Leaving the temple spires of Bhubaneswar behind, you follow the Bay of Bengal coast south into Andhra Pradesh. Duvvada lies on the southern edge of Visakhapatnam, the stop for the steel plant and the Gajuwaka area, and the train down the East Coast line is the natural way to get there. Paddy fields and palm groves slide past the window for most of the day.

The 22819 Intercity Express leaves Bhubaneswar at 07:35 and reaches Visakhapatnam at 14:55, a daytime ride of about 7 hours 20 minutes.[1] Duvvada is a smaller station than Visakhapatnam Junction, so check that your train has a stop at Duvvada (DVD) before you book.
