Dubai is my favourite town that we visited recently. I enjoyed so much and it has become my favourite place. Dubai is my first international trip. We took a flight from Chennai International Airport to Dubai's UAE. There I found a lot of interesting activities especially a theme park which is completely air-conditioned which literally shook me. Then I went on the world's fastest ride, world's highest slide and in Atlantis there is a ride where it's actually like a river where you can just float and have fun. I also experienced an immense sense of safety over there. I lost my phone twice and yet I could find it within seconds. People over there were more responsible and very friendly. Other than that, there were beautiful beaches over there in Dubai. Those clear beaches with corals and the climate and the clean place made me very much happy. After that, in the evening we used to visit the beach from another part of the city where we can see the beautiful skyline of Dubai. Tall buildings, interesting activities and many more attractions. I could never stop when I talk about Dubai. Other than that, we saw various new cars, high-branded cars and we roamed in Dubai malls for hours together. Yes, Dubai is my favourite town. We also visited the world's largest swimming pool which is Deep Dive Dubai where inside the water we have a car, we have a bike, our chest goes inside the water. On whole Dubai is amazing.

A tourist attraction which I enjoyed most was Puri in Odisha, a place to cherish. Over there I went with my family during my Diwali holidays. The place is full of good and positive vibes. Over there we stayed in a hotel opposite to a scenic beach. In the evening the beach was very beautiful, we could see the sunset and the environment around was cheering up the whole place. In that place we could sense Lord Krishna's survival. It was a place which indeed made the whole city of Puri name on it. The scenic view, the people over there, everything was just beautiful which cannot be expressed through words. The place was not only a visitor place but also a heart warming place. I feel that it was one of the best trips of my life. I have visited there many times but I feel that I need once more. The feeling of this once more is because of the city.

Follow up questions


What specific activities did you enjoy while visiting Puri?
During my visit to Puri, I enjoyed relaxing on the beach, watching the sunset, and exploring local markets. We also visited the famous Jagannath Temple, which was a spiritual experience. The vibrant culture and delicious food added to the overall enjoyment of the trip.

How does visiting Puri compare to other tourist attractions you've been to?
Puri stands out to me because of its unique blend of spirituality, natural beauty, and cultural richness. Unlike other tourist spots I've visited, Puri has a deep connection to tradition and history, which makes it feel more meaningful and memorable.

What would you recommend to someone planning to visit Puri?
I would recommend visiting during the Diwali festival for a truly vibrant experience. Make sure to explore the local cuisine, visit the beach for sunset views, and take time to visit the Jagannath Temple. Engaging with the locals can also enhance the experience significantly.

The tourist destination I enjoyed visiting was Mahabalipuram which is nearby Chennai in Tamil Nadu. A major temple called as a shore temple symbolizes the artistic invention of the unique tripartite structure i.e. there are three separate shrines dedicated to lord shiva, vishnu and brahma and also the shore temple is right beside the beach which makes it more picturesque and more beautiful. In addition to that there are so many parks and tourist destinations in Mahabalipuram which are really exciting to see and more than any Chennai or anything I like Mahabalipuram and the temple is so old that it was constructed in 1080 i.e. almost 1500 years old and yes

Follow up questions


What other attractions did you visit in Mahabalipuram?
In addition to the shore temple, I visited the Pancha Rathas, which are five monolithic temples, and the Arjuna's Penance, a massive rock relief. Each site has its own unique history and artistic significance, making them fascinating to explore.

How did you feel about the local culture in Mahabalipuram?
The local culture in Mahabalipuram is vibrant and rich. I enjoyed interacting with the locals, tasting traditional Tamil cuisine, and experiencing the local festivals. The warmth and hospitality of the people made my visit even more memorable.

Would you recommend Mahabalipuram to other tourists?
Absolutely! Mahabalipuram offers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. It's a perfect destination for anyone interested in ancient architecture and scenic beaches, making it a must-visit for tourists in India.

Follow up questions


What other tourist attractions have you visited?

For instance, I enjoyed visiting ancient ruins and national parks, where I could appreciate both history and nature. These experiences have broadened my perspective on different cultures.

How do you usually plan your trips?
I typically don't plan my trips in detail. I prefer to go with the flow and explore places spontaneously.

This way, I can enjoy the journey without feeling too constrained by a strict itinerary.

What is your favorite memory from visiting Moona?
One of my favorite memories from Moona is walking on the glass bridge. The thrill of being so high above the ground was exhilarating.

So, I recently visited Chittor Ghat, a tourist attraction. It was 6 hours of visit, where you were allowed to watch monuments, the rundown heritage places. It also had lake bodies with all the descriptive information. You can just read on and view those beautiful places. You also have short breaks in between, where you can just enjoy some food or snacks. Take a small gap from the visiting or just relax and then again you can go back for the visiting. The place also had a lot of guides who would help us in explaining the heritage. So, if you aren't aware about the back story of the place, then you would definitely hire a guide to learn about that particular place. It was really really huge place covered within 7 km of the space and all the monuments, all the statues, all the temples were really really beautiful. We also took some photographs so that we can make a memory of it. It was really an enjoyable day. I generally used to sit in a cafe and enjoy my time, but exploring new things and that too knowing your culture was a great experience.

Follow up questions


What other tourist attractions have you visited?
I have visited several other attractions, including historical sites like forts and palaces, as well as natural parks. Each place has its unique charm and history, which adds to the overall experience of traveling. I enjoy exploring both cultural and natural sites.

How do you usually plan your visits to tourist attractions?
I typically research the attractions online beforehand, looking for reviews and must-see spots. I also check for guided tours and local food options. Planning helps me make the most of my time and ensures I don’t miss out on important details about the place.

What is the importance of guides when visiting historical sites?
Guides play a crucial role in enhancing the experience by providing in-depth knowledge and stories about the site. They can highlight historical significance and cultural context that you might miss on your own, making the visit more enriching and informative.

In my opinion, traveling is a kind of medicine for human and we should often go to some places where we feel peaceful as well as we feel relaxed. One such place I visited last year was mountains near Lonavala. I went there with my two friends, Niju and Ankit. We went on to boating as well as camping near a lake in Lonavala. Name of that lake is Pauna Lake. It is a humongous lake with a lot of boating equipment as well as it is well guided by people around there. We visited those mountains in rainy season and it was a quite peaceful experience. I think I would like to visit that place again with my other friends. It gave me a feeling that I should live life to the fullest. Moreover, having such trips make us feel more confident and I think we tend to work more after having such trips because our mind gets refreshed due to these kinds of trips. I think everyone should enjoy a trip or go on a trip once during 6 or 7 months.

My most enjoyable tourist place is Manali. Yeah, it was a good trip with my friends. My college arranged a gang trip of four to visit the Manali. Actually, it was a train travel. All the things were provided from the college. We just want to go there and visit the place where the government provided under the scheme of Bharat. We four went there and enjoyed the place. We visited the tunnel which is very long of 13 km inside the mountain. We four were not aware of these kinds of snows there. When I go there, there is a large amount of snows in the roads. We couldn't travel as much as we desired. But it kept a memorable trip throughout the life. In those days, we didn't have enough funds to travel to those destinations. But we got a chance through college. That makes this trip remarkable. We enjoyed a lot there. We had a local shopping over there. We had local foods which everyone must try there. There were lots of falls and snow mountains. During early morning, it was very chill and the temperature decreased.

So, last year, I got the opportunity to go for an art retreat. I am an artist by profession. So, when I got the opportunity, I was asked to give my painting in return for that. And I gave my painting and we were given a chance to visit and stay for a day and a night at a resort that is Six Senses. The name of the resort is Six Senses. It is located in Balwara, Rajasthan. It was a wonderful experience there. It is a tourist attraction resort and it was amazing experience. I experienced having a spa there. I had the spa full body massage for the first time in my life and it was wonderful. Also the rooms were very big and very beautiful. The ambience of the resort was very nice and it was, I think, more than 5 star resort. Also I got the chance to meet other artists, even the senior artists. I got to learn from them. I had the dialogue with them about my practices, about their practices and if that is going on and what is going on around the world, all about contemporary art and many more stuff. Also we tried the food. The food was amazing. Even I love swimming. I am state champion of swimming and there was a big huge swimming pool and I did swimming after so long. I last did in my school time. So it was a wonderful experience overall there.
