With the arrival of November, the winter chills have already started to set in Vizag. Soon it will be the holiday season. Annually, it is during the festive season of Christmas, New Year, and Sankranthi that there is a surge in tourism across India. Some families, friend groups, and even solo travellers go on well-planned vacations during this time.. Additionally, many newly married couples opt to travel for their honeymoon, as winter is also the wedding season. Since Vizag has the mountains and the beaches, it deserves resorts as beautiful as its sunsets.
