Rich in history, high in style, plush in nature; Visakhapatnam is indeed a place that can win you over in the first encounter. Who doesn’t know about the pretty Dolphin’s nose, or the very beautiful Rushikonda beach, or the serene Araku Valley. The beauties of Visakhapatnam are abundant and Chai Bisket will definitely explore those. But the awesomeness of the city lies in all the superlatives that it holds within itself. All of the things that put Visakhapatnam at the top of a list claimed an entire post for itself! If Visakhaparnam were a person, it would be the type of student who was the topper, the sports captain, school head and the popular kid all in one!
Here is all of its awesomeness, in a list!
1. Vizag played home to India's first Naval Base. Its might was effectively demonstrated during the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971.
2. This place is the only city with two major ports in the world. Like any city can hold only so much awesomeness but Vizag has space for double of it!
3. Hindustan Shipyard, India's oldest and largest Shipyard is at Visakhapatnam. The first ship to be fully constructed in India after independence was here.
4. The Gangavaram Port of Visakhapatnam is India's deepest seaport.
5. India's first nuclear submarine INS Arihant which means, destroyer of enemies, was built in Vizag.
6. The city has a submarine museum, the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, at Rama Krishna Beach.
7. The nation's most powerful lighthouse is atop Dolphin's Nose and directs ships 65 kms away. No wonder it’s a huge tourist attraction.
8. The harbor at Vizag is the only natural harbour in all of the east coast.
9. India's first rare earth minerals extraction plant is located at Atchutapuram of Visakhapatnam district. It works with ferroalloys..
10. Vizag Steel is the most advanced steel producer in India and largest single site plant in India and Southeast Asia.
11. While all of this already put Vizag on the map, now, Vizag is due to get India's First Packaging Park.
First, largest, deepest, one of its kind… these seem to be synonyms of Vizag with all these feathers in its cap! We are pretty excited to find out more about this awesome place and we soon will.
