Visakhapatnam, known locally as Vizag, is a laid-back port city on Andhra Pradesh's coast where the Eastern Ghats meet the Bay of Bengal, giving it a striking setting of hills, beaches and a busy natural harbour. Its long beach road, Kailasagiri hilltop park accessed by cable car, and a preserved World War II submarine museum make it an easy-going coastal stop, while the cooler Araku Valley sits just a scenic train ride into the hills.

The submarine museum was a fun, unexpected stop, and Rushikonda Beach was much quieter than the main city beach.
