Bhubaneswar
Start your day in Bhubaneswar, the 'City of Temples', visiting the epic Lingaraj Temple – one of the biggest in the country, which boasts intricate carvings and mind-blowing architecture. Then, swing by Nandankanan Zoological Park to spot the majestic white tiger. Don't forget Khandagiri and Udayagiri Caves – rock-cut wonders dating way back.
Take a quick detour to Pipli, a colour-explosion village known for its applique art. Artisans here turn fabrics into jaw-dropping designs that'll steal your heart.

Konark Sun Temple
Next, the drive to Konark. Watch the landscape change from cityscapes to rolling hills and green fields interspersed with sneak peeks of the Bay of Bengal. Let the countryside vibes and history whispers sink in.
Finally, we reach our destination – Konark, home to Konark Sun Temple – a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is shaped like a chariot and dedicated to the Sun God Surya. The carvings, telling tales from myths and daily life, will blow your mind.

Other Sights
But wait, there's more! Chandrabhaga Beach is a stroll away, where golden sands meet the Bay of Bengal’s turquoise waters. Later in the day, dive into Konark's history at Konark Archaeological Museum – it harbours artefacts from the Sun Temple that unravel the city's past.
