Planning Toolkit

Summer

The blazing heat and oppressive humidity make summer months in Puri's beachfront metropolis too difficult to bear. Visitors to Puri during the summer months return with a tan that is perhaps too dark for them.

Monsoon

During the monsoon months of June to September, Puri receives significant rains and frequent thunderstorms.

Winter

Between October and February, the best time to visit Puri is. The weather is pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 16 to 28 degrees Celsius, and the city's tourist sites have an ethereal aura during this time of year.

Deities Disintegration

Every 14 to 18 years, the deities are buried one on top of the other, to be replaced by new ones. These deities are believed to be created of neem wood and dissolve on their own.

The Breeze Of Puri

Take any location on Earth; during the day, a breeze from the sea reaches the land, and in the evening, the opposite occurs. The breeze in Puri, on the other hand, has a habit of going in the opposite direction. The breeze blows from land to sea during the day and the opposite in the evening.

A light has no darkness

Shading is an important consideration while sketching anything. Shading occurs when sunlight shines on one area of the topic while casting a shadow on the other, resulting in shade. But what if there isn't a shadow?

Nothing's above God

The sky is the province of the birds. We frequently observe birds sitting, resting, and flying above our heads and rooftops. However, this area is restricted; not a single bird has been seen flying above the temple dome, and an aeroplane has not been seen hovering above the temple. Maybe it's because Lord Jagannath doesn't want his holy mansion's view to be obstructed!

By Buses

Private buses, as well as those operated by the Odisha State Road Transport Corporation (OSRTC), are both efficient and cost-effective. There are only six city buses and twenty minibusses available.

By Cabs

Taxi operators can rent a cab for a specific amount of time. There are also auto rickshaws, but these are scarce.

By Rentals

Rental taxi companies offer a wide range of small, medium, and premium cars to meet the needs of its consumers.

By Foot

Walking tours are available for fitness enthusiasts who want to have a firsthand experience of Puri's sights and fragrances.
