Madhurawada is one of Vizag’s fastest-growing areas, located in the north of the city near the IT hills, the cricket stadium and several engineering colleges. New apartment complexes, shopping centres, cafés and restaurants have opened here in recent years, and it has become a popular place for young professionals and students to live. For Myra members, Madhurawada offers modern, convenient settings for a first date. Introductions here often include people from PM Palem, Kommadi, Carshed, Yendada and Rushikonda, depending on your distance limit. The beach at Rushikonda is a short drive away, which makes a lovely second date. For a first meeting, choose a café on the main road, where it is busy and well lit. Weekends are calmer here, and brunch at one of the newer cafés is a relaxed way to meet. Madhurawada was once a small village surrounded by cashew groves and hills, and parts of the old settlement can still be seen near the temple at its centre. The IT hills, officially called the IT SEZ, were developed from the mid-2000s, and many of India’s technology companies have offices there. The ACA-VDCA stadium, opened in 2003, has hosted international cricket matches and draws crowds from across Andhra Pradesh. To the north, the Bheemunipatnam road leads to one of the oldest Dutch settlements on India’s east coast, with a cemetery and lighthouse that make an interesting outing. Weekend markets in PM Palem sell fresh produce from the surrounding villages, including local cashew nuts and mangoes in season. The Kambalakonda wildlife sanctuary, with its eco-tourism trails and treetop walkways, is only a short drive west and makes a wonderful daytime outing once trust is established.
