Our tour to Gujarat was everything we expected and more. The trip was organized by Jai and he did a great job. Our main interest was to visit the Tribal People of the Kutch and to see the way they live and how they produce the beautiful crafts that they are renowned for. This we did. We also went to a " salt processing plant", which is a "must do" if you are in the Kutch. Unbelievable ! And the Jain Temples are works of art. Truly beautiful.Our hotel accommodation was good in general, and we were upgraded, at no cost to us, twice. Very grateful for that. Dealing with Jai and his company has been a pleasure. The email response has always been prompt to any enquiries that we had and the money transfer were was easy. They can be fully trusted to give you an enjoyable holiday of a life time. We wish all at Discover Activities the very best for the future and can highly recommend them without hesitation. Don and Julie

Orissa part 1 : Day 1 Arrival at B

Travel from
Gangtok : flew out o Pakyong to Kolkata and Kolkata to Bhubaneswar. Access by train and road
Also doable

Mayfair Lagoon is a magnificent property spread over twelve acres. 9 km from Biju Pattnaik airport with approximately 15 km travel time and 4 km from nearest city CENTRE. With majority of the rooms overlooking the lagoon. Once you enter the gates you enter another realm.
Since this was a group trip with family and friends and for a group size of 13 this couldn’t be a better suited property for the diverse age groups . Swimming pools in the villas and cottages and spacious tastefully done rooms and detailing in every nook and corner. There are play areas for the little ones

*Something for everyone*
The jogging track for the fitness freaks and the pools for the swimmers. The well stocked Tea Pot ( dining area) the classy Baron and Baronness Bar with a lot of vintage cars and photo ops for social media uploaders including the picture with the Johnny walker. The propeller plane with a story of road travel from Kolkata to Bhubaneswar is something you would want a picture for posterity.

Well stocked coffee station in every room. Some cottages had offices for business stays.

Service : impeccable and courteous giving the residents. They wait on you with a smile.

Since the cottages rooms and villas are spread out you can find your own space and corner when you need a break.

Palate : tea pot and lemon grass is where we went. The buffet at Teapot had a wide variety of breakfast for all palates.
Local breakfast recommended by the chef were assorted patha and aloo vada
Lemongrass : pad thai and gyoza recommended

Bathrooms : Mayfair bathrooms are curated to suit different habits. It’s pretty and squeaky clean and like all Mayfair bathrooms you will find signature bucket, mug and stool. Ours was a blue stool this time.

Covid: protocols in place.

Pricing : affordable luxury and if you like service and personal attention you get it.

This was a stopover since the flight arrival was after 7.45 pm.

The next morning was a drive to Puri. 1.5 to 2 hour journey. Traveling in large groups takes longer .

Puri home to the famous Jaggan Nath temple. We checked into Mayfair waves and were greeted with Tika and Khada and welcome drinks. Quickly checked into the rooms and prepped for the beach. The suite overlooked the Beach and the view was stunning. The Mayfair Heritage is across the street overlooking the beach. The group had to spread across two properties since it was fully booked for the holidays.

Mayfair Waves has a private beach. The beach was clean and the golden sand was refreshing. There were appointed trained “noila” who will take you for body surfing in the waves. Like any other beach in India you will have vendors providing massage and selling shells and conch and tea and coffee. They will sell pearls, gemstone and diamonds too. A word of caution towards buying the pearls, diamonds and gemstones.

Since the beach was a private there was plenty of space for kids to run around and swim in the sea. If a large group wanted events organized that was possible too.
Come evening it’s high tide and it was time to head towards the pool. Some activity for children like pottery and pot painting was available by the poolside. If you want some snacks and drinks then the counters are available for that too for the residents.

The Samunder Restaurant served sumptuous tasty food for the hungry and tired . Their sea food salad and sea food starters are a must try.

Day 3: breakfast and Beach. A quick visit to the Jaggan Nath Temple and temple food for lunch. The concierge will provide assistance for the temple visit if informed in advance. Be sure to wear chappals( Sandles) that can be washed since temple is barefoot access only.

Post that it is all beach and beach. The kids loved it.

Day 4. Onwards to Gopalpur the hidden gem. A3.5-4 hour drive by road south of Puri. The drive was beautiful through the paddy fields and and Eastern Ghatis. There is an alternate longer scenic drive which was under repair and we couldn’t take that. Stop by at Chilka Dhaba if you want to try local cuisine.
The prawn and crab Oriya style were finger licking good with Naan and Rice. If one hesitated at its ambience, all was forgotten when the food was served. It was one busy dhaba where the restaurant was serving over 100 persons at a time mostly local customers. There maybe a wait time of 10-15 minutes, since our group was large it took us a while to find space.

Driving through the fields and Ghati, we reached Mayfair Palm Beach Gopal pur on Sea was a refreshing surprise.

When you enter you get the Mediterranean vibe and as you move in you realize that it’s a 107 year old property that has stood the test of time and changed hands. It is by the Gopalpur Light house and it has been tastefully upgraded to its current state by the Mayfair group. With high ceilings and beach access and well manicured gardens and lawn. Overlooking the sea it has its own story to tell where the biggest names of the country have been hosted over its 107 years. The rooms and suites are tastefully done in pastel bright colors and local sea shells being part of the decor.

The beach is an active one with Water scooter rides at Rs 1000 and Catamaran ride locally called as the banana boat ride at Rs 1500 for a group of 5 which will take you to the sea and let you swim in its calm waters. ATV in the sand and Horse and Camel rides are also available.
Recommended time is October to Dec for Seaside fun, Jan for Riddle turtle ( that swim across the ocean) mating season view and migratory birds between Jan to Feb and Dolphins in March. Gopalpur on Sea is an experience waiting to be discovered. There are other hotels and resorts along the shoreline right upto the Gopalpur Port. There is a Hotwater spring within 70 km distance called Taptapani. Konark between Puri and Gopalpur.
For this time our focus was time in the seaside.
Children feedback both beaches were fun one was pure beach and swimming in the sea. Other was full of activities.

Parents : seafood was delicious and crab and prawns were in plenty and each place the size and taste unique based on the source. Everyone of them was scrumptious.
There are many options along the beach and the public beaches appeared clean and well maintained.
Staying at Mayfair Properties across Orissa was an affordable luxury where they excel in hospitality and Service.

Do give a thumbs up if you find this post useful.

Day 5 evening headed back to Bhubaneswar and Mayfair lagoon and day Six returned via Kolkata and landed in Pakyong while enjoying the view of the hills before landing .
Kalimpong aerial view was exiting if you know Kalimpong well.

Reached home. For lunch tired and happy

Bookings available in MakeMyTrip/ Booking.com or directly in Hotel website.
Many plans are available to choose from.

Go Orissa Go for seaside fun.

This was a short trip and we went from Gokarna. It was about 1.5 hour drive but loved the beauty. The temple has times to follow and the trip could be a waste incase you travel without checking on the time. You may not find restaurants and cafe’s around, it is advisable to carry your own supplies.

The government has indeed spent a lot of money to build this corridor between Delhi and Agra. I totally loved the journey. The road is simply awesome. My driver was showing me the stretches of the highway where the IAF aircrafts touch down and take off. Felt amazing. Absolutely non tiring.

I signed up as a single traveler for 2 days and 1 night. The owner contacted me to ask if I would be ok to join a small group, which I understand, given the distance and expense for a single traveler. So I agreed.
The positives:
Arif, my tour guide was very friendly and paid particular attention to me throughout the journey to make sure I felt included and informed. Our driver in the way out was a fairly typical driver, over taking and the like but I felt safe at all times.
Sundarbans is magical, with the mangroves and the diversity. Sadly I didn’t see any tigers and I think you must be incredibly lucky to do so as you travel the full day on a noisy boat up the estuaries. So you’ll only see them if you are in the right place if they happen to come out and go into the water. The watch towers give you another chance, but again are filled with tourists who are quite loud.
The village we stayed on overnight was delightful and very comfortable. It was rustic and natural and I really enjoyed it. We had some local music for entertainment and I really liked the food they served.
Interns of wild life, we saw lots of spotted deer and crocs and the 2 otters, which was really special.

The negatives:
The group I joined was larger than expected, 20 people with many kids and small children, making the tour more chaotic than expected. Leaving on time was never an option. To be honest though, the only time it really impacted me was on the drive home. I was feeling quite sea sick from spending 10hrs on the boat.Arif was incredibly sweet and tried to help me out. Our driver home was another story. His driving was truly insane. It’s a 3 hr trip and the roads are really bad. His driving was very aggressive in terms of over taking, swerving to avoid potholes and stopping suddenly for speed bumps. I was sick twice out of the moving vehicle and the guy didn’t even stop. The rest of the group clearly felt the same and when we stopped half way, they all got out for a rest break and chai, delaying the journey from hell a bit longer. We made it back in one piece but that drive home is one I would never want to repeat.

Overall, Sundarbans is well worth a visit and I have no complaints about the tour guide I had. As a single traveler, I would question the group you are allocated too and if possible, try request a car rather than the bigger bus to travel in, with a decent driver.

Dear Charlie, thanks for you valuable feedback and inputs suggesting betterment of the tour facilities, kindly note booking single doesnot mean that whole journey and and the tour will be operated exclusively for you. There have to other members to make this tour happen. We understand your scorn about other fellow passengers, but please note the platform used by you is for the betterment of mass travellers. There are exclusive travel agencies which one contact if they want to travel like a luxury traveller. Also note indian traffic includes trillions of traveller and we cannot expect a smooth sail on roads which you might be expecting at home. We understand that your expectations were not fully matched by us but we have outlined the reasons above.
