“Will it make it to my bucket list? Probably not": Anand Mahindra on India’s longest skybridge in Vizag

Industrialist Anand Mahindra remarked that the spectacular upcoming tourist attraction in Visakhapatnam has caught his attention, but most probably, it won’t add to his bucket list.

He wrote on X, “This new glass skywalk in Vizag, perched over Kailasagiri Hill, is reportedly opening next week and it’s already being touted as one of the tallest of its kind in the world.”

He elaborated that China still holds the global records for skywalk height and length, with the Zhangjiajie glass bridge placed 300 m above ground and stretching 430 m long.

The upcoming structure in Vizag isn’t far behind, with a vertical drop of 262 m.

Though it’s visually impressive, Mahindra said he might admire it only from afar.

“It looks absolutely stunning, but will it make it to my bucket list? Probably not. Heights and I have a complicated relationship. For now, I’ll stay an armchair #SundayWanderer and enjoy the views through videos instead,” he wrote.

Netizens respond

Many social media users commented that Mahindra’s fear of heights has resonated with them.

“Completely get that, sir! Vizag’s skywalk looks amazing, but not everyone has to conquer heights to enjoy it. For many of us, the thrill of watching the videos is more than enough - safe, exciting, and still breathtaking,” one user shared.

“Completely relate to this! The #Vizagglassskywalk looks incredible and it's amazing to see India joining the ranks of global architectural feats. Even if it doesn’t make it to everyone’s bucket list, it’s something to be proud of as a landmark. For many of us, enjoying such heights through videos is honestly the best way safe, comfortable, and still awe-inspiring. Kudos to #Vizag for dreaming big!” said another.

“That skywalk definitely looks breathtaking, but I get the hesitation—262 m is no joke! For me, it’s worth a spot on the bucket list just for the thrill and the views over Vizag,” commented a third user.

“That’s totally fair. Not every adventure has to be lived firsthand—sometimes the best seat is the one with a safe view and a cup of coffee in hand. Virtual wandering counts too!” said another.

The new glass skywalk in Visakhapatnam, reportedly one of the tallest glass skywalks in the world, is set to open in the coming week.

According to reports, it is 55 meters long and stands at a breathtaking vertical drop of 262 metres, offering panoramic views of the city and the Bay of Bengal.

The Vizag glass bridge is designed to hold over 100 people; however, only 40 visitors will be allowed on it at a time.

As reported, the bridge is expected to open for tourists in the coming days.
