Last week i had my chance to visit vizag,which was the largest district in india before independence. What took me ther? A couple of projects on the top of the hill in rushikonda.
I must admit that I wasnt aware what was in store for me. Vizag in short is in my opinion one of the most unsung tourist spots in the country. The beautiful city which runs along the bay of bengal coast boasts of an enchanting topography wher the lush green cliffs have a permanent date with the beautiful beaches. Its more in line with Varkala, a small town in kerala frequented by foreign tourists. Right from the moment i stepped out of the airport the people seemed to be very amiable and the city felt very safe indeed. RK beach which lies at the epicentre of the city has been developed on the lines of Hussain Sagar in hyderabad, although its a lot more clean and articulated.
One of the most astounding features of this strech is the display of the remains of the submarine that was bombeb by pakistan durimg the 1974 war. Currently its been housed as a museum.
I was very lucky to find lodging right in front of the beach, breathtaking seaview. Its saad that civilians arent allowed to visit the naval base here, which is the headquarters for the eastern naval coast. I just cant wait to go back to this beautiful city.
