    Sadma's 6 days trip to Bhubaneswar

    Thanks to travel triangle for connecting us with P R Tours. We had a hazzle free trip to Odisha with PR Tours. Tha cab driver Mr. Sanathan Ojha was so polite and helpful. The cab of patra travels was good in condition. The hotel's provided were best in location and courtesy. But average in clea
    nliness. Overall it was very nice. We had a trailer experience of rain and wind of odisha while boating in chilika.

    Rhythm

    Rhythm's 5 days trip to Bhubaneswar

    Everything was great apart from Chilka Lake. Chilka lake is a big Scam. I repeat Chilka lake is a big Scam. Not worth it at all. Visit this lake if u have ample amount of time & money. We visited in the month of May, 2023 and they charged 3000/- after so much negotiation and guaranteed that u will d
    efinately see Dolphins & birds. But, in reality u will not see either of them. They will fool you after wasting your precious 4 hrs and when u will come back at the shore in the evening, nobody will be there in the office to complain because they knew that they have made false promises. Most interestingly, all the cab drivers are involved with them and will not reveal anything to any travellers. There were so many people like us who were complaining about the same. Besides, there is no fix charge. There is a group who paid just 350/- per head with the same package and when I requested them can I be a part of the group and will pay my share, the authorities simple refuse to be a part of the group. So, be aware of such scams and spend your valuable time at some other places. Also, on Chilka lake they will try to grab some money by showing fake pearls & stones. Be cautious & don't get trapped. Cab driver is very adamant taking you to the places of your choice. We just requested to take us to a temple in Puri and he refused stating that road is very narrow. Then we walked through that road and it was wide enough to drive the car and be parked. On the other hand the cab driver will take you to the Raghuraj painting village where roads are so so narrow where it is almost impossible to take the car. Not sure if they have any vested interest. So, just be aware, do your research and include the places at the time of finalising the package rather than requesting the driver on the day of visit. Apart from these things, trip was great and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Thank you Travel Triangle & Ind d Voyage for this memorable trip. Jagannath Temple Visit, Golden & Chandrabagha beach & Konark Temple
