Thread Approved

Thanks a lot for this

We did stay at Rushikonda Beach in Vizag. Harita Beach Resort, if i am not mistaken. And we did take the beach road which then entered a village before we rejoined the highway.

Re: Vizag(Few must visit places by riders, drivers and photographers)

Hey The Monk, thanks for the approval.

I think you guys may have took the road behind GITAM college or MVP road.

This road most people don't use or don't know of, mostly because its a area full of IT company buildings and new apartment constructions.

I myself found out when I visited this place to give interview at a company :banghead: .

Will post more pictures tonight with relevant details, till then enjoy the view :

Vizag(Few must visit places by riders, drivers and photographers)

So the next location is Rushikonda, I know it is a very common known place but just to jog the memory of team Xbhp of there visit to Vizag:

This road is a bikers paradise all the way upto Dr. Ramanaidu studios and beyond, but be careful as they have added a few speed breakers at some high speed turns.



This turn if handled well and if no traffic will surely bring a smile for sure :



And now for the famous Rushikonda beach and the Haritha Beach resort :



It was a beautiful place once but due to recent cyclone Hud Hud and people throwing garbage everywhere, sad to see such a nice beach destroyed.

There is also a man made extension of the beach which is pretty cool and dangerous also(for the adrenaline junkies), I don't have the picture right now but will update by this weekend.

Directions: well it is a famous place so I hope google will be able to help you here.

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

Next on the menu is Yarada (actually there are two parts of this place), So part 1:

This road is some what like mini lavasa but with half the road width, length and triple the danger. Hopefully my pictures do justice to this place.



This road is one of the roads which leads to not so popular and very far away Yarada beach, I love this place but as I said its far and length of the road which is enjoyable is just 6 km and to reach it you have to go through some of the worst traffic.

I envy our Indian navy in this regards as they have occupied some of the very best tourist locations in Vizag and one of them is this place (but because of them this place is isolated and perfect for weekend getaways), Respect to our Indian armed forces for keeping us safe.

Now for the directions:



Part two will be up soon but have to compress lots of pictures and have to get my back up hard drive asap.

Re: Vizag(Few must visit places by riders, drivers and photographers)

Thanks Krishna, there is lot more kool places which I would love to share with you guys and hopefully I get the time to upload the pictures soon.

Hey thanks Anupam for the appreciation and I actually put up the pics and this thread after reading one of your adventures "Xbhp Bbsr Trip To Deomali, Highest Peak Of Odisha", so you too have inspired me to put this thread up.

When you visit Vizag and need help finding these places do not hesitate to contact me.

You will definitely enjoy Vizag and most of all you will love the traffic or more like miss it as there is none.

You too can contact me if you need help finding these places.

Re: Vizag(Few must visit places by riders, drivers and photographers)

bro please finish the log quickly so that i can see if i have left-out any place , I have already added Yarada to our list. One more thing I like to ask you is, if one want to visit Dolphin nose, can we take ferry from Ross hill to dolphin nose or one have to go around the port. please have a look at the route map - https://www.google.co.in/maps/dir/Ku...1446!3e0?hl=en

Re: Vizag(Few must visit places by riders, drivers and photographers)

Hey Anupam, I posted new place to the thread but the pictures where a mess in the post, anyways here I am again will try to post in a better format.

Regarding the route you found, I am not getting time bro to check it out and I sold my pulsar 180 and awaiting for the damn KTM rc 390 to arrive so temporarily out rides.


So 3 weeks since last update :

Recently to make a memorabilia with my beloved pulsar 180 did "one last ride" and the place of choice was Aruku valley (had little to no sleep and no food, was a impulsive ride):

Its a beautiful place and people who have not visited here, to give you an "Idea" its some what like Ooty and Himalaya (Okay that might me little over exaggerating ).

Basically its a hill station near a coastal area, I love Vizag because of the variety of geographical and topographical places it has to offer that too in short distances like with in 100 kms..!!!

These pictures were shot just after crossing S.kota :



This is the starting point of Aruku, Here you realize that you have mistakenly left beaches and entering somewhere else which is unknown :



Jai Hanuman, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and party :



This is the point where you realize that you have ridden too much and you are high :



Water Fall Yipee, couldn't go inside as was a solo ride, by the way you can climb up the water fall to take some crazy dp pics.



Here on wards was pissed off on my gloves, so many pictures to take and was constantly taking gloves on and off :

Check out the dragon fly which photo bombed



This crazy signal light stands there like nobody's business all alone :



The first time I was on this road, me and my friends where actually lost searching for a damn waterfall (which is not there) :



The Skoda ahead had a cute girl in cargo made me lose my focus couple of times :



This road is the most crowded but equally beautiful, but if you like "lonely roads" the detour towards the so called water fall route is best :



Time for some Pan :



I am not posting the route map because this place is a maze and half of the routes are not visible in google maps, word of caution only Airtel and Bsnl network are working in this area and that too signal is scarce.
