Kailasagiri,
the charming hillock on the seafront , is located at an altitude of 130
mts. above sea level. Sprawled over an area of 350 acres, it is one of
the most attractive tourist spot with an enchanting view of the sea, beaches,
lush green forests and the bustling city. The 40 feet tall magnificent
Shiva-Parvathi idol atop the Kailasagiri hill, with lighted mountains
in front are worth seeing. The major attractions here are the Shanku Chakra
Naama which symbolizes the image of Lord Vishnu in its pristine form,
floral clock, titanic view point, jungle trails, manicured lawns and flower
beds, art gallery, children play park etc. The entire area is illuminated
and presents a fantastic sight when viewed in the night from any part of the city. The
ropeway that starts from the foot hill (Appughar) to the picturesque Kailasagiri
is an added attraction.
Kailasagiri is a gliders paradise with excellent gliding facilities and
the gliding point provides ample opportunities to test the gliding skills
of the gliders. |
