Visakhapatnam is a port city and industrial center in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, on the Bay of Bengal. It’s known for its many beaches, including Ramakrishna Beach, home to a preserved submarine at the Kursura Submarine Museum. Nearby are the elaborate Kali Temple and the Visakha Museum, an old Dutch bungalow housing local maritime and historical exhibits.
Palm-lined Yarada Beach lies to the south, while sandy Rushikonda Beach is to the north. Connected to the seafront by a cable car, Kailasagiri Hill offers panoramic views of the city and the Dolphin’s Nose headland, plus rides on a mini train encircling the summit. The peak is topped by a giant Shiva Parvati statue. Outside the city center are the Simhachalam Temple, a 11th-century Hindu shrine, plus the Kambalakonda Wildlife Sanctuary. Near the quiet beach of Bheemunipatnam are a ruined Dutch fort and cemetery. Farther northwest are the Borra Caves, a limestone labyrinth in the Eastern Ghats mountains, and the Katika Waterfalls.
When to visit : Visakhapatnam has a tropical climate with hot weather year-round. Jun–Oct is the monsoon season, with heavy downpours and a chance of cyclones. Dec–May, the dry season, is a popular time to visit. At this time of year beaches are a major draw. Key events include Chandan Yatra (Mar/Apr, dates vary), a religious festival at Simhachalam Temple. Diwali (Oct/Nov, dates vary) is the Hindu festival of lights. The Visakha Utsav tourism festival (Dec/Jan, dates vary) showcases the art, textiles, cuisine and music of the region.
