The Pride of Odisha takes you on an unforgettable journey through two of the state's most captivating destinations - Puri and Bhubaneswar - offering a rich blend of spirituality, heritage, wildlife and natural beauty.
Your journey begins in Puri with a visit to the magnificent Shree Jagannath Temple, built in the 15th century and crowned with Lord Vishnu's wheel and flag. The temple's spiritual energy sets the tone for an enriching holiday ahead.
The next day brings a memorable excursion to Chilika Lake, Asia's largest brackish water lagoon. At Satpada, spot playful Irrawaddy Dolphins and witness the stunning point where the lake meets the Bay of Bengal.
As you transfer to Bhubaneswar, the journey continues with stops at the golden Chandrabhaga Sea Beach, the UNESCO World Heritage Konark Sun Temple with its intricate stone carvings, the colourful applique village of Pipili, and the historic Dhauli hill, known for its Ashokan rock edicts and peace pagoda.
In Bhubaneswar, the Temple City of India, explore the ancient Lingaraj Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, one of the oldest and most revered temples in the region. Step back in time at the Udaigiri and Khandagiri Jain Caves dating back to the 2nd century BC, and spend time at Nandankanan, home to a botanical garden and a wildlife sanctuary famous for its white tigers. End your Bhubaneswar experience with some local shopping for handicrafts at Ekamra Haat.
Combining ancient temples, coastal beauty, wildlife encounters and rich culture, The Pride of Odisha is the perfect way to experience the true essence of the state.
