Puri 4-Day Tour Package Itinerary
This is the day-by-day plan of the tour.
Day 1: Bhubaneswar to Puri via Pipili
Your Puri 4-day tour package begins when we meet you at Bhubaneswar airport or station. Drive about an hour and a half to Puri, stopping at Pipili, a village known for its colourful appliqué lanterns, umbrellas and wall hangings. Check in to your hotel and spend the evening on Puri beach and in the beach market.
Overnight: hotel, Puri. Read our Odisha travel guide.
Day 2: Chilika Lake Day Trip
Day 2 of the Puri 4-day tour package is a day trip to Chilika, Asia’s largest brackish water lagoon. From Barkul, take a boat to Kalijai island and its small temple and to the bird islands; from November to February, thousands of migratory birds winter on the lake. Return to Puri in the evening.
Shamrock travel tip: to see Irrawaddy dolphins, ask us to take you to Satapada instead of Barkul. It is closer to Puri, and calm mornings are best. For more advice, read our Shamrock India Travel Tips.
Meals: breakfast. Overnight: hotel, Puri
Day 3: Jagannath Temple and Konark Sun Temple
Day 3 of the Puri 4-day tour package starts at the 12th-century Jagannath Temple, one of the Char Dham of Hindu pilgrimage. Only Hindus may enter; other guests can see it from the Grand Road outside. Then drive about an hour along the coast to Konark to see the 13th-century Sun Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, built as the chariot of the Sun God with 24 carved stone wheels. Visit the site museum and Chandrabhaga beach, then return to Puri.
Shamrock travel tip: leave phones, cameras and leather items in the car at the Jagannath Temple, as they are not allowed inside. See our Shamrock India Travel Tips.
