Picturesque small fisherman’s village called Vizagapatnam has existed fort more than 13 centuries in east coat of India. Vizag remembers ancient civilizations and great people that wrote its magnificent history. Situated in a "Picturesque Amphitheater of Hills", The city stands itself on a space backed by the blue sea on the one hand and the vast landscape on the other. Beyond this landscape, we find the Simhachalam Hill range jutting almost into the sea at Kailasagiri ("Thomas' Folly") and Rushikonda ("the Sugar loaf Hill") in the North East and the Dolphin's Nose hill range projecting as bold headland into the Bay on the South and pyramid-like hills on the fringe of tidal swamp on the West. It is said that the Rushikonda and the Dolphin's Nose hill protect the city from the ravages of the roaring sea, however, these constitute some of the outstanding topographical features of Vizag. Another outstanding feature of the city is its rocky and sandy hills inside. They are the Ross Hill, Darga hill, Venkateswara Hill in the South , the sandy hill range from King George Hospital to Utagedda in the North and the twin hills between which passes the Waltair Road.
