Secluded Beach perfect for relaxation

Dubbed the best beach resort in Orissa by the cognoscenti, Gopalpur-on-Sea is a lovely laidback seaport village, far removed in spirit from the nearby temple towns of Orissa.

Gopalpur has gone back to being a quiet, relaxed place, but with one major difference- it’s today growing into one of India’s prettiest beach resorts. Nowhere as commercial and trendy as Goa, but with a charm all its own.

Gondola

Gondola: Public Transport in Venice, Italy:


 
The gondola is a traditional, flat-bottomed Venetian rowing boat, well suited to the conditions of the Venetian lagoon. For centuries gondolas were the chief means of transportation and most common watercraft within Venice. In modern times the iconic boats still have a role in public transport in the city, serving as traghetti (ferries) over the Grand Canal. They are also used in special regattas (rowing races) held amongst gondoliers. The gondola is propelled like punting, except an oar is used instead of a pole.[1] Their primary role today, however, is to carry tourists on rides at fixed rates.

Door to Hell

"The Door to Hell", as local residents at the nearby town of Darvaza calls it, is a 70 meter wide crater in Turkmenistan that has been burning continuously for 35 years. In 1971, geologists drilling for gas deposits uncovered a huge underground cavern, which caused the ground over it to collapse, taking down all their equipment and their camp with it. Since the cavern was filled poisonous gas, they dared not go down to retrieve their equipment, and to prevent the gas escaping they ignited it, hoping it would burn itself out in a couple of days. Unfortunately, there was a slight miscalculation as to the amount of gas that was trapped, and the crater continues to burn to this day.Photo: "The Door to Hell", as local residents at the nearby town of Darvaza calls it, is a 70 meter wide crater in Turkmenistan that has been burning continuously for 35 years.

Hampi Karnataka

Hampi Karnataka:
 


To begin with your nostalgic journey of great heritage attractions of South India nothing can be as hospitable as Hampi near Hospet town of Karnataka. It is a rich place situated within Vijayanagara, and the ruins are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a place that does not believe that bygones are bygones rather breathe in the yesteryear air underlining strewn hills and over five hundred monuments. Consequently, it would not be right to say that " If dreams were made out of stone, it would be Hampi"
