Vibrant Vizag - Places to visit in Vizag

The course travels through 4 states and distinctly diverse cultures and languages.  Vizag , a port city, is the only natural harbour on the East coast with the oldest shipyard. Its history dates back to the 6th century BCE Kalinga empire.  MUSEUMS IN VIZAG The  INS Kursura Submarine  in the  RK beach  of Vizag is one of the iconic  places in the city.
