The timing of your visit to Puri requires careful consideration, especially if you wish to participate in the magnificent Rath Yatra. The grand chariot festival typically occurs during June-July (Ashadha month as per the Hindu calendar), drawing millions of devotees from around the world. However, for a more comfortable pilgrimage experience, the period between October and February is ideal, offering pleasant temperatures ranging from 15°C to 28°C. During these months, you can explore temples and attractions without the intense summer heat or monsoon rains. If you’re specifically planning to attend the Rath Yatra, we recommend booking your tour at least 3-4 months in advance, as accommodation and travel options become limited due to high demand.

For a comprehensive experience of Puri, Bhubaneswar, and the surrounding sacred sites, we recommend allocating 5-6 days at minimum. This duration allows for an unhurried exploration of the major attractions while absorbing the spiritual essence of the region. During the Rath Yatra, we suggest extending your stay to 7-8 days to fully participate in the festival’s various ceremonies and events.

Our Puri tours incorporate diverse activities to enrich your spiritual journey. These include:

• Early morning beach meditation sessions on Puri’s golden shores
• Traditional Sanskrit chanting and bhajan workshops
• Visits to local artisans crafting traditional Pattachitra paintings and palm leaf engravings
• Participation in Vedic ceremonies and spiritual discourses
