Puri

The overall experience at Puri is satisfying. Although the Grand Road leading to the main temple of the town is crowded one can never fail to view the towering Jagannath Temple. The temple on its own is the most dominant attraction to visitors. As one approaches the temple complex, shops, hotels, and restaurants line both sides of the Grand road. There is a profusion of handicrafts available in shops and extended shops near the road. The Puri beach is another great attraction, where the coast line is dotted with garment shops, handicraft shops, and vending food items. On the white sandy beach handicrafts are sold at bargain prices. The beach is always full of visitors as they view the seamless sea of blue water and the waves crashing into the shores touching the joyous feet of the sea...

Autorikshaw transportation for passengers is very expensive as they don't carry fare meters. Town buses don't have fixed bus stops, therefore commuters most of the time are not aware of the timings. Although cleanliness drive has started, it has not picked up as many places outskirts of the city are dirty and visually unclean. Main roads have been widened, but the Cuttack Road needs to be widened to put pressure off heavy traffic. Helmet wearing has been made compulsory within the city, but on highways to Cuttack or other cities, it has been observed that helmets are not worn and traffic check is not made.
