Vizag - A must visit place

After postponing it for more than 2 years, it finally happened during my last vacation in july. Everytime I went on vacation I had this plan in mind that, (did someone say marriage!? - oh, no!) I will visit Vizag. But that never really happend untill that very special date 07/07/07 when we(two friends, azeem and liaquath and myself) reached Vizag in the morning at around 11 by bus.

After getting fresh and having biryani at the lodge(Shymala paradise) we headed towards the first location in Vizag, Kailashgiri Hills. I could not believe myself when i saw that one of my dream is soon gng to be a reality - having a cabin rope ride. Well, lil i knew that it was just the begining...Now, let the pictures do the talking!

Good restaurant to have a veg thali. Try to be a lil early for lunch or else you might have to wait outside for a table.



What shall we order? (veg thali :) )

Be careful!



Warning: Do not try this yourself. Kids shown in the picture are highly professional.
