Odisha Temples, Coast & Chilika Lake
Connect Bhubaneswar, Konark, and Puri, then head south along Chilika Lake to the coastal town of Gopalpur.
This itinerary adds Chilika Lake and the southern coast to the classic Golden Triangle. Spend the first two days exploring ancient temples and Jain caves, then take the coastal road to Konark and Puri, followed by dolphin watching at the northern end of the lake and exploring lake islands at the southern end. With a moderate pace, it is perfect for first-time visitors to Eastern India. If you only have 5 days, you can skip Gopalpur and return from Puri.
Summers are extremely hot. During the Rath Yatra festival, Puri becomes incredibly crowded, so book your accommodation as early as possible.
