Visakhapatnam�s pride and joy, is it's Dolphin Head, a long and low hill that looks like a gigantic dolphin that has surfaced in the Bay of Bengal to guard the port city and its Eastern Naval Command from outside forces. Though, this is one of the friendliest cities on the Indian coast. Everybody is welcome here. The people are warm and embracing.

They open their hearts, their homes, their kitchens to perfect strangers. And they introduce them to the wonderful world of coastal Andhra food. Local greens from the farms outside Vizag, seafood from the Bay, plump prawns from the Godavari, chicken and mutton cooked with aromatic spices, and flavoured with Guntur chillies and tamarind.
