However long the journey is, just the notion that Vizag is a mile, or a station, away rejuvenates us. It helps keep all the travel fatigue at bay. Be it early mornings, or late nights, the city is always bustling and brimming with energy and life. For the variety of reasons that one may visit Vizag, demarcated points and signboards keep us hitched to the windows while gliding into the city. Here are the 3 ways we know that we have arrived at the City of Destiny – Vizag.
#1 Visakhapatnam Railway Station Board
With the East Coast Railways (ECoR) connecting Vizag to several parts of the country, travelling to the city by train is one of the most preferred and economical modes of transport. The Visakhapatnam Junction is located about 12 kms away from the city centre and reveals the rural part of the district before entering the posh city centres. As every traveller looks for the station board plate to recognise the station, the Visakhapatnam Junction board in three languages is the first one to say ‘Hello’ to its visitors. It is also the easiest way to know when at Vizag. For Vizagites returning to their hometown, seeing this board is a high octane emotion.
#2 The Sea
Travelling over the seas and having an eagle’s eye view of the entire city running, is a unique experience that tells that we have arrived at Vizag. For the vastness that the sea offers, it is the perfect antidote to motion sickness and jet lag. A good start for your trip to the city, the flight hovering over the sea and making the u-turn before landing in Vizag, is mostly the first thing on a visitor’s social media post.
#3 Vuda Kailasagiri Carving – By Road
Reaching Vizag via road, the green cover of the city is the first thing that amazes a visitor. Through the green pastures on the Kailasagiri Hilltop is the carving ‘Vuda Kailasagiri’. With the carvings greeting you on reaching Vizag, it’s time for the itinerary of the trip to take over. The carvings oversee the entire city and with amazing things to do at the Kailasagiri hilltop, it is often on top of the itinerary list.
Happy travelling. Vizag welcomes you!
