Overview

This Kakinada to Visakhapatnam coastal tour takes four days and three nights in Andhra Pradesh, with one night in Kakinada and two in Visakhapatnam. It pairs Kakinada's beach and the Coringa mangroves with Vizag's Kailasagiri hill park and Simhachalam temple. It suits easy-paced travellers, best from November to February.

Who it suits

Beach and coast lovers who want short drives and a mix of sea, mangroves and temples; not for those wanting nightlife or adventure sports

Good to know

Coringa visit

Access to the mangroves, and any boat or walkway time, depends on the season and the Forest Department, so it is confirmed before you travel

Temple dress

Shoulders and knees are covered at Simhachalam and other temples, and footwear is left outside

Heat

May and June are the hottest months, so the tour is planned for the cooler season

Rain

Visakhapatnam gets its heaviest rain in October, so beach and hilltop hours may be cut short
