16th August, 2008
As planned, we started the day a little early around 10.30 AM and head straight towards the Railway Station. While making the payment for our pencil booking, we were informed that the day we are planning to return to Vizag will have a "Political Bandh" and we may not get proper services while coming back. So we decided to change our plan for Araku. We booked the Hotels from 17th and 18th in Araku. But on two different Hotels of APTDC. On 17th August we will be staying in "APDTC Yatri Nivas" and "Mauyuri Araku APTDC" on the next day. Non AC room rates were Rs 900 and Rs 650 (cottages) per day respectively.
As we were travelling on Sunday, we decided not to book the first class tickets as the daily rush will be missing. So we save some amount of money :).
After that we went to a nearby hotel for lunch. The local Andra food was very good. Post lunch we head straight for the sightseeing. We covered Vizag port area, Old Vizag city ( Waltiar ), 3 hillocks, Ross Hill, Dolphin's Nose, Yarada Beach, Lighthouse and Simachalam.
