    History

    Gandhi Hill was established as a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi. The Gandhi Stupa, a 52-foot tall structure, was erected to commemorate his life and teachings. The hill was chosen for its commanding views, allowing the Stupa to be seen from various parts of the city. Over the years, the site has become a significant place of reflection and a reminder of Gandhi's principles of peace and non-violence. The small museum at the site houses photographs and artifacts related to Gandhi's life, further enriching the historical context for visitors. It also houses a library of Gandhian literature.

    Kids train was not working from past 1 year, planetarium was newly upgraded and it was good experience request everyone to visit cost is 40 per person timings 4:30 pm to 8PM minimum 10 tickets required to start the show. If Govt take the steps to restart the train service this will be one of the goof attraction in vijayawada which is near to the railwaystation and Durga temple.

    Excellent. Awesome view. We saw Durga Mandir, Prakasham Barrage, Vijaywada railway sation and another temple over a hill. Enjoyed the view during sunset. Lighting effect just after the sunset was mondblowing. The journey in troy train around Gandhi hill took us back to our child hood memories.
