Kailasagiri park
Kailasagiri is a large hilltop park in Visakhapatnam offering wide views of the city and the coast. It features paved walkways, gardens with flowers, prominent white statues, a cable car for reaching higher points, playground areas for children, and small food stalls scattered throughout.
The park was developed decades ago as a place for people to relax and connect with nature. A temple once stood on this hilltop, and it was eventually replaced with the large statues that now define the site's character.
The park's name comes from a story about Lord Shiva and his wife Parvati, and visitors often gather around the large white statues to take photographs and pause for reflection. The way families and couples spend their afternoons here shows how the place has become a social gathering spot where people enjoy the outdoors and each other's company.
The park is easy to reach by car or local transport, with parking available nearby. Visit in the late afternoon or evening when the air is cooler and the city lights begin to twinkle below for a more pleasant experience.
Several Bollywood films have been shot here because of its striking location between hills and the sea. Walking through the park, you might find yourself imagining scenes from classic Indian movies playing out around you.
