01 — The trip
Temples at dawn, dolphins by noon, sunsets on Puri beach
Your trip captain meets the group in Bhubaneswar and drives straight to a beach resort in Puri. Day one is the Jagannath Temple, Gundicha, the sacred tanks and Swargadwar beach at dusk. Day two heads south to Alarnath and Satapada, where boats cross Chilika Lake looking for Irrawaddy dolphins. Day three is the big loop: Konark’s Sun Temple, Chandrabhaga, Pipli’s appliqué lanes, Lingaraj and the Dhauli peace pagoda. Day four winds down via Sakhigopal and Nandankanan before the drop.
Three cool-season batches that skip the festival crowds, and every night at the same beach resort, so you unpack once and travel light.
