Anand Mahindra admits he’ll skip Vizag’s new glass bridge despite calling it ‘stunning’. Here’s why

Industrial Anand Mahindra, known for his sharp observations and witty remarks on social media, has once again wowed the internet with his latest tweet. This time, his attention was caught a spectacular upcoming tour attraction in Visakhapatnam – a glass skywalk perched high above Kailasagiri Hill. The Vizag glass bridge is expected to open for tours in the coming days. (X/@anandmahindra) Sharing his thoughts on the breathtaking structure, Mahindra wrote, “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. Unsurprisingly, 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. But Vizag’s version isn’t far behind with a vertical drop of 262 m.” The industrial revealed in his post that while it’s visually impressive, he might admire it only from afar. “It looks absolutely stunning, but will it make it to my bucket l? 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. Mahindra’s candid confession struck a chord with social media users, many of whom admitted to sharing the same fear of heights. “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 said. “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 l, 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!” commented 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 l just for the thrill and the views over Vizag,” wrote 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.
