HomeOrissaBhubaneshwar Tour

Best time to visit: October • April

Bhubaneswar, the capital of Orissa, is known as the Temple Metropolis of India and boasts of 500 ancient temples of which about a dozen are sheer architectural marvels. Time was when these shrines numbered somewhere close to 7,000.

These temples narrate Orissa's history stretching back to two thousand years ago from the third century. These awesome structures dominating the city's skyline are within reasonable walking distance of one another. The 46 metre high Lingaraj Temple is the epitome of Bhubaneswar's temple tradition and is the major attraction of our Bhubaneshwar tour packages.

As the seat of Tribhubaneswar or Lord Lingaraj, Bhubaneswar is an important Hindu pilgrimage centre. In our bhubaneshwar tour we will also take you to the new Bhubaneswar with its modern buildings and extensive infrastructure perfectly complements its historic surroundings.
