About this itinerary
Walk the white Shanti Stupa at Dhauli, the edicts of Ashoka, and the old temples of Bhubaneswar — a short, quiet circuit from Janpath.
Dhauli is where an emperor put down the sword. We keep the morning for the stupa and the river, then the afternoon for Lingaraj and the museum.
A private car from Bhubaneswar, a planner who knows the priests, and rooms that are close enough to return for lunch.
