The Kailasgiri Hilltop Park is a location beyond description. It is a planned venture and has been built on the top of a hill in Kailasgiri covering close to 380 acres. The park includes a beautiful statue of Lord Shiva made out of white limestone which is also popular among devotees.
Kailasgiri is among the most popular tourist destinations in Visakhapatnam. The city has been developed by VUDA as a tourism centric region and this has immensely contributed to the region’s economy. Before the development of such projects Visakhapatnam was just a port city depending completely in import and export businesses. Today more than 42% of its revenue is generated from Tourism. The Kailasgiri Hilltop Park is a location beyond description. It is a planned venture and has been built on the top of a hill in Kailasgiri covering close to 380 acres. The park includes a beautiful statue of Lord Shiva made out of white limestone which is also popular among devotees. The best experience at Kailasgiri Visakhapatnam which cannot be missed is a ride in the Kailasgiri Ropeway. It is a ride over the beautiful valleys of Visakhapatnam which are known for their lush green forests. The view from the top is just exotic and cannot be compared to anything earthly. The ride is also quite economic and easily fit into my budget. After taking a long ride in the ropeway I felt energetic and decided to take a trekking session at the Kailasgiri Park. The park is just immense and completely natural. In order to preserve the natural beauty of the park and also to keep it popular among tourists the park has been declared as a plastic free zone by the local administration. You are not allowed to carry any eatables packed in plastic into the park and not even disposable plastic water bottles are allowed as they lead to a lot of litter. This hygienic setting has made the park an example for other such tourist spots in India which are usually marked by heaps of litter. The local authorities have won several awards and acclaims for maintaining a beautiful park. The park won the 2003 “best tourist spot of Andhra Pradesh” award. It also has become widely popular amongst foreign tourists both because of the natural beauty and the general cleanliness. The park is also easily accessible both by bus and taxi.
