Kailasagiri Hill Park

Kailasagiri Hill Park

Located atop a picturesque hill facing the Bay of Bengal is the sprawling Kailasagiri Park. At an altitude of 130 m, the Park gives you a panoramic view of the city and its beaches. The entire area is illuminated at night and looks fantastic when viewed from the city below. The hill park extends for about 350 acres and is covered by tropical trees. The park has several interesting attractions for its visitors. Titanic Point has a beautiful viewpoint shaped to look like the famous Titanic ship and faces the Bay of Bengal. This attraction is extremely popular with youngsters. The range is aptly named Kailasagiri after the magnificent statue of the celestial couple (Siva-Parvathi statue) that is a focal point of the Park. Shanku Chakra Naama is a popular landmark at the park, which soars up to 40 m high and can be seen clearly from any part of Vizag. It is a colossal image of Lord Vishnu in its complete form and looks spectacular at night. If you are looking for adventure, head for the Gliding Point. Situated at an altitude of 130 meters, it has good facilities for gliders. A great place to get started if you wish to learn the basics of gliding. Children will love to take a trip on the Toy Train. The train is fitted with transparent sides and roof and takes you on a circular tour of the garden at the hilltop. Watch the children enjoy themselves at the fun filled Children’s Park. Grab a bite to eat at the yummy stalls of the Food court. Buy gifts and souvenirs to take back home at the Souvenir Shop. The floral clock at the park is a regular crowd puller. Set against a background of lush green patches and the imposing Shiva Parvathi statue, the 10 ft. diameter floral clock has been very creatively designed and is well worth a visit. The park has other such interesting features as the Seven Wonders of Vizag, Jungle trail, a Ropeway from Appughar to Kailasagiri hill, an art gallery and a Capsule Lift to the highest viewpoint. The enchanting view of the sea and the beaches, the lush greenery and the picturesque setting makes it a favorite haunt for filmmakers. If you would rather sit back and watch the world go by, nab yourself a seat on a park bench and admire the artistry of the landscaped gardens and the manicured lawns. No trip to Vizag would be complete without a tour of the Kailasagiri Hill Park.
