    Pick up from your Bhubaneshwar hotel for same day excursion visit to Konark Sun Temple & Chilka Lake .
    Bhubneswar to Konark Temple - 90 minutes drive.

    We will drive to the Sun Temple at Konârak, located on the eastern shores of the Indian subcontinent, is one of the outstanding examples of temple architecture and art as revealed in its conception, scale and proportion, and in the sublime narrative strength of its sculptural embellishment. It is an outstanding testimony to the 13th-century kingdom of Orissa and a monumental example of the personification of divinity, thus forming an invaluable link in the history of the diffusion of the cult of Surya,the Sun God. In this sense, it is directly and materially linked to Brahmanism and tantricbelief systems. The Sun Temple is the culmination of Kalingan temple architecture, with all its defining elements in complete and perfect form. A masterpiece of creative genius in both conception and realisation, the temple represents a chariot of the Sun God, with twelve pairs of wheels drawn by seven horses evoking its movement across the heavens

      Exploring the magnificent Konark Sun Temple was undoubtedly the highlight of our day, with its intricate carvings leaving us in awe. While the drive to Chilika Lake was picturesque, we wished we had a bit more time to soak in the beauty of the surroundings before heading back to Bhubaneswar.

      Visiting the Konark Sun Temple was a stunning experience; the intricate carvings and the sheer scale of the structure left me in awe. The boat ride on Chilika Lake was serene, though I wished I had more time to explore its beauty fully.
