Puri 2 N & Bhubaneswar 2 N.
5 Days / 4 Nights – FIT Tour
Arrive at Bhubaneswar Airport and drive to Puri, pausing at Dhauligiri (Peace Pagoda)—where Emperor Ashoka embraced Buddhism—and the vibrant Pipili village famed for appliqué craft. Check in at Puri and freshen up. By late afternoon, seek blessings at the 12th-century Shri Jagannath Temple (Hindus only) and learn its sacred traditions. As the sun dips, unwind at Golden Beach, watching surfers and fishing boats silhouette the horizon. Evening free for khaja sweets and temple-side bazaars before returning to the hotel for dinner and overnight.
Post breakfast, drive to Satapada on Chilika Lake, Asia’s largest brackish lagoon. Board a regulated boat to spot playful Irrawaddy dolphins, glide to the Sea Mouth where lake meets the Bay of Bengal, and pause at quiet bird and sandbar islets. In winter, migratory flocks paint the sky; year-round, the lake’s pastel palette soothes. Return to Puri by evening, with time for handloom shopping (Bomkai, Ikat) and seaside snacks. Optional: witness the temple’s flag-change ritual from outside the complex. Dinner and overnight in Puri.
After breakfast, check out and drive the scenic marine drive to the 13th-century Konark Sun Temple, a chariot of stone adorned with celestial sculptures—an Indian Seven Wonders icon and UNESCO site. Continue to Bhubaneswar for the towering Lingaraj Temple (11th century; dress modestly; non-Hindus view from outside platform), and the rock-cut Khandagiri–Udayagiri Caves with Jain heritage and inscriptions. Wrap up at Kalabhoomi Craft Museum (closed Monday) to see Odisha’s textiles, terracotta, and dokra come alive. Check in, free time for Ekamra Haat, dinner, and overnight in Bhubaneswar.
Begin with Nandankanan Zoological Park (closed Monday), home to white tigers, a lion safari, and rich aviaries. Continue to Cuttack to visit Dhabaleswar Temple, crossing Odisha’s first hanging footbridge to the river island shrine—carry light footwear and keep hands free. Nearby green pockets attract peafowl; keep respectful distance and no feeding. Return to Bhubaneswar by evening for café time or temple lamps at Ram Mandir. Dinner and overnight overnight in Bhubaneswar..
After breakfast, check out and visit Ram Mandir and ISKCON for tranquil morning aartis. Browse Ekamra Haat for appliqué, silver filigree, and palm-leaf etchings; pick up packaged Chhena Poda to take home. Depending on flight timing, add a quick old-town stroll or museum stop. Transfer to Bhubaneswar Airport for onward travel, carrying Odisha’s craft colors, temple bells, and lagoon blues.

A well-rounded Odisha sampler where sacred rituals, sea-lagoon ecology, and world-class stone art meet—crafted for families and culture lovers seeking depth without long hauls.
Entry is restricted to Hindus only. Non-Hindu visitors can explore the surroundings and view the temple’s spires from nearby Raghunandan Library rooftop or elevated points, and experience evening rituals from outside while learning the temple’s rich traditions.
Peak sightings occur Nov–Feb, when waters are calm and migratory birds abound. Typical Satapada circuits last 1.5–2.5 hours depending on route (Sea Mouth/bird isles). Always use authorized boats, wear lifejackets, and maintain a respectful viewing distance.
Nandankanan and Kalabhoomi close on Mondays. If your Day 3/4 falls on a Monday, we swap in Odisha State Museum, Ekamra old-town temple walk, or Mukteswar–Rajarani complex, keeping the day engaging without extra drive time.
Look for Pipili appliqué, Pattachitra (Raghurajpur), silver filigree (Cuttack tarakasi), handlooms (Bomkai, Ikat), and stone carvings. For curated picks, visit Ekamra Haat in Bhubaneswar and government emporia near Puri Beach/Master Canteen. Always ask for artisan or GI tags where available.
