Mindful meoweler tips

The Beaches of Vishakhapatnam

Cats can enjoy lounging on the sandy beaches like Rishikonda and Yarada, but should avoid weekends when it can get crowded.

The Simhachalam Temple

Cats can visit this famous temple dedicated to Lord Narasimha, but should remember to remove their shoes and be respectful of local customs.

The Local Cuisine

Cats can indulge in spicy Andhra-style Biriyani and snacks like Mirchi Bajji, but should be careful of overindulging as it can cause indigestion.

The Araku Valley Train Ride

Cats can take a scenic train ride through the lush greenery of Araku Valley, but should book tickets in advance and bring some snacks.

The Kailasagiri Park

Cats can enjoy the panoramic views of the city from Kailasagiri hill, but should avoid the crowds during festival times.
