Overall Tip
So in my whole trip series
This place was best
I came here in night by Jaganath Mail as i didn't get any better place for sleep
So i thought going
...
more...
to puri might help me atleast i can sleep here as i know last time in 2011 i came here station has better amenities...
So i booked UTS ticket went to 2S and reached PURI
I was so tired of continuous 25 hours of travel without having proper meal and rest . . .. thereby i was looking for waiting room and TTEs were checking tickets i told him that "mujhe neend aa rhi h waiting room btao.. ticket subha check kr lena" ЁЯШ╣
He said ticket dikhao phle mene uts khola aur ticket dikhaya fir bola ki udhar h waiting room.. then i went in waiting room it was empty, peaceful with cool temp.. no smell no garbages.. neat and clean.. slept on marble made sitting area and directly waked up at around 8-9 am..
So here are few things to tell u all... Specially for solo travelers
1. IRCTC Food Track available and it was open in Night as well, however food are limited in nights.. and outside station few shops were opened i didn't went to main road but shops were open as it can be easily visible from the exit/entrance
.
2. Waiting Rooms available and was in very Good Condition... Washrooms were neat and clean .. even in morning i at 9 am after used by lots of people still it was neat and clean...
As in evwry 6 hours they came for cleaning
So waiting rooms are best, dont know about retiring room but booking was closed online so no idea about that.. however hotels in the town is available at good rates being religious tourist city u can find hotels of any budget
.
3. Autos/E-Rickshaw available outside station and also govt bus also available for going to beach and Temple.. fare for beach was 5 rs only.. i have attached the Bus timing pic.. however for beach auto takes Rs 20 (i m talking about Golden Beach)
.
4. It is well known tourism based city which has most famous temple under char dham.. everyone knows that, apart of it there are many places related to Religion and Historical also bio diversity..
However i must say you must visit Golden Beach which is under India's Top 10 Cleanest & Finest Beaches.. feels like goa with no liquor... But for family its best, no crowd at all entry fees rs 20 and for bath entry fee rs 50..
It is covered and has entry / exit points . .. i have attached pics of beach
It has life guard available who are here to safeguard you for any issue in sea water
There are showers available here seperate for men & women and also changing rooms...
This was best thing ЁЯШМ
Bath in Sea fresh my mood.. i had train at 11 am so i have to go early else i will spend 2-3 hours more here
A perfect Nap on sand ЁЯШ┤
.
5. Water vending machine available here and it works
.
6. Jaganath Temple Trust counter at entrance is available also with souvenir shopee
.
What i Dont like is that the platform height is very low, very difficult to sr citizen pax and divyangjans
.
So overall rating is 4.5/5

Thanks

Cleanliness has improved vastly in station and golden beach.
When I went there last time in 2004, beach was open and unclean. Due to heavy rush in golden beach we opted for chakratirth road beach back then. Station had average cleanliness. City bus was not there.
On my April trip could not visit station and beach and directly went to konark by road from temple

Haan, normal beach mein rush rehta hi hai. Samaan ki rakhwali ke liye humne bhi senior citizen family members ko bithaya hua tha.
Sudarshan patnaik ka khud ka sand art gallery bhi hai konark road par jaha 30 rs entry fee hai.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
