Hello friends!
I am here again with an interesting story of visiting the city of Bhubaneshwar Odisha from 12th to 19th November 2019. My 1st Solo travel experience. Exploring the place with unlimited abilities hidden within me was itself an adventurous ride for me.
Let me start with my very first air travel experience with you all. 🙂
Let me start with my very first air travel experience with you all. 🙂
Nature has always been fascinating to me since childhood; so I chose the city of the rising sun - Odisha to explore. I decided to travel all alone by air so booked my Flight ticket in advance on Indigo Airlines on Indigo 6E 598 flight No on 12th November 2019
My journey began from home where I had to answer my loved ones...How, What, Where and When....its obvious guys! They love me 💖I answer them calmly, patiently n told them to trust me and give me a chance to prove my endless abilities.
On 12th I started from home at Noon. Booking the Ola, getting into it, carrying a backpack and a laptop bag. I was all set to experience the whole new world out of my comfort zone.
At the airport, I met my escort Mr. Sandeep Mohite Indigo ground staff who was very helpful throughout.
Security personnel Mr. Navin Divedi was so co-operative. I gave him all the necessary information and Cooperated in his routine checking. It is our duty to be co-operative with the staff who works tirelessly to make our journey safe. Ground staff of Indigo Airlines was very good which gave me a sigh of relief. Gorgeous air hostess Ms. Ritika and her staff made me so comfortable in the flight. These people are for our safety & assistance so I respect them.
I also met a famous film personality Kishore Mahabole who is on trip with his family.
During Take off of the flight gave me a beautiful view from the Window seat. I found Mumbai like a tiny pearly island which was shining in the sunlight. At sunset, it was a magnificent beauty shining around. It was like heaven.
After the sunset, I experienced the dazzling beauty of earth which lightened up with a cluster of stars. It was a real treat to anyone's eyes.
The whole journey of 2 hours on the flight was astonishing. I didn't even realize that I was traveling alone. After landing it was so smooth to reach out with help of Indigo staff and my brother Sanket Morajkar was waiting at the arrival gate to receive me at Bhubaneswar Airport.

Going forward, on 16th November I visited Nandan Kanan Zoological Park and Botanical garden. 'Nandan Kanan 'means The Garden Of Heaven' and believe me, it was truly heaven. Where I enjoyed White tiger Safari, Bengal Tiger Safari, Lion Safari, Variety of migratory birds...
This place is totally accessible. I could enjoy each and every section of Zoo. The staff was very Cooperative. They provided me with a wheelchair; which helped me to reach everywhere easily
On 17th November I visited the local Bhubaneswar city. Exploring the historical caves of Khandagiri and Udaygiri Hills was really wonderful. Udaygiri has 18 caves and Khandagiri has 15 caves on its hills. These caves have unique motifs. The Jain temple at the top of the hill enshrines some old Tirthankaras and affords a panoramic view across the plains.
Then I visited Odisha State Museum. It was so amazing to know that it is divided into 11 sections viz Archaeology, Epigraphy, Numismatics, Armory, Mining and geology, Natural history...
On the same day, I visited Dhauligiri Hills. Here the famous rock edicts of Ashoka are worth witnessing. Shanti Stupa of Dhauligiri also known as the Peace Pagoda.
Then I visited the Lingaraja temple. Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva is one of the oldest in Bhubaneshwar; the most prominent landmark of the city.
Friends I want to tell you that though all these things were tiring I managed to enjoy everything. The explorer in me was so happy. I was truly experiencing a feeling of " The Sky is the Limit".
On 18 th of November I visited Sirul Mahavir Temple. A huge figure of Lord Hanuman is enshrined in the sanctum who is preciding deity of temple.
And finally, the most awaited thing falls into place. Yes! My visit to The Jagannath puri temple! My dream was coming into reality after long. I climbed up all the 22 stair cases with my walker. It was really tiresome but when I got through the main entrance of the temple; the feeling was heavenly. The religious aura of the place connected me with Divine strength and all my tiredness vanished and I was feeling light like a feather.
Seeing the flag mounted on the top of the temple is a treat to eyes. It flows in the opposite direction of the wind
Gaining Lord Jagannath blessings and Darshan was a great experience. Everyone there was so Co operative that despite their strict code of conduct I could take Darshan happily.
Visiting a Beach glowing with immaculate White sands offered a respite from the chaotic City Life. The sunset view was mesmerizing . We also enjoyed lantern flying in the night sky at beach.
My next visit to the Konark Sun Temple was very distinctive. This ancient temple tells the saga of India's rich heritage.
So friends! This is my Solo Travel experience of Odisha; which helped me to become more comfortable in my own skin. It helped me to explore my thoughts, ideas, and dreams. It sky rocketed my self awareness.
Stay tuned guys! I will be back with more...
