Odisha: Sun Temples and Silent Lagoons

Odisha, India

About this trip

A 13th-century sun temple carved as a chariot, the Jagannath shrine that gives us the word juggernaut, and Asia's largest brackish lagoon where dolphins surface at dawn. Odisha rewards travellers who like their heritage uncrowded.
