Temple land on the Bay of Bengal. Odisha's ornate Kalinga-style temples, sacred Jagannath Puri, pristine beaches, Chilika Lake, and wildlife circuits make it one of India's most distinctive destinations.
Odisha
Best time: Oct – Mar From
₹10,900 3 Packages Available
Most Odisha enquiries start with Jagannath Temple, and that is a strong reason to go. But the current packages show three distinct Odisha routes: a Puri-Konark-Bhubaneswar heritage trip, a Puri-Chilika itinerary that adds dolphin spotting and lagoon boating, and a wildlife route through Bhitarkanika and Simlipal.
That makes Odisha useful for families, pilgrims, heritage travellers, and wildlife-focused groups. You can keep the trip short with a 4-day temple and beach plan, or use 5 days for mangroves, crocodiles, Simlipal, waterfalls, and forest landscapes.
Packages include accommodation, breakfast, and an exclusive cab for sightseeing and transfers. Entry tickets, safari or boat charges, travel insurance, and personal expenses are separate unless added before booking.

Choose Your Odisha Tour
Select a Puri-Konark heritage trip, a Puri-Chilika Lake package with dolphin spotting, or a Bhitarkanika-Simlipal wildlife expedition with exclusive cab and breakfast.
Odisha tours usually start from Bhubaneswar, but the best route depends on whether you want Puri darshan, Chilika boating, or forest safaris.
Bhubaneswar pickup keeps the route simple
Current Odisha packages start from Bhubaneswar and then move to Puri, Konark, Chilika, Bhitarkanika, or Simlipal depending on the selected route.
Temple, beach, and lagoon are paced properly
Puri, Konark, Lingaraj, Mukteshwar, Gundicha, Loknath, and Chilika can be combined without turning the trip into a rushed day tour.
Wildlife costs are explained upfront
Bhitarkanika boat safaris, Simlipal forest entry, and other local charges are separate unless specifically added, so you can budget clearly.
Private cab comfort
The package structure includes an exclusive cab, fuel, driver allowance, night halt, road taxes, and parking for transfers and sightseeing.
Easy customization
You can add Chilika to a Puri-Konark route, extend a Puri stay, include special darshan where available, or add extra wildlife time.

A great choice for a comfortable and memorable Gujarat trip."
Akhilesh Kumar
"We had a good experience overall. The car was very comfortable and the driver was good. Le Lac Sarovar hotel was very nice. The hotel in Netarhat was slightly disappointing; staying at Jharkhand Tourism's Prabhat Vihar would be better due to its location near the sunrise point."
Vasanthi Murugesh
"Amazing experience. The tour was well managed and the staff were cooperative. Hope to plan another trip again."
Jyotirani Bhowmick
"Overall experience was very good. However the driver-cum-guide role could be improved as he did not have the itinerary and asked us about the next destination. A guide should be present or the driver should have better knowledge about the places."
Sandeep
"We had a wonderful experience with Meet N Greet Travels. The trip was beautifully planned and organized by agent Shubham. The resorts were excellent with great ambience and efficient staff. The food quality was excellent and the cab driver was punctual and supportive. However, a lot of time went into travelling by cab which created some stress."

Shamal
"The transport, driver, booking process and explanation by Mr. Subham were good. Accommodation at Dwarka was good, but the hotels at Sasan Gir and Somnath were disappointing and could be improved."
Sanjaya Kumar Pradhan
"Had a comfortable vacation with Meet N Greet. The driver was friendly and guided us well. The team ensured we reached all places on time and did not miss any destinations in the plan. The trip could have been even better if they had suggested more options to cover the places within the available time."

Plan Your Trip
When Should You Go?
October – March
Best overall time for Odisha tours. Weather is comfortable for Puri, Konark, Bhubaneswar, Chilika Lake, Bhitarkanika, and Simlipal.

A strong window for lagoon and wildlife-focused routes, with better comfort for boat rides, forest visits, and beach evenings.
April – June
Summer can be hot and humid around Puri, Bhubaneswar, and Konark. Travel is possible with early starts, but it is not the most comfortable season.
July – September
Monsoon brings greenery but can affect outdoor sightseeing, boat rides, and forest movement. Keep the itinerary flexible if travelling during this period.
Note: Jagannath Temple entry is restricted to Hindus. Chilika dolphin sightings and wildlife sightings are common but never guaranteed.
