Itinerary
Upon arrival at Bhubaneswar airport or railway station, an Alkof Holidays representative will greet you and transfer you to Puri. Check in at your hotel, then relax before visiting the Konark Sun Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its stunning 13th-century architecture, attributed to King Narasimhadeva I of the Eastern Ganga Dynasty. The temple, designed as a grand chariot of the Sun God, is a masterpiece of Kalinga architecture. Also visit the A.S.I. Museum to learn more about the region’s past, and take a leisurely stroll along Chandrabhaga Beach. Return to the hotel in Puri for an overnight stay.
After breakfast at the hotel, head to Chilika Lake, the second-largest lagoon in the world and a prime location for spotting Irrawaddy dolphins. Enjoy a scenic boat ride to Rajhans Island, a stunning island at the confluence of Chilika Lake and the Bay of Bengal. The island, surrounded by lush forests and mountains, features a pristine sandy beach and serves as a sanctuary for diverse wildlife, including birds, dolphins, crabs and other marine life. Relax on the beach, partake in activities such as a cruise or dolphin watching, or simply enjoy the natural beauty. In the evening, our representative will transfer you back to your hotel in Puri for an overnight stay.
After breakfast at the hotel, depart for Bhubaneswar. En route, visit the Shree Jagannath Temple, an important Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Jagannath, a form of Lord Vishnu. Originally constructed by King Indradyumna and later rebuilt in the 10th century by King Anantavarman Chodaganga Deva of the Eastern Ganga dynasty, the temple is renowned for its grand annual Ratha Yatra, where the deities are paraded on elaborate chariots.
After visiting the Shree Jagannath Temple, proceed to explore the Kahandagiri and Udaigiri Jain Caves. These ancient rock-cut caves are among the oldest in the region, holding significant archaeological, historical, and religious importance. They offer a glimpse into the influence of Buddhism and Jainism in Orissa. Next, visit the Lingraj Temple, renowned for its grand architecture and spiritual significance. Continue to the Raja Rani Temple, known for its intricate carvings and artistic beauty, and then explore the Mukteswar Temple, often referred to as the “Gem of Orissan Architecture” due to its intricate designs and serene ambiance. Overnight stay at the hotel in Bhubaneswar.
