Day 1: Arrival in Bhubaneswar & Transfer to Puri with En-route Sightseeing

As you arrive at Bhubaneswar Airport/Railway Station for your Puri-Bhubaneswar tour, you will be warmly greeted by our driver who will take you towards the sacred coastal town of Puri. It’s a 1.5-hour long journey. On the way, you will visit Dhauli Peace Pagoda, a significant Buddhist site where Emperor Ashoka is believed to have embraced Buddhism after the Kalinga War. Continue to explore the 108 Shivling Temples, a cluster of ancient shrines known for their spiritual energy and architectural significance. Next, you will go on the Lingaraj Temple tour. It is one of the oldest and most iconic temples dedicated to Lord Shiva in Odisha, renowned for its stunning Kalinga architecture.

After the enriching sightseeing, you will proceed to Puri and check into your hotel. In the evening, you can unwind with a leisurely stroll along Puri Beach and enjoy the local atmosphere. Overnight stay will be at the hotel in Puri.

Day 2: Jagannath Temple Visit & Satpada Excursion

After a hearty breakfast at the hotel, begin your day with a spiritual Jagannath Temple visit. The revered site is one of the most sacred Hindu pilgrimage destinations and part of the Char Dham Yatra. Next, visit the Gundicha Temple, another significant shrine associated with the annual Rath Yatra festival.

After your temple visits, join us on a 1.5-hour long scenic drive to Satpada, located on the southern edge of Chilika Lake–Asia’s largest brackish water lagoon. Satpada is famed for being the home of the rare and endangered Irrawaddy Dolphins, which you may spot during your tour.

At the end of a full day of exploration, we will drive you back to Puri in the evening. Again, you may spend some time relaxing to the sound of the waves or exploring local seaside shops at Puri Beach. Later, return to your hotel for a peaceful and comfortable stay.

Next, you will visit the Ramachandi Temple—an important Hindu shrine and a serene spiritual spot.

Then, you will continue to the main highlight of the day, the Konark Sun Temple Tour. Also referred to as the Black Pagoda, this 13th-century architectural marvel is a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its intricately carved stone sculptures depicting deities, dancers, animals, and scenes from daily life. Formed in the shape of a colossal chariot, the temple pays homage to the Sun God and is one of the finest examples of ancient Indian temple architecture.
