Experience Shared by the Traveller
I am a doctor by profession and so it becomes impossible for me to leave my patients unattended for a long duration of time. But, the monotony of my job sometimes compels me to take a short break as it really refreshes my mind. So I took up The East India Golden Triangle tour as it is a very compact package and it easily took my attention. When I started with this tour, I found it to be very soothing, as it is a short duration package of 7 days, covering four places - Puri, Konark and Bhubaneshwar and Kolkata. The spell in the Puri beaches is exhilarating and relaxes the mind and body. The cuisine served in Puri, is delicacies comprising of both rich and plain cuisine. In fact, it was the stay in Puri that oozed out all tension out of me. I loved Puri for it has the roaring sea, the Jagannath temple and offers simple cuisines. I was impressed by The Sun temple complex, which was in chariot form carved out of stone, I have a photograph of mine in-front of the huge wheels of the chariot. Moreover, in Puri, the hotels are along the coastline and so they offer an enthralling view of the surrounding sea. The East India Golden Triangle really satisfied me as it catered to places beyond Orissa and later on culminated in Kolkata. Thanks Indian Travel.
