| Hritu Kolkata | 21st November 2007 Puri | | Overview of the destinationPuri is the First Name every Bangali spell , when he is asked for any Holiday Destination. Reason behind this is the proximity from the Kolkata and the range of Hotels that you get there. I think , puri is the Only Beach , where you can even find a Sea facing rooom at Rs. 500/- Water is much cleaner . A small stretch of Beach is crowded , other are lonely.Enjoy Beach & Fish. Food, sight-seeing and shopping 1. Jaganaath Temple-Beware of Pandas. Just ignore them.
2. Chilka (1Hr 4m Puri)- You should must visit 2 see the Dolphins. Yatri Nivas is having a good Lodging and food options at Rs. 800/ .Try it if you have a group, else you get bored at night.
3. Konark ( 1Hr 4m Puri) - Enjoy Food at OTDC Resturent.
4. Deer Park-(15 Min)
Shop -- Saaries and Pearls Activities & things to do Early Morning - Enjoy the Sun Rise followed by watch fishes caught by the Local Fisherman.
Noon - Take Bath at Beach or Go for Sight Seeing
Evening to Night - Hire a Seat from the Tea Vendors and enjoy the Sea. Don't Venture the Fried Fishes at Beach. Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc. Train : From Kolkata, I preferred Puri Express or Jaganaath. Air : you can board for Bhubaneshwar and drive to Puri( 1.5 Hrs). Drive from Kolkata by Road to Puri also liked by some of my friends ( 6-7 hrs).
Tips : (a)Choose your hotel carefully , not all hotels are Safe.(b) Take help of 'Nulia' if you don't now swimming.(c) Avoid Fried Fishes at Beaches | | |

Subrata Roy |  | Should I check out the Puri Rath Yatra? | | So here is what I am thinking. Should I plan a visit to Puri during the Rath yatra on the 4th of July? I have been thinking of going back to Orissa for a visit since the last time I went there was almost 22 years ago. Is that a good time to go, even though it is likely to be i the middle of the monsoon? Look forward to some ideas & guidance from HIQers.
