More About Puri Tourism

Puri, which gained popularity among hippies in the 1970s with the legalization of bhang, is still a favorite backpacker destination, albeit bhang supply is now limited. Local tourists prefer to stay around New Marine Drive, while backpackers prefer to stay in Chakra Tirtha due to the abundance of hotels and homestays. If you are visiting at this period, you should not miss the Rath Yatra (chariot festival), which takes place in June and July.

Puri's beautiful history and legacy stretch back to the 3rd century B. C., and it is known as the burial site of Lord Shiva. Puri, Konark, and Bhubaneshwar make up Orissa's Golden Triangle, with its religious importance and cultural history serving as tourism hotspots. There are several locations near Puri worth visiting, including Chilika Lake, Puri Beach, Gundicha Ghar, and Konark's renowned Sun Temple.
