About This JourneyPlan this journey
Overview
While Puri's beach is famous, Odisha's coastline hides gems most visitors never find. Chandrabhaga Beach near Konark is one of India's Blue Flag beaches — ASI-restricted dunes meeting the Bay of Bengal without a single hotel on the horizon.
Rushikulya Beach in Ganjam is the seasonal home of the Olive Ridley sea turtles — one of the world's largest mass-nesting events, where tens of thousands of turtles emerge to nest under a full moon.
