The tour to Puri is a fascinating experience as I completed the 3rd time tour, but it becomes everlasting to me. Puri by the side of Bay of Bengal is known for the sea and Jagannath Temple, but it is more than that. The site scenes are marvellous as you will find The SunTemple in Konark, Chandravaga seabeach, Lingaraj Temple, Nandankanan, Udaygiri, Khandagiri, Dhabalgiri Chilka etc. What is more important is your hotel booking there first of all. You may search the hotels in Google and can make a direct contact with them. Most of the people prefer the Swargadwar place infront of the sea, but it will be wasting of money cause the sea is always beautiful in daylight.We recommend the CT ROAD area cause it is clean and not conjested. The beach is called here as Silver seabeach. The same sort of pleasure you will find here also,rather more. We took the hotel HOLIDAY HOUSE and it is a nice accomodated place. The manager, Mr.Binodbihari Tripathi is a very fine and amicable person. He solved our all sorts of hazzards with smiling face. You may contact him in this no. 9439231418. e-mail:tripathybb15266@gmail.com. You may refer also my name as your assitance. Remember donot book any travel agency or pandas there. If you ask him, he will manage it as he manage it to us even in the season time i.e. in DECEMBER/JANUARY. Take 4days tour. 2days for site scene, 1day for only bathing and marketing, 1day for the puja to JAI JAGANNATH. The pics of the hotel and the manager is also given in my Puri Album. Try to avoid the MOONLITE RESTAURENT and HOTEL BLUE MOON because they are very poor in food and rash in behaviour. It is situated beside the road to sea you will go. If hire the private car donot give more than Rs.5000/ for 2days outing in season. We have hired a Winger of 12seated car. In any temple donot take any flower or make any worship according to the pandas, they will destroy you. Remember from the CT ROAD to SWARGADWAR the auto will charge Rs.50/ An auto can take the load of 7/8 people. Must burgain at puchaging. In KONARK you may take your launce in NEW TRIPTI RESTAURENT(A/C). Its food and manner is fine but economy. In CHILKA the DOLPHIN SHOW depends on your luck. But if you want to see minutely the works, try to avoid CHILKA. Must visit also the GOLDEN SEABEACH, LOKNATH TEMPLE, ADWITA ASHRAM, OMKARESWAR TEMPLE with Tripathy ji. The room cost will be 800 to 1000(non a/c delux) in season time, otherwise Tripathy Ji may provide you free of cost....????? Anyway take a short package tour from HOWRAH by JAGANNATH EXP, PURI EXP, DAURANTA, and so many. Watch photos in the album and descriptions in the YouTube videos of nirupam74 and nirupamroy74 chanells.
Friends, Very shortly a description of a great tour will be published with pics and videos in this blog, till then keep in touch with me...
Friends, recently I have visited Tufanganj Railwy Station with my friends. It looks great in the night, colourful and decorative.It is already prepared for the journey, only after the occational inaugaration. You can view its pictures in my slide show in the same name. Even I have prepared a small video on it for my youtube chanel - nirupam74. It will start its journey probably from January 2012 as reported. It is also assumed that UTTAR BANGA EXP. will start from here,though the news is in pending condition,but undoubtedly the railway connection MAYNAGURI-YOGIGOPA provides the inhabitate of Tufanganj a good opportunity for better development. The importance of the place will be increased surely. The linkage with NEW COOCHBEHAR is already completated and the trials are already made. So waiting for the good news is very nearby.
We have gone to JALDAPARA SANCTUARY yesterday, but a failure to view the wild animals.We donot know exactly how many wild animals are there, rather it seems to me that the sanctuary is wild one without life. One thing should be remebered that the entertainment now becomes a place of the earniigs of some people like guards and guides. It is also noticiable that they are now also telling lies as the animals have come yesterday or the day before.The fact is that no one know the truth of that, may be they are true may be not, however the place has the beauty of NATURE.
ROUTE CHART:
you have to go to MADARIHAT. it may come from coochbehar to sonapur more, take the route of chilabata forest, go through the forest without taking any turn along with the metal road, see the the guards in different places, find KODALBASTI, then you will find the BSF camp, and GURUDWARA and then HASIMARA, take left turn to MADARI, cross a big river TORSA with a rail bridge along with, straight MADARIHAT. You may come from KOLKATA. stop in FALAKATA, take the reserved car to JALDAPARA, may cost 600/-, you may come in KANCHANKANYA EXp or the trains which take that rout of DOOARS. You have to book the lodge from KOLKATA, online booking is also possible, you may book in HOLLONG BUNGLOW or in JALDAPARA FOREST LODGE. for the north tourist the booking is possible from JALPAIGURI. remember different charges are applicable for diff. elements, never say you have the muvee camera, it will cost you Rs500/-, say only the still camera(50/-).
ADVICE:
stay night, in HALLONG, and make car suffary or eliphant ride(only in the morning), donot be influenced by the guides, they are always trying to devour you.
for further knowledge see the the GPS location, see some photos and videos in nirupam74 chanel in youtube and in this blogs, go there in the month of DECEMBER(last)/JANUARY, have time in your hand also visit GARUMARA in MURTI. Next information will come shortly.
