Visakhapatnam is one of the vital sea port cities of India and is known for its heavy iron-steel and ship building industries. Known as The Jewel of the East Coast because of its beaches, parks, cliffs, mountain ranges and limestone caves, the city of Vizag boasts of a beautiful landscape that never fails to mesmerize the travelers who come to the shores of this majestic city. 
 
With a history that dates back to medieval times, there are many ancient shrines and temples, which are known for their awe-inspiring architecture and thus add to the attractions the city has to offer. Even those who do not fancy tours to architectural delights feel elated and joyous at the sight of the hill shrine, Simhadri of Lord Narsimha, which is at a distance of only 16 kilometers from the city and is the second richest temple in India after the temple of Tirupati. With the main deity covered in a sandalwood paste, the darshan (the act of visiting the shrine for blessings) is described as Chandan Yatra. In addition to holy Hindu temples, there are many ancient Buddhist sites as well in Vizag such as Thotlakonda and Bojjannakonda, located at a distance of around fifty kilometers from Visakhapatnam. Bojjannakonda site dates back to the 4th to 9th century AD where a host of marvelous and captivating stupas and caves provide a treat to the eyes of tourists. 


Thotlakonda is another site worth mentioning where grand ruins of the stupas and houses of the monks provide a once in a lifetime experience to those who enjoy exploring ancient monuments. Kailasagiri, a scenic hill station which offers great views of the sea, is especially popular among the tourists and is a “must visit” for every tourist. The Kailasgiri passenger ropeway offers an enigmatic view of the entire city.
