People chiefly visit Shirdi to visit the shrine of the reverent Sai Baba! But a little bit of sightseeing does not do any harm especially after people have traveled miles to get into this Maharashtrian town. Shirdi and Shirdi hotels, despite being crowded, offer a picture of immense serenity and tranquility. As a tourist, you can visit the Samadhi Mandir, the topmost attraction of the town. Herein, you can get to know more about the works and teachings of Baba.

Then there is the Lendi Baugh which is another delightful sightseeing spot. Shopping may not be the town’s high point but you can always buy the essentials and look for devotional songs (bhajans), souvenirs and effigies of Baba. There are some alluring caves not very far away from the town. Besides, Nasik lies just 75 km away. You can reach there in a little over an hour and spend some happy hours with sightseeing and eating.

At Shirdi, you can attend the festivals, take part in seminars and eat at the local restaurants or Shirdi hotels.

Puri, with its golden beach, charming temples and hospitable Puri hotels, doesn’t disappoint. This Orissa town is infested with temples including the famed and must-visit Jagannath Puri temple. Other popular temples include Loknath, Daria Mahabir, Tota Gopinath and Gundicha. The golden & sunny Swargadwar beach is the epitome of a conventional beach which offers you plenty of sand and the ecstasies of coconut juice, beach massage and boat rides. The Puri hotels (many of them are situated just beside the beach) also do not disappoint in hospitality and in offering 24/7 services.
