Nature abounds in Ratnagiri and Puri tourism

Situated on the lap of the Sahyadri mountains and on the shores of the beautiful Arabian Sea, endowed with the magic of nature, Ratnagiri tourism is a beautiful medley of sun kissed beaches of white silvery sands, swaying coconut palms, ever green lustrous mangroves magnificent hills, creeks, hot water springs and waterfalls together with ancient forts and monuments.

A little gem on the Konkan coast, the most famous spot of Ratnagiri tourism is the Ratnadurga Fort. A massive structure in the shape of a horseshoe, Ratnadurg Fort was once a strong hold of the Maratha Empire.

Today it is in ruins, but is a spectacular tourist spots, offering a dazzling sunset. The marvelous lighthouse situated in the bastions of the fort is a sight not to be missed. But perhaps the most intriguing attraction of tourism in Ratnagiri is the Swayambu Ganesha temple. The idol of Ganapati here is built of pure white sand and is believed to be self-originated - not man made.

One of the foremost attractions of Orissa is the Puri tourism. Counted amongst the ‘Char Dhams’ Puri is one of the holiest spots in India. The Jagannath Puri temple with its annual rath yatra attracts millions every year. What’s unusual about this temple is the main idol itself. Here the idol of Jagannath is a carved and decorated wooden stump with large round eyes and with stumps as hands, with the conspicuous absence of any legs. And don’t miss the gorgeous beaches of Puri.
