Got here upon a chance and the detour was worth every minute I spent there. Magnificent views of Vizag; the port and the city.The church and its ambiance brings a peaceful vibe to this otherwise industrial landscape.

👍🏻RecommendedA beautiful church located on a hill top around the exteriors of Vizag. It is one of the few locations in the city that can be climbed to get a fabulous view of the quaint city and the Port area. The church is frequently visited by photographers and nature lovers especially to view the beautiful sunrises and sunsets across the port and water crane area of the fishing yard.Must visit to view sunsetsEntry fee - FreeParking - FreeAverage Warp-up Time - 20 minutes

This Church is of Catholic faith but everyone should pay a visit for its scenic location, peaceful environment and is one of the oldest churches in visakhapatnam..Is situated on top of a hill..You can drive a car or bike up the hill on a sloped entry. If you want to walk, there are steps as well..It is a beautiful place with industrial, city and sea view from the top..The interior of the church is also quite good but not very spacious..The main attraction of this locality is The Church, Mosque and Temple are located within 100m apart from eachother..

One of the oldest churches in Visakhapatnam. Seen people from all backgrounds from different places coming here, both for spiritual and tourism purpose. Offering hair and valuable things for Holy Mother Mary and getting her blessings is the motto for many visitors. Neat, clean, cool and holy church open most of the day time to sit and pray. We have a wonderful view of beach, Ship building center and dolphin nose hill.

One of the peaceful and pleasant place in Vizag with very good view especially in the evenings. No much crowd in normal days. Make sure you a carry your own items (water bottle and other stuff) because nothing will be available unless the shop is open there. Alcohol strictly prohibited as this is a Holy place

Perfect example of religious harmony. Church, Mosque and Lord VenkateshTemple on same hill. View from top is awesome.Port area, Ship building area & Oil Jetty can be seen. Very near from coastal battery/ RK Beach. Approach road to hill is having steep ascent so need to be cautious if you are driving.

Church established in 1904, easily accessible by vehicles upto the hill, the Vizag city will be visible from the hilltop which also has a serene environment in a cool soothing breeze. To reach this place by walking from the downhill,steps approximately 70-80 to cover. Worthy to visit.

Ross Hill is one of the oldest church in Visakhapatnam. Built in 1867. This is a Catholics church. Here they worship Mary Maa.This place is also famous for its location.. on a Hill Top. The view of the port channel, and beautiful view of Dolphin Nose hill is really awesome. If you truly love nature, this is the place to be in, you will find beauty everywhere & off course God alsoActually the view of the port is blocked by the grown trees on the hill. Otherwise we can see the whole port from this hill.

The church has a beauty of its own. Situated in the middle of port trust, the path leading to it is slightly tricky for a visitor as it is a steep uphill, butter view from the top is worth the watch.

Ross Hill Church is a splendid attraction in Visakhapatnam that draws tourists and religious followers in large numbers. It is one of the few locations that can be climbed to get a fabulous view of the quaint city and the Port area. The attraction is frequently visited by photographers and nature lovers especially to view the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Ross Hill Church has beautiful architecture and a serene vibe that will hit the pause button to the endless mind chatter at least for a few moments. Tourists can explore the church and attend the prayer services and mass.

Beautiful church located on the top of the hill surrounded by ocean or sea. Near to harbour its location. Many people are visiting the holi place. But new comers its tough to find out the exact location to reach the the top. Bike and car can easily go to the top and we have parking in the top. Its a narrow slope road. From there the entire harbour looks great and the church also very peaceful. We can also enjoy the nature from the top

A monument of a church in terms of style and architecture, with history behind it. It is still very much used, and anyone is welcome to sit quietly inside. The views of the surrounding city are very interesting -- it is fascinating to see all the port facilities in particular.

This Ross hill is famous for church, temple and mosque. All three being in one place, it is a great tourist spot and most of the tourists dont know about this place. This church actually is in port area and on the top of the hill.So if you want to come here then can book a cab and must with return. Its very hard to get return auto or cab from here. Inside the church you can pray and sit quite a long time with peaceful mind.. Awesome scenic place and u can have good views of beach and port
