Enchanting Lake Como (Italy) and Lake Lugano (Switzerland)

Offering impossibly picturesque backdrops, Lake Como (Italy) is currently one of the top holiday destinations in Europe, and rightly so too. Leave the hustle and bustle of the Fashion Capital Milan by AC coach (Bus) to spend a whole day by the water of lake Como, situated in the middle of Italian Alps. Lake Como is a luxury wedding and holiday destination. With its picturesque Victorian gardens, stunning Italian Villas, million dollar views of the lake and snow capped mountains, the lake is worth a visit. 2 hour cruise along the Lake Come is a must do to admire the breathtaking landscape from the water. Bellagio also known as the Pearl of Lake Como is a small village for relaxing, explore the lanes and taste the local food. Placed like a sentinel in the mid section of Lake Como, Varenna with awe-inspiring scenery is an excellent option to explore hiking and mountain bike trails of the Esino valley. For an excursion from Como, Lake Lugano in Switzerland is a recommended place. The Swiss Alps surroundings are ideal for trekking, mountain biking, horse riding, sailing and golfing.

A short trip to Gopalpur and Rambha

Image
We some friends from Kharagpur visited Gopalpur, on sea and Rambla in January 2017. We want to spend a couple of days relaxing in nature. We traveled by train from Kharagpur to Brahmapur, Odisha and from there we took an autorickshaw to reach Gopalpur. Our accomodation was previously booked at OTDC, Panthanivas Gopalpur. The facilities served is very good and the food is also tasty.  Beach is only 5 to 10 minutes walking distance from Panthnivas. Gopalpur sea beach is one of the best beaches in the eastern coastline. The remoteness, peace, offbeat crowd, sparkling gold sand, azure water of the bay of Bengal, the delicious sea foods provide a perfect place to immerse yourself in nature. From Gopalpur, we went to Rambha, an offbeat destination on Chilka lake. The only accommodation there is the Rambha OTDC Panthanivas. The Chilka lake is just in front of the cottage and the view is stunning but one thing to inform is that this Panthnivas is very ill-maintained. It should be mainta
