La tranquilidad, la inmensidad del mar (BahĂa de Bengala) y las poderosas olas son simplemente fascinantes. Hay muy poca gente, si es que hay alguna, ya que esta playa se encuentra a 35 km de la ciudad principal de Puri, conocida por el templo Jagannath Puri. Quienes vienen aquĂ suelen visitar el cercano Templo del Sol de Konark, declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO. Puedes nadar en el mar y cambiarte de ropa detrás de los arbustos (no hay vestuarios). Si prefiere una playa con presencia de guardacostas y vestuarios, entonces la playa Puri, cerca del templo de Jagannath, es más adecuada, aunque tiende a estar abarrotada. AquĂ podrás disfrutar de total tranquilidad y serenidad, con el relajante sonido de las olas refrescando tu alma.
You can truly feel the saying, "kabhi kabhi manzil se zyada suffer khubsurat hota h"... But in this case, both the journey and the destination are beautiful. By the way, as mentioned by a guide in the review list, Partha Mukharjee is absolutely right—this beach is not safe for bathing or swimming. However, the road conditions have improved significantly and are now very driveable. You can park your car or bike at the end of the village near the cyclone shelter or school (I can't recall exactly) and then take a short 5-minute walk to reach your destination. The place is peaceful, with zero crowds and no shops. MAKE SURE to return before dark because you'll be passing through a forested area with no streetlights to guide you back to the Balidokan, Konark-Kakatpur road.
