Hey folks! I’m looking to spend a day exploring the historic Sankarambadi Fort and the nearby attractions around Visakhapatnam. The fort is free to enter and open 24 hours, and it’s best visited in the cooler months like October or November. I know it’s about 10 km from Rushikonda Beach and 15 km from Kailasagiri, with a 20 km drive to the Indira Gandhi Zoo. I’m wondering what the optimal route would be if I want to see the fort, grab a bite, hit the beach, and maybe squeeze in a quick visit to Kailasagiri or the zoo. How long would each stop typically take, and is there a recommended sequence to avoid traffic? Also, any tips on parking or local transport options would be great!
