Vizag is a lovely city and always has been my favourite, this was my third trip to vizag and i visited this offbeat beach away from the city, the beach is isolated and offers a great view of the dolphin nose. You might have to change 2 buses from the main bus stand to reach there

Surrounded by hills, situated closer to Kailasagiri, a small number of shops closeby, Rushikonda beach is an excellent tourist spot. This beach is a surprisingly cleaner and crowd free beach.

It was our first visit to this very popular and revered temple in the city of Vishakhpatnam and it was the worth the visit. It was great to see Ammavaru in her true magnificent self!! What was a bit disappointing was that they temple staff/volunteers would keep asking us to move swiftly even when there was not much of a crowd. We wanted to a get a good glimpse of the great Goddess but that was not to be :(. Not withstanding the pushy nature of the caretakers of the temple, we still enjoyed visiting this one of a kind Temple and we would like to come back again someday (preferably on a weekday) so that we could spend a little more time with our favourite Goddess!!
