Kailasagiri
కైలాసగిరి
A hilltop park at the northern end of the seafront road, with a white giant statue of Shiva and Parvati, a cable car and a mountain toy train, offering panoramic views of the bay and the city.
Kailasagiri is a small seaside hill about 173 m high. The hilltop park's most striking feature is a white statue of Shiva and Parvati about 12 m tall. It is surrounded by a floral clock, a sculpture garden, viewpoints and a children's playground. You can ride a cable car up from the foot of the hill, and there is a mountain toy train that circles the summit. From it, you can see RK Beach, the coastline toward Rushikonda and the city. The view of the seafront road's lights is best after sunset. Admission is very cheap, but the cable car and toy train cost extra. It gets crowded on weekends.
