Feel the ocean breeze, walk along a pristine beach, and start your day with energy and calm.
Yarada is the gentlest hike we run — 6–8 km along one of Vizag's most beautiful beaches and up the green headlands above it. You meet before first light, watch the sun come up over the Bay of Bengal, climb to rocky viewpoints, and are done by 9:15 with the whole day still ahead. Perfect for beginners, families and anyone who needs the sea more than they need a summit.

Questions, answered
I've never hiked before — is this for me?
Yes. It's our easiest experience — mostly beach and gentle headland walking, fine from age 6.
Why so early?
To catch the sunrise over the Bay of Bengal — it's the heart of the experience. You're free by 9:15.
What should I wear?
Comfortable shoes you don't mind getting sandy, and a cap for the walk back.
Can we swim?
The morning is built around walking and viewpoints — ask the lead about conditions on the day.
