The History of Journey

Odisha, the land of temples and beaches, is a treasure trove of cultural and natural wonders. With a rich history dating back to ancient times, this eastern Indian state offers a plethora of sights and experiences that are sure to leave a lasting impression on any traveler. Join me as I take you on a journey through two of Odisha's most popular destinations - Puri and Bhubaneswar. Day 1: Tue, 24th evening - Bengaluru to Bhubaneswar to Puri After a long and tiring day at work, I boarded my flight from Bengaluru to Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha. As I arrived at the airport, I was greeted by the warm and welcoming locals who guided me to my cab. We embarked on our journey towards Puri, which is located about 60 kilometers away from Bhubaneswar.

The destination was always in my TO-DO list and thanks to COVID, it took a backseat.
