Introducing Visakhapatnam
Visakhapatnam – also called Vizag (vie-zag) – is Andhra Pradesh’s second-largest city, though it feels more like an ageing beach-resort town. It’s famous for shipbuilding and steel manufacturing, and now it’s also an up-and-comer in the call-centre, software and film industries. But we love it for its kitschy coasts. The run-down boardwalk along Ramakrishna Beach has lots of spunk, and the beach at nearby Rushikonda is one of Andhra’s best. Vizag is also a base for visits to the Araku Valley.
