This is my story of the time when covid has almost ended and things were coming back to normal. I, like most of you, has been bored of being at home, so me and my friends decided to visit Puri, Odhisha. Let’s dive into the story of my trip to Puri with our super duper imperfect planning.
As soon as it was finalized that we are going for a trip, I was excited, I started watching you tube videos and decided all the place I had to see. I also came to know that Puri contains beaches and I have never been to any beach before.
How to reach Puri? The only partially perfectly planned thing of the whole journey.
Firstly we booked flight for that day. It was also my first experience of sitting in a flight. You can read my first jittery experience here.
There is no direct flight till Puri. The flight is till Bhubaneswar from Delhi, and from Bhubaneswar, there are many ways like buses, cabs etc to reach till Puri.
Yes, the flight from Delhi till Bhubaneswar was the only thing properly planned before reaching there.
The never ending wait for the flight.
If you have read my previous post, you might me aware that our flight was delayed multiple times, so we reached Bhubaneswar at mid-night.
Now, our main challenge was to pick a hotel to stay for the night. While waiting for our baggages at Bhubaneswar airport, scrolled ‘make my trip’ app to find a hotel nearby.
Were we able to find a hotel?
Yes, after searching for many minutes, finally we found one hotel. It was walking distance from airport. So, we decied to walk till there. We reached the hotel and to be honest it was not at all worth the price. Well, maybe that’s what you get when you do super aweome planning like us.
Searching for good hotels is really a task. If anyone has some good tips on how to find a good hotel at affordable price, do share them with me, I struggle with it a lot.
How to reach Puri? Yes, we didn’t plan that too.
Anyhow we managed one night there and next morning our task was to find ways ro reach Puri. So, most of our time went on searching ways to reach Puri, we were exhausted and we read that going to bus will take 4 hours to reach. So, we chose going through cab instead. It would take 2 hours only.
