Beaches Of Gopalpur & Puri
On the eastern coast of India, not far from Calcutta, are the
beautiful
beaches of Gopalpur & Puri in the state of Orissa. These beaches are
not exposed much to tourism & hence are still unspoiled. If you are
looking for a quite holiday in the lap of nature, head for these beaches.
Puri is also the home of the Hindu deity Lord Jagannath, the 'Lord of the
Universe'. His 'rath yatra' or midsummer chariot festival draws many a pilgrim
into town. Each deity is placed on a chariot & is drawn by precisely
4,200 men - thus, contributing the word "juggernaut" to the English
language. From Puri, Konark is just an hour's drive on a good road. Visit
to the famous Sun Temple of Konark is the highlight. To visit the beches of Puri & Gopalpur, we have range of hotels and advise us your requirements enabling give programmes and cost - based purely on the beach and or with culture as well.
