Start early from Meerut by private car or train to reach Delhi's IGI Airport for a morning flight; gives buffer for check-in and security. Plan 2–3 hours for road/train transfer depending on traffic.
Morning flight (1.5–2 hours) to Vizag gets you into the city by early afternoon; book a direct flight for time savings and to avoid overnight travel on day 1.
Check in and rest a bit after arrival. Lunch at the hotel restaurant (reliable, good hygiene and female-friendly environment) to recharge before sightseeing. Hotel restaurants usually open 12:30pm onwards.
A relaxed stroll along the popular RK Beach promenade — good for acclimating to the city and a safe, well-lit spot in evenings; ideal for photos and light snacks. Open all day.
Small but unique naval museum on RK Beach where you can tour a real submarine; interesting for history and photo ops. Typical hours ~10:00am–5:00pm (confirm current timing) — if closed, swap with Kailasagiri first.
Take the ropeway (if operating) or drive up to Kailasagiri for panoramic coastal views and the sunset — great orientation for your stay. Ropeway generally operates daytime to early evening; verify same-day timings.
For your first night choose the hotel restaurant or another well-reviewed beachfront hotel restaurant for safety and comfort. You’ll find both local cuisine and familiar options.
Leave early by private car or book a reputable day-trip tour; road travel is 3.5–5 hours each way depending on route — the drive is scenic through Eastern Ghats. A sunrise start gives more time at sites and reduces rushed travel.
Visit a coffee plantation (try local Araku coffee) and the Tribal Museum to learn about local tribal culture; relaxed walking and photo opportunities. Many estates allow short guided tours and tastings.
Eat at a clean, popular café near the plantation or a well-reviewed local restaurant — try the regional Andhra dishes and freshly brewed Araku coffee. Check hygiene reviews before choosing.
Begin the drive back to Vizag to arrive by evening; expect 4–5 hours depending on traffic and stops — plan rest breaks and a secure taxi for evening arrival.
After a long day, choose a safe, well-lit hotel restaurant or a busy seafood restaurant on Beach Road with good reviews; avoid isolated eateries late at night as a solo female traveler.
Visit the hilltop Simhachalam Temple (dedicated to Lord Narasimha); mornings are less crowded. Temple hours typically include an early morning slot and an afternoon/evening slot — confirm darshan timings.
Head to Rushikonda Beach for golden sand and popular water-sports (jet-ski, banana boat) operated from ~9:00am–5:00pm; ideal for a few active hours and scenic views.
Choose a reputable hotel restaurant or a busy beachfront spot for lunch to enjoy fresh seafood or local Andhra flavors; check online reviews for hygiene and safety.
Light afternoon hike at Kambalakonda for nature, birds, and a break from the city; trails are short and well-suited to quick visits (confirm entry hours before going).
Book a reputable boat operator for a short dolphin-spotting trip or sunset cruise; operators generally run in the late afternoon — confirm availability and safety measures.
Finish the day with a flavorful Andhra meal; choose a busy, recommended restaurant or hotel dining for safety. Ask your hotel to recommend and book a taxi for the return.
Have an early breakfast at the hotel and finish packing; check out timings and keep flight/train documents ready. Hotel breakfasts generally start by 7:00–7:30am.
Drive to the quieter Yarada Beach for a peaceful morning and stop at Dolphin’s Nose viewpoint for sweeping coastal views; morning hours are pleasant and less crowded. Road access is open during the day.
Allow at least 2 hours before domestic flight departure for security/check-in. Book an early-to-mid afternoon flight to Delhi for a comfortable return to Meerut same evening (or next morning depending on flight times).
On arrival at IGI Delhi, take a pre-booked taxi or train back to Meerut. Avoid late-night unbooked travel; use verified transport and share your ETA with a trusted contact.
You should be back in Meerut by the evening; review your photos and rest after a well-paced trip. Keep travel receipts and any items you bought for easy unpacking.
