History 

Visakhapatnam is often just called "Vizag." Its name comes from the Hindu god of bravery, Visakha. The city looks out over the Bay of Bengal and is set in a beautiful valley in the Eastern Ghats. Based on archaeological evidence, Visakhapatnam was built by the Kulothunga Chola between the years 11th and 12th AD. 

Kailasagiri, Rama Krishna Beach, and Rishikonda Beach are some of the places that you should visit during the Vizag tour packages.
