic and mysticism to the entire ambience. The Katiki Waterfalls, situated a short distance away from the Borra Caves, is a gushing waterfall that measures around 50 feet in height and is completely surrounded by the lush greenery of the valley. The crystal-clear water cascading down the rocks, bordered by the gleaming green foliage is a sight for sore eyes. Being a coastal area, the primary cuisine of Visakhapatnam includes seafood, as well as traditional Andhra South Indian cuisine. While Visakhapatnam is not exactly renowned for being a shopping destination, you will still find a lot of things that you can take back home. You can purchase a wide variety of stuff starting from handicrafts to Kalamkari paintings to wooden toys to even gorgeous Pochampalli and Ikat sarees.

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.

8. Simhachalam Temple

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 | #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.

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.

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

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.

Vizag or Visakhapatnam is called the “Jewel of the East Coast”. Apart from being the largest city in Andhra Pradesh and a prominent industrial hub, it is also a popular tourist destination in India. There are many tourist places around Vizag to see and spend a memorable family trip in this smart city .

I fell in love with Visakhapatnam right when I approached the city after flying over the Bay of Bengal for an hour. A long shoreline interrupted by Eastern Ghat Hills with many boats and ships anchored to the port looks mesmerizing from the sky. The spectacular Shiv-Parvati statue could be seen from our flight, standing tall at the top of Kailasgiri Hill like an iconic structure of Vizag city.

About Vizag / Visakhapatnam

Visakhapatnam is a bustling city overlooking the Bay of Bengal. Vizag is the short form of Vizagapatnam as pronounced by the British due to their inability to say Visakhapatnam correctly.

There are quite a few theories on how the city was named Visakhapatnam.

According to one school of thought, Visakhapatnam came from the God of Valor Vaisakha, who was worshipped in a shore temple nearby, which is presently believed to be submerged under the sea.

Another school of thought says that it was named after the Buddhist princess Visakha (5th to 6th Century BC). The nearby areas of Vizag were an essential centre for learning Buddhism. The remains of Thotlakonda, Bavikonda and Bojjanakonda carrying evidence of that.

The Chinese traveller, Hiuen Tsang , visited Andhra during 639-40 AD. In his travelogue, he mentioned the name of ‘Visakha kingdom’, where Hinayana Buddhism was prevalent.

Visakhapatnam witnessed the reigns of many dynasties – Kalinga Kingdom, followed by Pallavas, Gangas, Cholas, and Mughals in the 16th century. It became a Dutch Colony, followed by a French Colony till the control passed to British Raj in 1804, who ruled Vizag until Independence.

Vizag is also the home of the oldest shipyard in the country and the only natural harbour on India’s east coast. The city is also the headquarter of the eastern command of the Indian Navy.

Vizag is a prominent tourist spot in India. It has beautiful beaches, hills, wildlife sanctuaries, caves, old temples, ruins of ancient Buddhist settlements, unique museums and a large fishing harbour.

List of Tourist Places to see in Vizag

There are many places in and around Vizag that you can see on your trip to this port city. It is not feasible to cover them all in just two days. I have made a list of tourist places in Visakhapatnam that you should not miss on your first visit. You can make a tour of these places in 2 days if you follow the itinerary I made below.

Bheemilipatnam Beach
Thotlakonda Ruins

Rushikonda Beach

Indira gandhi zoological park, kailasgiri hill park, ramakrishna beach, matsya darshini aquarium, simhachalam temple, aircraft museum, submarine museum, dolphin’s nose lighthouse, yarada beach.

Day-wise Itinerary of Places to see in Vizag

Bheemilipatnam beach – Thotlakonda ruins – Rushikonda beach – Indira Gandhi Zoological park – Kailasgiri Hill – Ramakrishna beach – Matsya Darshini Aquarium

You can visit Mangamaripeta beach on your way to Bhemili beach. Also, you can add VUDA Park and/or Visakha museum while visiting RK beach. But in that case, you must drop one or two places from the above itinerary.

Simhachalam Temple – Aircraft museum – Submarine museum – Dolphin Nose Lighthouse – Yarada beach

If time permits, you can add Fishing harbour and Gangavaram beach to your Day-2 itinerary.

A trip to Araku Valley from Vizag needs a full day, so I have kept it out of my two days itinerary.

Transport Options for Vizag City Tour

The easiest way to make your Vizag sightseeing tour is to hire a cab from one of the car rental services for both days. You can also take Uber rentals as per your need or book Uber cabs to move from one place to another.

Autorickshaws are also available everywhere in the city, and you can ride one to move around. If you want to book an autorickshaw for a specified time, clearly communicate with the driver beforehand. Tell him about the tourist spots you will visit and how much time you will take. Always bargain on the price they demand.

An image taken from inside of an auto-rickshaw in Vizag town. You can easily get an auto-rickshaw anywhere in Vizag city and move between all tourist places you want to see in Vizag.

If you are a budget traveller, you can also take city buses run by APSRTC. The city bus network connects all the tourist places. However, buses to Bheemili or Yarada are fewer in number. So it will be better to take note of the bus timings and bus intervals before going to these places.

APTDC conducted Vizag city tour

Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (APTDC) conducts full-day Vizag city tour in AC and non-AC buses. You can also book this tour from their website .

Details about the places you must visit in your two days Vizag tour

Bheemilipatnam beach.

Bheemilipatnam is 30 km away from Vizag town. It has a beautiful beach near the confluence of the Gosthani river. Bheemili, as said by locals, was a prominent Dutch and British colony in the past. A lighthouse built by the British and a Christian cemetery built during Dutch settlement are proof of its rich history when Bheemili was used as a port town.

Historical evidence of the ancient Buddhist Culture have been noticed at Bheemunipatnam, dating back to the 3rd century BCE on a nearby hillock called Pavurallakonda. Also, a Hindu temple is dedicated to Lord Narasimha on the eastern side of Pavurallakonda, facing the sea. As per historical evidence, the temple was constructed around the 14th century.

Thotlakonda ruins

Thotlakonda Buddhist Complex was first seen when the Indian Navy conducted an aerial survey to establish a Vizag base. After that, a major excavation was done by Andhra Pradesh State Archeology Department, revealing a sizeable Buddhist Complex that flourished almost 2000 years ago.

Leads from the complex connected with the Satvahana Dynasty and Roman Empire. The remains of the monastery indicate that it was an advanced centre of learning Buddhism. The monastery’s strategic location on a hill and near the shoreline helped the centre flourish from the 3rd century BC to the 2nd century AD.

The Bavikonda Buddhist Complex ruins are also nearby. As the name suggests (Bavikonda means hill of wells in Telegu), it has a large tank built to collect rainwater. The discovery of an urn during the excavation, which held a piece of bone and ash inside, is believed to be the remains of Gautam Buddha which make Bavikonda one of the most sacred places in Asia for Buddhists.

The Gambheeram Gadda Reservoir is considered a source of tranquillity in Vizag. As a result, it has become a popular tourist attraction in Visakhapatnam. This reservoir is nestled deep into the woods, away from the city’s hustle and bustle. The Ganbheeram Gadda reservoir is a serenely beautiful place for people to visit. However, it is not easily accessible and has no facilities like boating.

The geographical attraction of the Gambheeram Gadda reservoir is its shape which looks similar to a kidney. There are multiple directions through which you can reach the reservoir. The amount of water exiting the reservoir is limited with the help of a check dam which looks like a mini-waterfall when at full flow.

You can rekindle nature when you visit this reservoir.
You can plan a picnic with your friends and family near the reservoir to have a pleasant and memorable time.
You can approach the reservoir from National Highway 16 near the Gambheera village or the Anandapuram-Anakapalle highway.
However, keep in mind that the roads might not be able to carry four-wheelers since they are narrow.

Precautions:

Here are some of the precautions you might want to take when you are planning to visit Vizag to have a memorable trip:
Visakhapatnam has a relatively low crime rate compared to other cities in India. You can roam the streets anytime. It is always best to reach your hotel before nine to have enough rest.
It is always best to check for any political rallies in the area while planning to visit Vizag to avoid any traffic inconveniences.
Pre-plan your journey to ensure you don’t miss out on any important locations in Vizag. For example, if you plan to visit Araku, you must start the day early in the morning. Therefore, plan your itinerary properly.
Bring appropriate clothing for visiting Vizag during the winter months with the kids.

These 15 places are the best to visit in New Jersey, according to Travel and Leisure

Four-minute read.

Ready to hang out in New Jersey?

This travel media brand says yes.

TravelandLeisure.com released report on 15 of the best places to visit in New Jersey with the help of local tourism experts: Jeffrey Vasser, executive director, New Jersey Division of Travel & Tourism and Diane Wieland, director at Cape May County Department of Tourism.

Between the 130 miles of Atlantic Ocean aligned with beautiful beaches and boardwalks with amusements to more than 50 wineries, these gems of the Garden State are worth a visit.

Jersey Shore Restaurant Week: It's back, with lunch and dinner deals at more than 60 spots

Here are the 15 best places to visit in New Jersey:

Ocean city boardwalk.

Known for amusement rides and arcade games that accommodate all ages, Ocean City boardwalk is a fun-filled destination for the the whole family. “The Ocean City Boardwalk is a famous promenade that’s been a source of entertainment for more than 100 years," Wieland said.

This charming Jersey Shore town set on peninsula is a year-round destination with family-friendly and various oceanside dining.

Morey's Piers & Beachfront Water Parks

“Families can spend the entire day on more than 100 rides, splashing around the two water parks right on the beach, and lounging in private cabanas,” Vasser said.

Wildwoods Boardwalk

Composed of more than 70,000 wooden planks, the 38-block oceanfront stretch draws crowds with everything from amusement rides, games, water parks and more.

Wildwood’s Doo Wop Motel District

The largest concentration of mid-century motels in the country has over 50 vintage motels still stand today within this unique district. “It’s really neat to see all the neon signs and retro details. Walking around Wildwood’s Doo Wop Motel District is like being transported to the 1950s,” said Vasser.

American Dream

American Dream is the second-largest shopping mall in the United States, and includes restaurants and themed parks that provide endless fun for the whole family. “American Dream is, quite literally, an indoor vacation one-stop shop that’s open year-round,” said Vasser.

Lambertville

Full of rich history, Lambertville has well-preserved federal townhouses, Victorian homes and antique shops that brings history to life. “The charming town also supplies family-owned wineries and photogenic vantage points such as Goat Hill Overlook,” added Vasser.

What's the best? Central Jersey town named best place to live in NJ and one of the best nationally

Beneduce Vineyards

This 77-acre farm with 25 acres of vines are hand pruned, hand harvested and dry farmed in the rolling hills of Hunterdon County. “One of my favorites, Beneduce Vineyards, has great wine and fun year-round events such as live music and food trucks on Saturdays,” said Vasser.

Grounds for Sculpture

Grounds for Sculpture is a 42-acre landscaped park with 300 contemporary sculptures, an arboretum, and a museum with an indoor exhibitions that features six galleries.

Atlantic City

Known as the East Coast's version of Las Vegas offers travelers casinos, live entertainment, big-name restaurants with more fun attractions at the Steel Pier and the only helicopter ride at the Jersey Shore.

Frenchtown is a vibrant community full of Victorian architecture, art, and culture nestled along the banks of the Delaware River. Vasser recommends visiting during Frenchtown Riverfest. “There are all kinds of street fair activities along the river,” he said.

Cape May County Park & Zoo

The Cape May County Park & Zoo houses over 500 different animals that includes African lions, American black bears, snow leopards and ring-tailed lemurs. The zoo features playgrounds for kids of all ages and both places are free to the public. "It's truly one of the best-kept secrets in the area," said Wieland.

Asbury Park

Asbury Park has become a creative hub and music mecca within the last decade with iconic landmarks like The Stone Pony, Asbury Lanes and Silverball Retro Arcade. Asbury Park combines gaming, bowling, dining, live entertainment and of course swimming and surfing on the shore.

Adventure Aquarium

Adventure Aquarium features the largest collection of sharks on the East Coast and protects over 8,000 aquatic species, including penguins and stingrays. Visitors can interact with hundreds of sea creatures at the touch tanks. “It’s a favorite for kids of all ages, especially if you’re looking for an indoor activity,” said Wieland.

Long Beach Island

The shores of Long Beach Island are particularly lovely. Besides its scenic Atlantic Ocean coastline, vacationers go for the water sports, charming towns like Barnegat Light, and the laid-back lifestyle.

These Stunning Caribbean Caves Were Just Named One of the World’s Top Attractions by Tripadvisor

The Cayman Crystal Caves formed millions of years ago.

Marc Guitard/Getty Images

The Cayman Islands have long lured visitors to its luxurious beaches and tropical forests. But in recent years, travelers have started going underground — literally — to the Cayman Crystal Caves , which was just named one of the top attractions in the world in Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards , announced this week.

Located on the Grand Cayman Island’s Northside, the attraction opened in 2016, with 1.5-hour guided tours leading visitors through a tropical forest and three caves. Formed millions of years ago, the caves were once underwater, as proven by fossilized shells and other signs of sea life. The slow work of Mother Nature, carving out the caves drip-by-drip with rainwater on the limestone has created stunning crystal-like stalagmites and stalagtites, giving the caverns an otherworldly feel.

The tour goes through an open-ceiling cave, a root one, and perhaps the most stunning, a lake cave, illuminated with lights . There’s also a chance to spot balsam trees, air plants, and even parrots and bats in the surrounding forests. For an even more unique adventure, there's also the Dusk to Dark Evening Bat Tour , where bats fly directly over your head and away into the sunset.

While the caves had long been there, it wasn’t until the late businessman Christian Sorensen came to the area in the 1990s to survey the caves that the idea of opening them up to the public began. After all, his father Ole Sorensen had developed Barbados’ Harrison’s Cave, and the younger Sorensen thought he might be able to recreate its success in the Cayman Islands.

According to local reports, he spent 1997 to 2011 buying land and building infrastructure for the Cayman Crystal Caves. He finally began work on the exhibit in 2012 and opened it to the public in March 2016.

Now amassing more than 2,700 five-star reviews on Tripadvisor, the Cayman Crystal Caves are the only Caribbean site to make the top 25 list, earning the No. 5 spot, after far more well-known attractions: New York City's Empire State Building in first , Paris' Eiffel Tower in second, Amsterdam's Anne Frank House in third, and Barcelona's Basilica de la Sagrada Familia in fourth.

“This attraction was the highlight of our vacation,” one recent visitor wrote on Tripadvisor, also commenting on the tour guide’s knowledge mixed with a sense of humor. “The three caves were breathtaking and I would highly recommend this attraction if you're spending time on the island!”
