After freshening up at the hotel, begin your day with a visit to the iconic Shri Jagannath Temple, one of the most revered pilgrimage sites in India and an essential part of the Char Dham Yatra. This architectural marvel was initially commissioned by Kalinga ruler Anantavarman Chodaganga in the 11th century, with major construction completed by King Ananga Bhima Deva in 1174 CE. The temple, though primarily dedicated to Lord Jagannath, also houses deities of Balabhadra and Subhadra.

Later, proceed to Satapada, located on the southern edge of Chilika Lake—Asia's largest brackish water lagoon, spanning over 1,100 sq. km. Enjoy a motorboat ride (available at additional cost) to explore the serene waters and spot the rare and playful Irrawaddy Dolphins near the lake’s confluence with the Bay of Bengal.

Return to Puri in the evening.

After a delightful breakfast, set out on a scenic drive to Konark along the stunning Marine Drive, dotted with pristine beaches and lush casuarina forests. En route, stop to admire the peaceful Ramachandi Temple and the tranquil sands of Chandrabhaga Beach, an ideal spot for a serene coastal experience.

Continue onward to the Konark Sun Temple, a 13th-century architectural masterpiece built by King Langula Narasimhadeva I of the Eastern Ganga dynasty. Designed as a colossal chariot dedicated to the Sun God (Surya), the temple is renowned for its intricate carvings, stunning structure, and symbolic representation of time. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Konark stands as a testament to India's glorious artistic heritage. The name itself is derived from ‘Kona’ (corner) and ‘Arka’ (sun), meaning “Sun of the Corner.”

The great poet Rabindranath Tagore once said of Konark: “Here the language of stone surpasses the language of man.”

Later, drive back to Puri. In the evening, enjoy leisure time at the beach, explore the local beach markets, or simply relax by the sea.

After breakfast, check out from the hotel and set off to explore some of the region's cultural gems.

Begin with a visit to the Gundicha Temple, famously known as the temporary abode of Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra during the Rath Yatra festival. The deities reside here for nine days before returning to the main temple during Bahuda Yatra.

Next, travel to Raghurajpur, an enchanting artisan’s village located just 12 km from Puri. This heritage crafts village is home to master Pattachitra painters, where almost every household is involved in creating traditional artwork on canvas, tussar silk, and palm leaves. It’s a living museum of Odisha’s rich artistic legacy.

Continue your journey to Sakhigopal (Satyabadi), renowned for its beautiful temple dedicated to Lord Krishna, where stories of devotion and legend come alive.

After the sightseeing tour, you will be dropped at Bhubaneswar Airport or Railway Station for your onward journey with wonderful memories of Odisha.
