Take a refreshing dip in the crystal clear blue water, enjoy thrilling water sports, build sandcastles on the golden sands or simply relax under the sun, Puri Beach is a perfect destination to kick-start your family-friendly vacation in Puri.
A sacred pilgrimage site for Hindus, the Jagannath Temple is renowned for its beautiful architecture, intricate carvings and spiritual significance. Witness the daily rituals and offerings, immerse yourself in the enchanting devotional music and enjoy the lip-smacking Prasad for a profound cultural experience.
Known as the 'Gateway to Heaven,' Puri Swargadwar Beach is an ideal spot to bask in the serene atmosphere, indulge in watersports, learn about Hindu death rituals, and watch the captivating sunrise and sunset.
All places mentioned are free-to-enter and family-friendly.
For a more extended vacation, explore the handicraft stores in Puri's bazaars, stroll around the serene Chilika Lake and Mangalajodi Bird Sanctuary, or pay a visit to the Atharnala Bridge (or Raja Nalapanta). However, if your family has less time, skip the handicraft stores and the bird sanctuary and focus on the main attractions. Remember to check for opening and closing hours before planning your day to avoid any inconvenience.
