Your trip to Kailasagiri begins at the heart of Visakhapatnam, where the road gradually curves upward, leading you to a quieter side of the city. Along the way, you’ll see small stalls serving hot tea, children playing by the roadside, and the sea shining softly through the trees.

As you go higher, the air feels cooler and fresher. The city’s noise slowly fades, and soon you hear only the soft melody of birds around you. This is how Kailasagiri quietly reminds us how peaceful life can be.

Rides That Make You Feel Like a Child Again

There are two fun ways to explore this hill: by ropeway or by toy train. The ropeway lifts you above the trees, offering a bird’s-eye view of the coastline and the green hill below. Watching the city grow smaller as you rise feels almost dreamlike.

The toy train takes another route, moving slowly around the hill. Its open coaches let you enjoy the gardens, viewpoints, and people waving as you pass.

Each ride has its own charm; one shows the world from above, while the other brings the hills closer to you. Either way, get ready to play and forget your worries for a while.

The Eternal Couple Everyone Comes to See

Apart from the viewpoints and fun rides, what truly attracts people here is the 40-foot white statue of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.[1] Sitting side by side, their presence glows softly under the sun.

Visitors stop to take pictures, some bow their heads in respect, while others join their hands in prayer. Locals believe the divine couple blesses everyone who visits, filling the place with a special energy. Standing there, you feel a sense of calm that stays with you long after you leave.

A Place That Feels Like a Scene from a Movie

Walk a little farther from the main park, and you’ll find the Titanic View Point. From here, the Bay of Bengal spreads out wide and peaceful before you. Couples stand with their arms open, smiling as they recreate the famous Titanic pose.

Onlookers watch the waves, taking in the view and letting the breeze touch their face, letting a deep serenity wash over them.

The Skywalk You Must Experience

No trip here feels complete without stepping onto India’s longest glass sky bridge.[2] As you walk across, you can see the world beneath your feet, and the sight takes your breath away.

Some laugh nervously, others take careful steps, while a few hold each other’s hands, enjoying the thrill together. For a moment, it feels like you're walking on air.

Why Kailasagiri is Worth Visiting

Kailasagiri is the place where you see nature and creativity come together at every turn, with the city on one side and the sea on the other. Beyond the views, the park showcases remarkable engineering in how the paths and gardens fit seamlessly into the surroundings.

Every corner invites you to discover how human design and nature can coexist beautifully, making it a perfect spot for anyone wanting to explore India’s beauty from a fresh perspective.
