Odisha Golden Triangle Tour

Bhubaneswar — Puri — Konark

WhatsApp Us+91 7008588317

Bhubaneswar, Konark and Puri sit within ninety minutes of each other, which is exactly why they are sold together as Odisha's classic circuit rather than as three separate trips. This itinerary works because it front-loads temple architecture in Bhubaneswar, builds to the UNESCO Sun Temple at Konark, and closes on the coast at Puri — a natural progression from stone carving to pilgrimage to sea air.

Four days is enough to cover the three sites properly without the rushed, one-night-per-city pattern many operators default to. Two nights in Bhubaneswar allow the Old Town temples and the caves to be seen at a walking pace, and the Konark-to-Puri leg is scheduled for the afternoon so the sculpture reading at the Sun Temple happens in cooler morning light.

Tour highlights

  • Guided Old Town temple walk in Bhubaneswar
  • Udayagiri and Khandagiri rock-cut caves
  • Dhauli Ashokan edicts and peace pagoda
  • Konark Sun Temple with a licensed heritage guide
  • Puri Jagannath Temple and Swargadwar shoreline
  • Raghurajpur crafts village

Who this tour is for
