The first thing you should know is that Vizag is totally different from any Indian city you have been to. The city landscape offers exclusive features where serene mountains create a dramatic descent into the warm waters of the Bay of Bengal. If you are short on time, the best way to explore Vizag is on two-wheels. The charm about Vizag is that it is a well equipped port city with a naval base and welcoming, untouched coastlines filled with rich history, tribal culture, and a vibrant nightlife.
Explore the coastal city with ease using bike rentals in Vizag, perfect for riding through scenic roads and beachside routes.
The tranquil scenic drives, rich culture, and delicious, fresh, beach-side cuisine is what sets Vizag apart. The city makes for a perfect location for those who seek the thrill of paragliding and the same day, enjoy meditative calm at the beautiful ancient Buddhist site. Vizag's unique culture with all of its rich history, tribal regions, and lively nightlife makes it the perfect city to explore on a two-wheeler. You can always rent one out from ONN Bikes.
To experience the essence of Vizag, here is a dedicated bike itinerary for a day.
Morning: Head to RK Beach
It’s the best way to feel the pulse of the city- a sunrise at RK Beach. Vizag is along the sea, and at 5:30am, the promenade gets busy with people; older people can be seen doing yoga, there are runners, college kids with tea and even fishermen around. This is also the spot of the INS Kursura Submarine Museum. This is a real submarine that used to patrol the seas. If India’s naval history interests you, step inside. If not, the sea breeze and crashing waves will provide everything else for the day. Make sure to spend at least an hour. Walk on the sand and sun, and relish the views of the Bay of Bengal. Make sure to carry a cap or a shade as you may need them with the sun rising high.
Breakfast Stop: Venkatadri Vantillu
An hour after sunrise and the hunger is unmistakable. Venkatadri Vantillu located at Dwaraka Nagar is just 10 - 15 minutes from RK Beach and is an all time favorite with the locals. Here, the ghee karam dosas ‘that sizzle with ghee and flavor’, pesarattu ‘that wraps soft upma like a little cloud’, and ‘idlis as fluffy as the finest cotton that dissolve in chutney’ are a must try. Spend around 45 mins here and don’t hesitate to order a second round- You won’t regret it.
Mid-Morning Ride: Kailasagiri or Simhachalam Temple
From this point, you can select where you want to go.
Either one of these will give you a good hour of absorption before launching into your afternoon.
Lunch: Andhra Thali or Seafood Specials
By noon, your focus would shift to re-energising after an extensive ride. The perfect break for an authentic Andhra meal is at the Dharani Restaurant at the Daspalla Hotel. Their thali which includes pappu, rasam, curry, and the delicious sacrament known as the gongura pachadi makes a whole meal.
In case you like to focus more on seafood, Srikanya Comfort serves prawn curry and a fish dish known as Pulusu which comprises the unique coastal Andhra style.
Join whichever location you prefer but do not rush. Enjoy the meal.
Afternoon: Adventure at Rushikonda Beach
Post the meal, go for a coastal ride for 30 minutes to reach Rushikonda Beach. The soft sands and energetic surf provides a wonderful area for jet skiing and other water sports such as:
Alternatively, you could enjoy tender coconut water while relaxing and appreciating the beauty of the waves. This is a part of Vizag that is full of attractions and beauty.
Evening: Art, Culture & Street Vibes
As the day winds down after a tiring day, rejuvenate at the following locations:
Riding your bike with the intention of getting lost is sometimes the most efficient way to discover the magic that Vizag has to offer.
Dinner: A Coastal Feast
Visakhapatnam has quite the variety when it comes to evening meals.
Night Activities: Enjoy a Quiet Night, or Party By the Beach.
Experiencing night time in Visakhapatnam can be fun.
If the noise of the busy city is too much, I suggest you just go to RK Beach and enjoy the sight of the city lights while listening to soft waves crashing serenely onto the shore.
Final Thoughts
Spending a day in Visakhapatnam primarily on a bike has its own merits, such as cruising around with your points of interest. Nevertheless, it has much more to offer. From the beaches, riding adventures and the variety of food, the city has a charm that is indeed rare to find.
But the most efficient way to do it? Definitely on two wheels! Book a two-wheeler with ONN Bikes and enjoy a fun filled Vizag trip. You are free to ride and stop anywhere you wish.
Vizag is not to be discovered by schedules but by rides. So get busy, get out early, and let the city reveal itself to you in just one day.
