Well, we are describing Visakhapatanam- Vizag for all one of the best ports in the nation.An old world charm beckons you in Vizag yet, modernity is evident in every nook and cranny. Bullock carts and cars walk the same path concrete high-rises and thatched roofed cottages with while painted walls are next door neighbors.
