About this itinerary
The capital of Odisha wears 3,000 years of architecture on its sleeve. Over three carefully crafted days, you will walk through ancient temples, explore rock-cut caves, meet Nandankanan's white tigers, and stand on the hill where Ashoka renounced war.
Bhubaneswar is one of India's oldest living cities and was once home to over 700 temples — more than 200 of which still stand. Our itinerary also covers the new Ram Temple, the world-class Odisha State Museum and the sprawling Nandankanan Zoological Park.
Ideal for cultural travellers, families with teens, and photographers.
