Start your day with a magical sunrise at Vanajangi, perched 3,400 feet high in the Eastern Ghats near Paderu. As dawn breaks, you’ll find yourself above rolling clouds, watching golden light flood the misty valley—a rare and unforgettable sight. Winter mornings (October to February) between 5–6:30 AM offer the clearest, most breathtaking views, drawing trekkers and photographers alike for this bucket-list spectacle. Reach Vanajangi by traveling about 100–120 km from Vizag, then take a short yet invigorating trek from the base village to the viewpoint. For the best experience, set out early with warm layers, sturdy shoes, and a torch, and avoid the monsoon season when trails become slippery. This offbeat gem promises a serene escape into nature’s awe-inspiring wonder.
