The Ropeway while providing a panoramic view of the beach within limits from Dolphin's Nose to Appu Ghar and an aerial view of the concrete jungle with splashes of greenery would be the forerunner for the hilltop Circular Train Project grounded by VUDA to provide a bird's eye view of the entire Visakhapatnam with its resplendent hill-valley-beach ambience.
