2 Days in Visakhapatnam for Solo Trip
Visakhapatnam, or Vizag as locals call it, is the perfect blend of beaches, hills, and city life. As someone who’s wandered its streets and shores, I can tell you it’s ideal for solo travelers looking for a mix of relaxation and exploration. The city has a laid-back vibe, friendly locals, and some of the best coastal views in India.

Kick off your Visakhapatnam trip with its most iconic sights, from serene beaches to historic landmarks, and savor the city's coastal flavors.
Activities
Sunrise at Rama Krishna Beach
Start your day with the calming waves of RK Beach, one of Vizag's most famous stretches of sand. Walk along the shoreline, watch local fishermen bring in their catch, and visit the iconic Submarine Museum nearby—a real decommissioned submarine turned museum.
- Carry a light jacket—mornings can be breezy.
- The submarine museum opens at 2 PM, so plan a return visit if interested.
Explore the Simhachalam Temple
Head to this 11th-century hilltop temple dedicated to Lord Narasimha. The intricate architecture and spiritual vibe make it a must-visit. The climb offers panoramic views of the city, and the temple's prasadam (laddus) are famous.
- Dress modestly—shoulders and knees covered.
- Hire an auto-rickshaw for the hill climb if you don’t want to walk.
Lunch at Sea Inn
A no-frills local favorite for authentic Andhra seafood. Try their spicy prawn curry or fish fry with steaming rice. The portions are generous, and the flavors are bold—perfect for a post-temple meal.
- Arrive early—it gets crowded during lunch.
