Plan Your India Tour Through Odisha’s Temples, Artisans and Chilika

Day 1Bhubaneswar Temples, Tribal Heritage and Crafts

Arrive in Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha, and transfer to your hotel. Later, explore some of the city’s finest Kalinga-style temples, including Mukteshwar Temple and Rajarani Temple.
 
Visit Lingaraj Temple from the outside, since entry to the inner temple complex is restricted to Hindu visitors. Its towering spire and richly carved exterior remain an impressive sight.
 
Continue to the Odisha State Tribal Museum and a local handicrafts centre to discover the state’s diverse tribal traditions, textiles and artistic heritage.

Day 2Khandagiri and Udayagiri Caves

Today, visit the twin hills of Khandagiri and Udayagiri, home to a remarkable group of rock-cut caves dating back to the 2nd century BCE.
 
Originally used by Jain monks, the caves feature inscriptions, carvings and small chambers that reveal an important chapter of Odisha’s early history. The hilltop setting also offers wide views across Bhubaneswar.

Day 3Drive to Puri via Dhauli, Pipili and Raghurajpur

Drive from Bhubaneswar to Puri, stopping first at Dhauli Shanti Stupa. This peaceful hilltop site is associated with Emperor Ashoka’s change of heart after the Kalinga War.
 
Continue to Pipili, known for its colourful appliqué craft, and Raghurajpur Artist Village, where local families practise traditional art forms such as Pattachitra painting and palm-leaf engraving.
 
Arrive in Puri by late afternoon and check in to your hotel. Spend the evening at Puri Beach, with time to relax beside the Bay of Bengal.

Day 4Konark Sun Temple and Chandrabhaga Beach

Begin with a visit to Chhaitana, a village known for its skilled stone-carving artisans. Meet local craftspeople and see how Odisha’s traditional carving techniques continue to be practised.
 
Continue to the Konark Sun Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of India’s greatest medieval monuments. Designed as the chariot of the Sun God, its sculpted wheels, horses and walls reveal extraordinary artistry.
 
Later, visit Chandrabhaga Beach, where the open shoreline and evening light offer a peaceful close to the day.

Day 5Chilika Lake Day Trip

Take a full-day excursion to Chilika Lake, Asia’s largest brackish-water lagoon. This vast wetland is a welcome change of pace from the region’s temples and heritage sites.
 
Enjoy a boat ride around Satapada, with opportunities to observe the lake’s varied birdlife and waterside scenery. During the migratory season, large numbers of birds gather here, and Irrawaddy dolphins are sometimes seen in the channel near the sea.

Day 6Return to Bhubaneswar and Departure

After breakfast, drive from Puri to Bhubaneswar for your onward flight.
 
If time permits, stop at a local market to browse Odisha’s handicrafts and souvenirs before transferring to Bhubaneswar Airport.
