Useful tips:

Visakhapatnam has a lot more to offer than we could contain in this 6-day itinerary. If you have more time, you can visit the VUDA Park and enjoy a boat ride, visit the Victory at Sea War Memorial, take a tour of Araku Valley, or visit the Kailasagiri Hill Park. Feel free to shorten the itinerary if you have less time in the city. Don't forget your sunscreen, a hat and comfortable shoes.
