About Vizag
A Picturesque small fisherman’s village called Vizagapatnam has existed fort
more than 13 centuries in east coat of India. Vizag remembers ancient
civilizations and great people that wrote its magnificent history.
Situated in a
"Picturesque Amphitheater of Hills", The city stands
itself on a space backed by the blue sea on the one hand
and the vast swamp on the other. Beyond this swamp, we
find the Simhachalam Hill range jutting almost into the
sea at Kailasagiri ("Thomas' Folly") and Rushikonda
("the Sugar loaf Hill") in the North East and the
Dolphin's Nose hill range projecting as bold headland
into the Bay on the South and pyramid-like hills on the
fringe of tidal swamp on the West.
It is said that the
Rushikonda and the Dolphin's Nose hill protect the city
from the ravages of the roaring sea, however, these
constitute some of the outstanding topographical
features of Vizag. Another outstanding feature of the
city is its rocky and sandy hills inside. They are the
Ross Hill, Darga hill, Venkateswara Hill in the South
, the sandy
hill range from King George Hospital to Utagedda in the
North and the twin hills between which passes the
Waltair Road.
