A more than 100 year old church on the hill top. One can reach up via steps and paved roads. The view was good in the early morning and evening. The place is too clean and maintained well. Do carry an umbrella for the day time as there are less shady area. You can also see some Navy ships from here. The hilltop has dedicated parking space for 10-15 cars.

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.It 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.The main attraction of this locality is The Church, Mosque and Temple are located within 100m apart from eachother. A peaceful and delightful place with good view of the industries and port.Situated in the industrial area and at the outskirts of the city.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.

The hill on which the church stands derives its name from a local Judge, Monsieur Ross who is known to have built a house on top of it. Two years hence, Bishop Msgr J. M. Tissot occupied the bungalow and in 1867, an altar was erected and a chapel was constructed by the Vicar General Fr. Richard. Natural calamities brought unfortunate destruction to the church compelling the reinstallation of a new statue of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart in 1877. April 1942 witnessed Japanese raid over Visakhapatnam during which Bishop Roussillon took a vow to take his people under the protection made available at Ross Hill Chapel. Magically, there were no more raids over the city any longer. 10th February 1946 witnessed the first Thanksgiving Procession. This has become a very important aspect in the lives of the people living in Vizag and it makes it an event to lookout for. The church is almost a hundred years old.

Ross Hill church offers amazing views of sea and the city both at night as well as in daylight. One can watch big ships very closely and the city lights sparkling bright at night. The church itself is very old and well maintained. It has no entry fee and parking for 2 as well as 4 wheelers is available at the top of the hill. One can also climb up steep stairs to church from downhill.

Nice place for sightseeing and praying God both as well... Worthy to visit this place to have some peace 🕊️... Bit pollution but it is okay to spend some time over this place... You can have a small shop for drinks and bit snacks too.... You can have secular feel here.... If you stand at top u can see right hindu temple left side mosque and behind church... Right top corner u can see lighthouse on a small mountain..

Ross Hill Church welcomes you with open arms and the liberty to attain peace and tranquillity in whichever way you find suitable. It thrives on the fact that tourists like to rush to this location to achieve rejuvenation, relaxation and mental peace. One can enjoy panoramic view of the city and Port and witness one of the most beautiful sunrises or sunsets you could possibly imagine.

This church is located in corner of city.. Location is backward... The view from church is not much attractive... Church is in top of the hill... Neat and clean... Well maintained...

This church is situated 5-6km away from RK Beach, auto and local cars are available for rent. This place is worth a visit, you can have a full city and port viewpoint from this place, and it is so peaceful to be there. Also, dolphin nose points can be visible from this place if the weather gets clear.

Ross Hill Church is a beautiful church in Visakhapatnam. The church is about a hundred years old. The architecture of the Church is very beautiful. The view from the Ross hill is amazing. A must visit if you are in Vizag. This place is 3 km from RK Beach. Here you can see Hindu temples, Christian churches and Muslim mosques in one frame. You will also get a good view of the Harbour, beach and coal shifting from here.

I visited this place on Christmas day. It was quite eventful. There was a very beautiful Christian ceremony going on. The place is clean and well maintained. From the top, you can see inside the shipyard, it's a beautiful view. Connectivity: only private vehicles or reserved auto go to the top of the hill.

Must visit have a perfect view of secular India and the majestic view of Vizag City along with it's most expensive economic and security chain in Bay of Bengal the Vizag Port

Rose Hill shrine located near the Port area of Visakhapatnam. Which is very sacred place for christians especially RCM. Views from the hill top are astonishing and so scenic. Prayer hall area is so vast and church design and building style so asthetic and non- chalant with peaceful atmosphere all around.

Awesome spiritual and tourist location. Very calm and cool location. Good thing is that we get to see the awesome view of Cargo ships entering port.

Ross hill Church is have a great view point towards the port and city of Vizag

Absolutely stunning! Even if your vehicle isn't willing to take you to the top (happened to us) it's a very short walk, the view from the top is AMAZING! so beautiful, must visit!

Lovely place in the midst of the busy City . It provides some spectacular view of town, sea , port all at same time . The church located here is 1904 built and it's very serene . Get inside and open your heart to Lord and be sure that he will listen . The hill is also famous for having all three Temple, Mosque and Church in Close proximity . One can view the temple and Mosque from the hill top . I visited with my family for 1st time this Christmas and it's a amazing experience . The drive on step road , the view , the breeze and holy joyful atmosphere . The place has ample sitting place and also makes it ideal for picnic . One can easily spend entire day here . It's beauty , nature and divinity amalgamation.

Amazing landscape! Has A LOT of potential for cinematography. The view was insane!! I took a photo of the statues on the road↓↓

Excellent church with a beautiful view. Small and wonderful altar. Lot of people visit with packed food for a family lunch. There is accommodation to stay as well. Hope the pilgrims/tourists maintain it clean. The drive up the hill and the view is Marvellous.

It's a nice place.. We went there early in the morning for sunrise... It's a hill, in the hill top this church name as rose Hill church is there plus in the starting u can see a temple and in d mid way one mosque is there... I feel which shows a beauty about india... That we all are the same and one with different colors 😊

Less crowded surely a good place to visit. You can see the to view of port area. The place is maintained decently, and the architecture is good and old. Worth a visit, we can also get the sighting of naval houses from there.

Top of a small hill called Ross Hill. View is awesome, of the Port, the city and the hills around. The church is very peaceful and soothing. It's a little hard to get autos to go to the place and to come back had to wait and struggle for it as it's inside the Port area, the road to this place is very slow and harsh. No tickets needed.

Beautiful Church at the hill top, Driving is steep. A nice view of the city is available. Parking facility & a small coffee shop is there.

Amazing place to visit along with your kids. View of shops docking and a brilliant view of the harbour. The church was serene and the mass was excellent. Bring your car up the hill but steps are a bit steep to walk down. Nice place to pray and spend time on a fine Sunday morning l

It is above the mountains. We went there on Sunday. Prayers were going on. From here, view point is also great. There are different statues of Jesus defining his life. Also there is a mosque aside of this church. U can see port, sea and other mountains from here. One of the must go place of vizag.

This is one best places in Visakhapatnam which one should visit. Ross hill gives you a view of the Visakhapatnam harbour. Big ships moving around. Also this hill is a mark of religious unity. As it has a church a mosque a temple all together.

Very holy and divine place. Awesome atmosphere and location. Best place to visit

Beautiful old church very well maintained. Gives good vibes with pleasant atmosphere. The hill offers a nice view of the shipyard and the sea. The hill road is too steepy and can be challenging for new drivers.

Very nice & peaceful place. One corner of the city limit. From top of the hill we can see vast views like sea water channel, ships inside port and most part of the town.

Peaceful place i visits 4th time luv this😘

Great views of Port & old city.

Very peaceful place in vizag. You can see the complete view of vizag and vizag port area. This place is located near vizag port area .

A place of utmost significance for the people of Vizag. Great view from the hill top.

Awesome place....the journey up the hill is a steep slope..so drive carefully. The view from top is worth the effort. The church is clean and refreshing.

Oldest church in Vizag, best visiting place car goes directly to the top of the church. Vizag total view, port trust, shipyard, dockyard, wear housing yard of coal, iron ore, conveyor belt system stackers, reclaimers up to ship loading point. Dolphin nose hill one side view.

Beautiful church! Must visit if you're around vizag.

Beautiful place. But not easily accessible. Need to take a long ride, but it's really worth going there. Amazing view and can vouch for the pleasant weather. Better to go there in the evenings.

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.

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 also Actually the view of the port is blocked by the grown trees on the hill. Otherwise we can see the whole port from this 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

It's really pleasant... It's not just like Church, more like tourist place... People from other will also come there to see the beauty of the place... There is nature harbour in one side, port on the other side... Because of It is on the Hil, we can see the High tower from so long without any doubt... I recommend this place to visit with family , with friends, & with girl or boyfriend too 😂

It was nice experience. I like this place. Awesome view

Very clam church ⛪, in house shop for candles and related gifts are available by church management. The route to church is quite steep if you are going by car. Drive safely.

Its a older one the view was prettyy good. Situated on the top of hill besides iron ore merine,shipping,harbour looks awesome definately watch this one

Pleasent scenario,good atmosphere,one of the best location in vizag and all three religion temples in here.

Spiritual centre for Mother Mary devotees. Ross Hill a renowned destination construction dates back to 1850. A serene and holy place..

Spiritual place

God

One of the beauty spot in visakhapatnam along with chemical and port unity of religions we can see at one place during sunny beautiful scenaries when it comes to night it's like eye feast for beach lovers. 😍

Superb location

Lovely location and quiet surroundings.

Peace

Nice place

Wonderfull location

This is one of the oldest church in vizag and you can observe a special thing in here which depicts secularism that is you can see hindu temple, mosque and church all three situated at the same place .... Yes they are built little bit far from each other (but not so much) and as the church is built on a mountain beside the shipyard you can almost have a vission about the kind of activities goes on in a ship yard, you can always see a huge cargo ship through which coal is unloaded and you can see the huge coal yards around the place which is supplied to steel plant through the India's largest conveyor belt can be see all though out the road to the church and something which is more interesting is you can see tug boats pulling the ships through the cannel to place it in the berth. Finally you can visit this place with your friends and family.

Peaceful

Perfect beach view from this place

Awesome experience for me

Holy place..... Good view

Peaceful place wit gud view

Amazing place on the edge of Vizag. Very nice to visit once for a new tourist. It's a Catholic Church. And it has a good vibe. Has a pleasant and peaceful feeling.

Awesome place

Just love this place. You can spend some amount of good time from the top of the hill.

Good view of sea

Peace'

Holy place

Very Beautiful And Very Peaceful It Is A Good View Point And Good Environment ❤😍

It is a RCM church & a monument established in 1904. Famously called as Konda gudi by local people.Nature , surrounding and the environment is admirable. People generally come to visit the place ,for prayers and for the vows they have made.

Pleasant atmosphere . Peaceful view...

It's really wonderful place to spend devotionally And one of oldest church in Vizag with having around more than 130 years history. I enjoyed with my family allot. Beauty of this church is we can watch entire city, beach and port etc

This is basically a Christian place where u can offer prayers but also one of the heights in vizag from where u can see harbour and also the temple itself is beautiful to see.

👍🏻Recommended A 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 sunsets Entry fee - Free Parking - Free Average Warp-up Time - 20 minutes

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 it's ambiance brings a peaceful vibe to this otherwise industrial landscape.

This church is located inside Visakhapatnam port trust and better view of shipped ships and ferries can be found. There is also a ferry point. From where you can enjoy the views of different kinds. I've attached some photos for reference

A peaceful and delightful place with good view of the industries and port alike. Situated in the industrial area and at the outskirts of the city makes it less visited place even though it has all the looks of a tourist place. One of the reason for not being that popular as it is seen as a religious site. Rest is upto you.

I got to hear father speak. It was nice. Also, beautiful view from the hill top.

It's a beautiful,serene and a holy place to visit. Very peaceful and scenic and a must visit place in vizag.

Beautiful church but is too far from the city.. beautiful view from all angles.

One of the serene place to visit at vizag.. most beautiful church I had visited so far

It is one of those places which brings in positivity, helps me get over all the difficult times going in life.! Really worth visiting not only for tourist but also for the residents of vizag (Visakhapatnam). One of the best devotional place to visit for.

~~*Bookstore & He*~~ It was almost the time of sunset and the mass was going inside the Ross hill. It's kind of odd for the city focks whose half life spend in an eternal city rash. So it's almost evening the intensity of the setting sun is yet to bloom from my dusky face. As I can't control my inquisitiveness to see the beautiful place. The hills are entirely covered like lush evergreen trees, the reflection of magistic ships upon the surface of the port area, that blackness in the wind from the elongated charcoal belts just..... ..... ..just added more n more to that beautiful place. I didn't very much know about this place but I found this to-be-officer who was humble enough to take me a visit. He made me familiar to that place first n then to himself. I used to think i didn't know him but today I got to(a little) but enough to get lost while penning this event now( a satisfactory inquisitiveness i can't even pen ) _________dusky🤎 This is the poem i penned down after I first visit to this hidden seren of Visakhapatnam. I while symbolising GOD IS ONE it also present in front of you the view of this port city, you might have never seen before. Vizag'ican if you are done with visit Kailash giri then discover this side of the city now🌼

Awesome view point. We can notice the coal storage arrangement like in pyramid shape. The nearest bus stop is old post office bus stop. All over it was wonderful experience.

Nice hilltop view Small ghat for vehicles and a step way to walk 3 temples of 3 different religions shows how United we should be Harbor view Port area coal coke preparation factories good view Good photographic spot

A very calm and good place to visit. Especially on Sunday. On the hilltop. Near port trust. Have awesome view from top. Everything looks fine. Nice place of worship. Must visit. Add on ur itinerary.

One of the beautiful Church in Visakhapatnam.The church is almost a hundred years old. The Architecture and view from the hill is amazing. A must visit place if you are in vizag.

Very nice and serene place to visit. Having very good view of Docyards, cole distribution center. Here you can come enjoy the view and pray to lord Jesus.

Wonderful ambiance. View of Visakhapatnam Port is amazing. This Church is very old and well maintained. Overall environment is very peaceful, calm and quiet. There is no entry fee and no parking fee as well. Get to watch big ships very closely. Must visit in place in Vizag.

I love this Church and it's one of Vizag's oldest church. The Fathers here will accept your prayer requests and pray for you when ever you approach them. Most of my prayer needs have been fulfilled here and that's one of the reasons I attend English Mass on Saturdays at 5:30pm.

Stunned with natural view from the top of the hill. Prayer room is also very clean. Just awesome place where an evening can be spent with loved ones

A picturesque location with a great view of Vizag port, ocean, ships and mountains. The church is also very photogenic.

Built in 1904 it's a piece of history and a time travel. Amazing that it's still standing in its full glory at the top of the hill with mesmerizing view of the city

The Rose Hill Church is a serene and historically significant place in Vizag. Visitors often appreciate its peaceful ambiance, making it a soothing place for contemplation or to admire the architectural beauty and historical significance it holds.
