Visakhapatnam
Take the ropeway to the top of Kailasagiri Hill overlooking Visakhapatnam city and its twin bays, where a massive Shiva-Parvati statue presides over manicured gardens, toy train rides, and spectacular 360-degree views. The evening light on the harbour below is particularly beautiful.
Avoid weekends when local families crowd the cable car — a weekday evening visit is far more peaceful.
