Package Overview

Complete details about your journey

About This Package

This is the complete cultural tour of Odisha — seven days that weave together Kalinga temple architecture, the Buddhist Diamond Triangle, UNESCO Konark, the living faith of Jagannath Dham, the Pattachitra artists of Raghurajpur and the wild beauty of Chilika.

Why Choose This Route

Most Odisha tours skip the Buddhist Diamond Triangle and rush the temples. Ours gives each layer of heritage its due, pairs a knowledgeable heritage guide with a private AC vehicle for all seven days, and bases you smartly to minimise backtracking.

Experience You'll Get

Read centuries in carved stone at Mukteshwar and Rajarani, stand where Ashoka renounced war at Dhauli, trace monastic ruins at Ratnagiri, watch sunrise gild Konark’s chariot wheels, receive Mahaprasad at Jagannath Temple, and close with dolphins surfacing on Chilika.

Ideal For

Designed for history buffs, architecture and art lovers, and culturally-curious families who want the full picture of Odisha’s heritage rather than a hurried highlights reel. Well-paced for all age groups.
