Really the team provided 100% satisfaction guarantee, strictly adhering to the plan approved especially the food and accommodation arrangements, the prompt pickup and travel. The language problem doesn't hinder the spirit of our journey. We have no hesitation to recommend Mypuritour for those who wishes to visit Puri. To add the charges for the tour plan are only reasonable.Once again hats off to Mr. Avinash and co for making good arrangements and taking personal care for our visit . One suggestion is that the drivers maybe advised to interact a little more with the tourists by giving a brief summary of the touring sites in advance

Sudhir Olakkal

Ours was a 4 days Bhubaneswar-Puri trip. We were taken care from the moment we landed at Bhubaneswar. The whole trip was perfectly planned by Mr. Avinash. The arrangements inside the Lord Jagannath Temple was highly appreciable. Accommodation with sea-view rooms and humble drivers with clean car added more joy to our trip. Thanks to Mypuri team.

Complete Puri Tour Guide (All You Must Know)

Puri is a popular city of Odisha state, famous for Sri Jagannath temple, and also as a beach destination of India. This is one of the most religious cities in the country and attracts a lot of crowd throughout the year. For a budget destination, puri is a good choice within all neighboring states. It has everything like lots of temples, some historical structures, beaches, Zoological gardens, lakes and many more.

I have been to Puri multiple times and gathered some information that may help you in your next trip.

Where to stay in Puri?

Accommodations in Puri is very affordable than most of the other cities in India. You will get your stay in almost any budget. Panthaniwas by OTDC, Puri Hotel, Victoria Club, Park resort are few of them known for good luxury and impressive sea view, whereas Hotel Sambit, Hotel Dolphin will be on a budget side with sea-facing rooms. There are other options like holiday homes and Bharat Sevashram. Holiday homes can be booked from different government organization’s employee recreation clubs.

I stayed at Netai Kunj a few years back, I must say the rooms were more luxurious than of Puri Hotel and the price was one-third. The only downside, it was 5 minutes’ walk to the seashore. We are in a process to collect enough Holiday Homes listed on our Recommended Hotel Details.

Sri Jagannath Temple

This is an important Hindu temple, dedicated to Sri Jagannath, a form of Lord Vishnu. A famous festival Ratha Yatra, every year took place here, where three gods (Jagannath, Balaram, and Subhadra) are pulled on Rath (decorated temple car), millions of people participate in the event. Unlike another god, these gods are made of wood and get replaced every twelve years with an exact replica. Other than the Hindu religion, no one is allowed inside the temple. But a small replica is built for those who cannot enter.

• Puja Timing: 6 AM to 1 PM and 4 PM to 9 PM.
• Bhog Timing: 12:30 PM and 8:30 PM.
• Flag down ceremony during Sunset.

The temple houses its own market to provide daily needs, wells to provide water, and the bhog (prasadam) preparation process is also different than any other temples. In a magical way, clay pots are placed in a special earthen oven, seven in numbers, one on top of another. Yet the one on the top is cooked first. This kitchen considered to be the world’s largest and biggest Kitchen. More than 5000 people get Bhog every day and in the festive season, the amounts get multiply many times.

There are a lot of believes exist,

• You cannot hear sea roar from the very first step in the temple.
• Nothing flies over the temple
• Temple flag waves in the opposite direction of the wind. This flag gets replaced every day by a single boy (priest).
• You cannot see the shadow of the temple.
• The Chakra on top of the temple can be seen from any part of the city and always felt to face your side.

Konark Temple

Konark Sun Temple is famous for its architecture and history, located near Chandrabhaga Beach, approximately 35 KM from Puri. Although this temple was built to worship Surya god, due to the death of lead labor (who lead the other labor to built the temple) in this holy land even before the god established, worship never took place (as per local guide). Lots of men and women structure in the wall of the temple tells the story of that time. The Chakra works as a sundial and accurately tells time and other Chakras denotes the different phase of Life.

The temple was built in the shape of a temple car (Rath) and completely made of stones & metals (only in few joints). Locals say, there was a huge magnet on top of the temple which attracts other ships. The magnet got stolen by foreign bandits. Architect people will love this place and how the structure made is itself research. Archaeological Survey of India maintains this temple also UNESCO declared this as a world’s heritage site.

• Entry Fees: INR 40.
• Timing: 6 AM to 8 PM.

Dhaulagiri (Shanti Stupa)

This place symbolizes peace, even the name Shanti refers to peace. The main worship of god is Buddha here. It is located on an elevated hill, hence view from this place looks awesome.

• Entry Fees: Free.
• Timing:  6 AM to 6 PM.

There are lot more temples in Puri, even Sri Jagannath’s Masir Bari, Pisir Bari (Aunt’s House), Sri Gour Bihara, Lingaraj Temple, etc. You will needs at least two days to visit each popular temple in Puri.

Khandagiri and Udayagiri Caves

Udayagiri and Khandagiri are two adjacent hills, houses multiple caves, 18 and 15 respectively. Local says that Jain Sadhus used to live in these caves. Some believe these caves are partially made by human beings. In Udaya Giri, caves are pretty evident but in Khanda Giri those are rare. If you reach on top of both the places, the view will be great. Beware of monkeys, they run before foods especially peanuts and banana.

• Entry Fees: INR 15.
• Timing: 8 AM to 5 PM.

Chilka Lake

This is the largest coastal brackish water lagoon in India & Second in the World. Chilika lake spread over 1100 sq. kilometers. It hosts some rare species of birds, fauna and sea habitats. There are multiple entries points to the lake like Satapada, Rambha, Barkul, all have their own beauties. Who loves to explore more, can visit the islands. Mangalajodi is a place near Chilika is famous for bird lovers. Although out of all these places, a tourist coming from Puri in general enter from Satapada and take few hour-long boat ride to few islands and dolphin point. I had noticed a significant change in dolphin count a few years back.

• Entry Fees: Approx INR 200.
• Timing: 7:30 AM to 5 PM.
• Best Time to visit: 8 AM to 12 PM.
• Duration: Approx 2 to 3 hours.

Pro tips: Please don’t forget to capture beautiful animals and be disciplined with animals.

Raghurajpur, Pipli Village

This two village is popular for the artistic handicraft items, locals make. If you like anything to purchase from them as a gesture of kindness.

Fooding options in Puri

Food is something that should never be compromised on a trip. In Puri & Bhubaneswar, you will find good Chinese, Mughlai & Bengali foods. Although there are many good restaurants like Bhojohori Manna, Tandoori Bites, Made in China, etc to go for. But if you are on a tight budget try puri-sabji in breakfast and Bengali meal from local shops, they cost very less. In case you want to cook your own food, you have that provision too if you are staying at holiday homes.

Transportation for Local Sightseeing

Nearest railway station Puri will be in a 5-kilometer range from the furthest hotels and Biju Patnaik Airport is approx 50 kilometers away.

You have plenty of options for transit, Auto, cab, buses, etc. If you are alone or two, try OTDC bus day-tour which is budget-friendly and cover almost everything on the route. In case you are in a group of 4-8 people try cab rental but always remember to list all the spots you want to visit and finalize the rate.

Pro-tip, you can book an all-day-long tour at once to get a discount and finally do a bargain. Whatever you chose for day-long tours bus or cab, for half a day tour or temple visits book an auto to save some extra bucks.

Famous Things to buy in Puri

Orisha is famous for Sambalpuri & Kotki sarees, sticks, mats, Khaja, etc. There are many shops near the Swargodwar, do remember to check products thoroughly before purchase and bargaining is up to you. You may also visit government handicraft stalls to get something exclusive. If you love handicraft items, do visit artistic villages Pipli & Raghurajpur. Don’t forget to buy a small thing as a memento at least which will definitely help to rejoice old memories later on.

Suggested Itinerary (Cab/Auto):

• Day 1: Reach Puri in the morning, sea bath. Then visit local temples (preferably by Auto) except Jagannath Temple.
• Day 2: Visit the Sri Jagannath Temple early morning and later Chilka Lake.
• Day 3: Day-long tour (Dhaulagiri (Shanti Stupa)), Lingaraj Temple, Khandagiri, Udaygiri, Nandankanan and finally Konark Temple.
• Day 4: Visit Pipli & Raghurajpur village. Later local shopping.

Note: You can merge Day 4 with Day 3 in case you have less time in hand. But it will be a hectic day for sure. The above itinerary is not for Bus, cause they have their own package. Check below for more details.

Experience the holy city of Puri

Being a highly favoured destination of tourists, there are many reasons why you should visit Puri:

Jagannath Mandir

Jagannath Mandir is dedicated to Jagannath, an incarnation of Vishnu. Constructed in 1198, a total of two walls surround the temple. On visiting the temple, you see a 58 m-high flag-hugged sikhara with the wheel of Vishnu on its top. Jagannath Mandir is undoubtedly one of the top tourist places in Puri that should be on your list. Moreover, a Puri holiday package lets you opt for a Jagannath Mandir tour as well during your trip to Puri.

The Puri Beach with its splashing waves on the golden sands provides the right amount of rejuvenation. You get to experience water sports on the sunlight-tinted waves, and can easily go for a quick swim or a calming stroll at the beach.

After you have soaked up the sun, you can go on a 30 km drive to the Chandrabhaga Beach or the Konark Beach which once spread up till the Konark temple but now has slowly moved away. After you laze around at the beach, you can then head to the famous Sun temple which symbolizes the heritage of India. Dedicated to the Sun God, the temple showcases immense artistic magnificence. On visiting the temple you see three images of the Sun god positioned in a way that it receives sun rays at all three times - morning, noon, and evening.

Narendra Tank

The locals take a dip in the Narendra Tank on a daily basis. Being the largest holy tank in Puri, the tank has a tiny temple that you can go to by crossing a narrow footbridge. At the time of the Chandan Yatra festival, Jagannath’s replica deity is given a ritual bath here in the tank every year.

Markandeya Tank

A place where Lord Vishnu was once said to be present in the form of a ‘neem tree’, the Markandeya Tank is one of the most popular tourist places in Puri. It is a bathing place for locals and is a great place to explore given the amount of interest it draws.

Model Beach

Offering a 700m stretch of land, the Model Beach is part of an initiative for beach tourism. The stretch of land is clean and fine, offering a picture-perfect ‘let’s go to the beach’ vibe. You can relax by the beach under the palm umbrellas or get sun-kissed in the sun and take home a beautiful tan.

Things to do in Puri

Your trip to Puri is incomplete if you do not witness the Rath Yatra. The sight alone is exhilarating when you see gigantic wooden chariots carrying Lord Jagannath, sister Subhadra, and brother Balbhadra being pulled from Jagannath Mandir to Gundicha Mandir. With thousands of people at that very spot, the glimpse of the massive chariots is a view that is hard to miss.

Puri Beach Festival

Make sure you tailor your Puri trip around the time the Puri Beach Festival takes place. Here you get to see some striking installations by sand artists right by the beach. The festival is a concoction of food, song, dance, and cultural activities offering you a unique type of indulgence.

Do not forget to have ‘Chhena Poda’, a delectable delicacy of Odisha during your stay in Puri. Apart from this, you can try out seafood and local thalis. If the Puri trip package you’ve booked online lets you experience the local sights, then make sure you enjoy some lip-smacking delicacies during your tour around the city.

Best time to visit Puri

Though the city can be visited throughout the year, July to March is the ideal time to visit Puri. As the summers are very hot in Puri, and the monsoons are characterized by thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, people prefer visiting Puri in winters. The ideal way to visit Puri is to go for sightseeing tour packages that make it very easy to tour the city. By analyzing your budget requirements and preferences, you can go through the cost or price of Puri sightseeing tour packages at Veena World and book a package accordingly.

Everything You Need to Know about Puri - A Holy City in Odisha, India

Puri, a holy city in Odisha, is well known as the ‘Land of Lord Jagannath’ or ‘Jagannath Dham’ because this city boast of having the famous temple of Lord Jagannath. It is one of the most significant pilgrimage sites for Hindus as it's one of the Char Dhams, the four important pilgrimage spots for Hindus(For those who don’t know, other three Dhams are Badrinath, Dwaraka, and Rameswaram). Apart from religious aspects, the lovely beaches, bustling market, and easy access have made this place one of the most favourite tourist spots for Bengalis as well. Nevertheless, I had never got the opportunity to travel Puri until 2013 when I went there for the first time on a short trip. After that, I have been there once more in 2018.

Things you can see or do in and around Puri :

Temple of Lord Jagannath

The ancient temple of Sri Lord Jagganath is the main attraction in Puri. Thousands of devotees thronged the temples daily to offer prayers and take divine blessings. Although non -Hindus are not allowed inside the temple.

Bags, mobile and electric gadgets are not allowed inside the temple. There are a baggage counter and shoes stand outside the temple where you can deposit these for a nominal fee.

To visit the temple, you have to take the help of Priests (Known as Panda) whom you can find in plenty at the main entrance of the temple. The Pandas dress in traditional Dhoti-Gamcha, so you can easily distinguish them. You can ask your hotel too as every hotel in Puri has a Panda associated with it. We have a familiar Panda - Jitendra Gochhikar (C0ntact No. 9861468784). Whenever we are in Puri, we call him and fix the time to visit the temple. He meet at the entrance and help us in every way. He is a nice person and never charge excessive amount.

The devotees mainly enter the temple through the main entrance which is known as Singhdwara or the Lion Gate after washing their feet in the flowing water. There is a magnificent monolithic pillar stands in front of the Singhdwara known as Arun Stambha.

The inner sanctum sanctorum houses the idol of Jagganath, Balabhadra and Subhadra. When I visited the temple first time, I could get a close view of the idols, touch them and circled around them. But, next time, we saw the idols from a distance and we got to know that the darshan is restricted from a distance only even in the morning.

You can take a guided tour of the entire temple premises with the Panda. The magnificent architecture of the main temple is quite fascinating. The courtyard is filled with numerous small temples. Besides main entrance, the temple has another three huge gates represented by three different animals.

The temple houses one of the largest kitchen in the world that prepared 56 variations of Bhog every day by hundreds of cooks. Earthen pots are used to cook it. 7 pots are placed one on top of another and interestingly the topmost pot gets cooked first and followed by the bottom pot. The Bhog then offer to Lord Jagannath and then it is called 'Mahaprasad' which is distributed among the devotees although it has to be booked in advance.

Flag changing ceremony is another interesting thing to witness. Every afternoon, two priests climb up the temple which is as tall as 45 storey buildings, without any help. They climb up swiftly while carrying the flags around their waste. After changing the holy flags, they bring back the previous day’s flag and it is distributed among the devotees in pieces on a payment basis.

Rathyatra or Chariot Festival or Car festival of this temple is one of the most world-renowned festivals that celebrates annually in June- July. This festival attracts millions visitors across the country and the world as well. It commemorates the Jagannath’s annual visit to Gundicha Temple which is known as the birthplace of the Lord. The three main idols were placed on beautifully decorated chariots and drawn by thousand of devotees.

The impressive coastline along the Bay of Bengal is the second most attraction in Puri. The pristine beaches of this city, known as 'Golden Beaches' is considered to be one of the best beaches in the county. Swargadwar is the most visited among all the beaches. Thousands of tourists flock there every day as this beach offers some of the mesmerizing beach experiences and incredible ocean views.

Sunrise and sunset

The Puri beach is one of those beaches that offers both awe-inspiring sunrise and stunning sunset. Thousands of tourists thronged in the early morning to capture the rising of the sun from the Bay of Bengal by creating a kaleidoscope of colours in the sky and the dipping of the sun into the Bay of Bengal by painting the sky once again with a myriad of colours in the afternoon.

The beach is filled with plenty of small stalls selling tea, green coconut water and they arranged chairs for the tourist to sit for a nominal price. So, sitting there, you can witness the gorgeous sunrise or sunset or simply relax staring the vast blue stretch of water and rolling gigantic waves with tea and biscuits.

Morning fishing

After watching a magnificent sunrise, if you take a stroll at nearby beaches, you can see fishermen coming from their early morning catch toeing their colourful fishing boat in the beach and sorting a wide variety of fresh sea fish, crabs from fishing net whereas tourists and local people clamor to buy this fresh catch.

Others fun activities

This beach is one of the excellent beaches for sea bath. Thousands of tourists flock to the beach for having a bath all day. If you are traveling with a kid, this beach never let you disappoint. Beautifully decorated Horses and Camels are easily available for the tourists to ride on. People selling multi-colored balloons and cotton candy balls and other delicacies are a very common sight in this beach. The first time when I was on the beach, most of the time I spent haunting seashells and strolling at the beach dipping the feet in ankle-deep water. A lot of seashells come on the shore with every incoming wave and wash away with the outgoing one is also a fun to see. You can also satiate your test buds in the evening in anyone of the makeshift stalls on the beach selling a wide variety of fried sea fish including prawns and crabs.

Seashells and conch product

The beach is dotted with numerous small vendors selling a variety of artifacts out of seashells, oysters, and various kinds of beautiful conch, decorative showpieces. These stalls are a feast to eyes. You can hop around and buy products.

Take a stroll in the sprawling market

Puri is brimming with shops and stalls. From beautifully woven silk sarees to local handmade handicrafts, the traditional as well as contemporary, everything you will get here. From exquisite Bomkai, sambalpuri, ikkat to handicrafts items like silver filigree, horn work, patachitra, coir product, appliques, stone, wooden carvings and, of course, seashell products are found in plenty in Govt. emporium (Utkalika Odisha State Emporium) as well as local markets. Last but not the least, don't forget to buy Khaja- one of the most famous sweet delicacies of Puri.

Take a look at the crematorium

Puri has its only crematorium near the bustling market by the main road at Swargadwar. The corpses are cremated in an open area here. Swargadwar means the gateway to heaven and this crematorium is considered as one of the most sacred crematorium for Hindus and is believed that people cremated here get easy access to heaven and relieved from the cycle of birth and rebirth and attains moksha (Salvation). Hence people from far-off places come here with their dead with the hope that their loved ones get a place in heaven. You can always find one or two pyres burning whenever you go through this road or roam around the market.

Make a day trip to the 'City of Temple' Bhubaneswar

You can also make your way to visit the capital city Bhubaneswar popularly known as ' temple city of India' as the city is dotted with hundreds of ancient temples.

If you are traveling solo or couple, then OTDC (Odisha Tourist Development Corporation) is the best option for you as it’s cost-effective. But if you are in a small group, then private transport will be a better option. I was travelling solo, so I went with OTDC.

If you book with OTDC, then the tour starts from OTDC Pantha Niwas in a Volvo bus at sharp 7 in the morning and covered the following places –

Chandrabhaga Sea Beach

Chandravaga Golden Beach- First we dropped at Chandrabhaga beach. It’s 30 km away from Puri. The International Sand Art Festival, a remarkable cultural program held by Odisha Tourism Development was going on during this time. So we were lucky to witness some beautiful sand art in this secluded beach. The bathing is strictly prohibited on this beach because of the high current of the sea.

Sand art at Chandrabhaga beach

Konark Sun Temple

It’s 3 km from the Chandrabhaga beach. Konark temple is a UNESCO World Heritage site and most exquisite Sun Temple of India. This temple is known for its impressive architecture as it is designed as a gigantic chariot with many chariot wheels, dedicated to the Sun God.

Konark TEmple

Chariot wheel

Siddheswar temple is also one of the century-old temples of Bhubaneswar. A few walks away within the same premises, located another beautiful temple - Mukteswar temple.

Udaygiri and Khandagiri Caves

Udaygiri and Khandagiri formerly known as Cuttack caves. These caves are nestled in two Hill's. Udayagiri means "Sunrise Hill" and has 18 caves while Khandagiri is a broken Hill and has 15 caves. These are mainly rock-cut shelter.

Nandankanan Zoological Park

Nandankanan Zoological Park and Botanical Garden in Bhubaneswar is a must-visit place for wildlife lovers. Nandankanan means the ‘Garden of Pleasure’. It serves as the first captive Gharials breeding centre of India. This park boast of having a wide variety of fauna ranging from white tiger, spotted deer, Lion, Chimpanzee, Orang Utan, Crocodile and many more which you can witness in their natural habitat while seating on the safari bus.

Ramchandi Temple

Ramchandi temple is another 5 km from Konark Sun temple.The presiding deity of this temple is Goddesh Ramchandi.

Lingaraj Temple

Lingaraj Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. And it is one of the oldest temples in Bhubaneswar and famous for its splendid architecture. The temple compound is filled with numerous small temples. The camera and electric gadgets are not allowed inside, hence photos can’t be captured.

Dhauligiri & Dhabaleswar Temple

It’s the most popular Buddhist destination of Odisha. It’s located on the bank of river Daya where great Kalinga battle was fought. There is a beautiful white temple of Lord Shiva just behind the Stupa known as Dhabaleswar Temple.

Go for a day trip to Chilka

If you are in Puri, don't miss to take a day trip to Chilka - the largest lagoon in the world and the largest brackish water lake in the country. It’s a 55 km away from Puri.

OTDC conducts a day tour to Chilka, Satapada range (The other entry points are Barkul, Rambha and Balugaon). You can book this trip to enjoy a boat ride and get a glimpse of the endangered Irawati dolphins. Just like the previous trip, this trip starts in a Volvo Bus from the same place at the same time.

The bus gives only one stop to visit Alarnath temple and have breakfast from nearby hotels and then straight goes to Chilka.

Alarnath Temple

It's an old temple located around 200 meters away from the main road at Brahmagiri on the way from Puri to Chilka. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu.

We reached Satapada by 10 am. There is an OTDC Panthniwas just before the Jetty. You have to collect coupons for the lunch before going to boat ride.

Afterwards, we boarded the OTDC motor boat to visit Dolphin Point, Sea Mouth, and Rajhans Island.

Dolphin Point:

Chilka lake is the home to Irawaddy Dolphin in India. We first set off to the areas where these aquatic mammals are frequented. After a while, we reached the Dolphin point, and keeping off the boat engine we started drifting to have a glimpse of it as the noise makes the Dolphins go away. We had an awesome experience of watching 2 to 3 dolphins although at a distance. You can carry binocular for better views. They were taking upward dives but didn't jump completely out of water and disappeared within a second. So, it couldn't be captured.

Then we started sailing again to see the Sea Mouth where Chilka meets the Bay of Bengal. It’s a beautiful place although we saw it from a distance. On the way, you can see a beautiful temple and small villages.

Rajhans Island:

We then headed to a small island in the lagoon called Rajhans Island. This island has Chilka in one side and the Bay of Bengal on another side. There is a small hut where we got off the boat, selling green coconut water, Maggie, and fried sea fish. The island is mainly sandy and dotted with small bushes here and there. We started walking across the island and reached the stunning Classic beach on the bank of the Bay of Bengal. The first sight of the golden beach with lots of crazy crabs coming with every incoming wave leaves you mesmerized. If you take a walk along the shore, you can spot some dead Jellyfish and sea shells too.

I saw all these things when I visited the first time in December. The weather was lovely and the boat ride was enjoyable. But, when I went to the second time in November, I did see nothing on the beach, no crabs, no jellyfish. Moreover, it was hot, so the ride was not enjoyable too. Don’t forget to take a hat and sunscreen lotion.

Dead jellyfish

Chilka Development Authority (CDA):

After coming back, we were taken to CDA. A short documentary of half an hour was shown on Chilka . It’s a nice place with aquariums having lots of beautiful fish. It also houses a museum which is worth seeing.

Then we finished lunch at OTDC Satapada Panthanivas. The food was delicious and the place was beautiful. The Dinning has large windows, so you can enjoy the lunch with great views of Chilka.

How to go :

The nearest Railway station is Puri which is connected with all the major cities of the country. And the nearest airport is Biju Patnaik airport, Bhubaneswar which is 60 km away from Puri.
