Day 1 – Bhubaneswar: The Temple City
Begin your journey in Bhubaneswar, often called the “Temple City of India.” Start with the historic Udayagiri and Khandagiri Caves, carved with stories from ancient times. Visit the majestic Lingaraja Temple, one of Odisha’s architectural marvels, and soak in its spiritual aura. Later, head to the peaceful Dhauli Hills, where Emperor Ashoka embraced Buddhism.

By evening, travel onward to Puri, your gateway to coastal culture and devotion.

Day 3 – Puri & Konark: Culture, Coast, and Crafts
Begin with a soulful visit to the sacred Jagannath Temple, one of India’s Char Dham pilgrimage sites. Then, make your way to the UNESCO World Heritage site—the Konark Sun Temple, known for its chariot-shaped architecture and intricate carvings. Between sightseeing, explore Puri’s food and culture, savoring local delicacies and visiting the Odisha Handicrafts Museum, where traditional art and craft come alive.
