Next drive up to Simhachalam hill. At the top of the hill stands a Hindu temple dedicated to God Vishnu. Vishnu is worshipped in his incarnation of Varaha Narasimha here - with a boar’s head, a human torso and a lion’s tail. Unlike most temples that face the East, this temple faces the West, signifying victory. After the visit to the temple drive to the most popular beach of Vizag, R.K. Beach. It is a spectacular long beach on the Bay of Bengal. Spend some time walking on the beach before you take lunch (own expense) at a nearby restaurant.
After lunch drive to Kailasagiri, a public park situated on the top of a hill that overlooks the city of Visakhapatnam. Giant statues of the Hindu God Shiva and his consort Parvati are present in the park. Drive down Beach road. With a length of 25 miles, it is the longest road on the shores of the Bay of Bengal.
