In case you want to try taht, you can even turn off NH5 at Tagarapuvalasa, around 18 kms before Vizag and take the beautiful Beach road via Bhimunipatnam directly to Rishikonda Beach (which is around 10 kms before Vizag).
@hvkumar - thanks a lot for the suggestion. Do we need to book it before hand or we can walk in there?

@shuvd - the distance is around 1550 to 1600 Km. So cost for siver bullet one way will be (1600/8) * 50 = 10K maximum. But if you drive like that then no point in going with you I have heard that if driven properly the 1.8 Tpi returns more than 12Kmpl on highways !!!
