Tour and travel in Odisha can be both entertaining and enlightening


Being a part of the Mauryan Empire, Odisha houses lots of tourist attractions. The capital city of Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Puri, Konark, Paradeep, Rourkela, etc. are some of the major places that everyone needs to visit once. For promoting and facilitating tour and travel in Odisha, several travel agencies have been operated all over the state.




What to Visit

Starting from the beautiful city of Bhubaneswar, Odisha has several archaeological wonders in the form of Nagara style temples dedicated to various Hindu deities for which Bhubaneswar is rightly termed as the “temple city of India”. The following temples are dedicated to Lord Shiva:


•   Parasurameswara Temple
•   Mukteswara Temple
•   Lingaraja Temple

Apart from that, a line of part natural and part artificial caves in Udayagiri and Khandagiri is really worth visiting. They contain a number of Jain temples and stone carvings dating back to Mauryan Empire.

Other important tourist places include Brahmeshwara temple, Nandankanan Zoological Park and Odisha State Museum. 


Puri is most famous for Jagannath temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu and it is a scenic marvel. Apart from the temple, you never want to miss the heavenly environment of the Puri beach. It is a real paradise for sand artists and for those who admire it. Every year an annual Beach festival is held at this place.

Konark is another travel destination in the map of Tour and Travel in Odisha where the famous Sun temple is located. The temple is shaped like a chariot with wheels and pillars. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in an 8 km distance from the temple, Kuruma is one of the major archeological excavation sites of the state with mesmerizing natural beauty.
