|  Visakhapatnam,
city of cultural & religious diversity was named after the God of
valour, Visakha. Once a small fishing village, it transformed into a port
town under the British. Now a bustling industrial and commercial city,
it is the site of the country's largest shipbuilding yard. The most famous
landmark at Visakhapatnam is the Dolphin's Nose, a rocky promontory in
the port, 358 m high. Visakhapatnam, or Vizag as it was often called,
is the true spot where one can find the beauty of Andhra. From Lakes to
cool Beaches, from beautiful Hill Ranges to Caves and Valleys enclosures,
Vizag has them all. Located on the shores of the Bay of Bengal, Visakhapatnam
has a typical coastal climate. Best time to visit is October to February.
