Living in Gorakhpur, is like living in any other town in India. It is one of the best places to live in Northern India, if you are government employee. The city is developing at a good pace though some areas are underdeveloped, roads are not sufficient to facilitate traffic flow, resulting in more traffic-jam, especially near Golghar market area. There is SRS Mall for shopping and fun purposes, Gol Ghar market has been a reputed place for all materials from household to clothes and others. Special mention if you are a non-vegetarian and in dire need to eat chicken, go to Sardar’s shop in Golghar market area, you will find a delicious appetite. Do visit for once at the Gorakhnath Temple and Buddha Nagar, these are some pretty good places. If you happen to be a family person with kids, ICSE schools are more reputed here than CBSE, prefer likewise.
