Travel Guides

Practical travel itineraries, route maps, transport options, hotel stays, and travel tips for exploring Odisha.

These are the practical guides for planning a trip in Odisha: what to see in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, how to spend a day on Chilika Lake, when to go to Daringbadi or the Koraput hills, where to stay in Puri and how to get around by train or regional flight.

Bhubaneswar is the usual starting point, with the main airport and rail connections, and Puri and Konark are within about two hours by road. The southern hills around Koraput and Daringbadi need more time and are best reached by road or on the overnight Hirakhand Express to Koraput. Use the Odisha map guide to see how the coast, the hills and the river valleys connect before you fix an itinerary.
