Kailasagiri Hill


Kailasagiri Hill, rising above Beach Rd in the north of town, is a landscaped park with panoramic views and jogging tracks. You may want to avoid the cable car (one failed and injured several people in 2016). There's also a sculpture park, playgrounds, a toy train, a gargantuan marble Shiva and Parvati and several cafes. Bus 10K runs here from Ramakrishna Beach or an Uber/Ola taxi costs about ₹80.
