"Home to India's largest ship building yard, this thriving industrial city has come a long way since its days as a Dutch colonial settlement. Vishakhapatnam (Visakhapatnam) has also witnessed the rule of great kings like Ashoka and Krishnadeva Raya. This rich historic legacy is coupled with an abundant scenic beauty of hills, beaches and valleys."
Also known as Vizag, Vishakhapatnam (Visakhapatnam) is full of abundant tourist traps. The hill trinity of Dargah Konda, Sri Venkateswara Konda and Ross flanking Vizag are each steeped in the different religious legacies of Islam's Baba Ishaq Madina, Lord Shiva and Virgin Mary respectively. While natural and scenic spots such as Araku, Rushikonda Beach and Kailasagiri Hill Park are usually identified with Visakhapatnam, the destination also does not lack in terms of modern sophistication owing to its importance as an industrial city and the headquarters of the Eastern Naval Command.
