Gopalpur-on-Sea
Spot the historic lighthouse and the beautiful sandy beaches of this colonial-era seaside resort.
Rushikulya River Mouth
The famous mass nesting site for Olive Ridley sea turtles where the river meets the Bay of Bengal.
Visakhapatnam Port

Dolphin's Nose

For the best experience, book a window seat on the left (Seat A) for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the water. This side provides a continuous view of the coastline throughout the 1-hour flight. Look out for the distinct color contrast where the lake meets the sea.
