Bhubaneswar Temple City Tour

Bhubaneswar city — 1 Day · 8h / 80km, fixed all-inclusive fare from ₹1,999.

Lingaraj, Mukteswar & Rajarani templesUdayagiri & Khandagiri cavesDhauli Shanti StupaOptional Nandankanan add-on

Bhubaneswar's nickname, the Temple City, is well earned — it's home to hundreds of temples spanning over a thousand years of Kalinga architecture, alongside 2,000-year-old rock-cut caves and a striking modern peace pagoda, all within a single half-day's drive of each other.

Why a private cab beats a walking tour here

The main sights — the Ekamra Kshetra temple cluster, Udayagiri-Khandagiri, and Dhauli — are spread across the city rather than clustered in one walkable zone, so a private cab with the same driver waiting at each stop is the efficient way to see all of them in a day.

For a broader one-day plan including where to eat and shop, see our Bhubaneswar in One Day itinerary. Want to add Puri and Konark to this? See the Golden Triangle package.

Package FAQ

Bhubaneswar Temple City Tour — questions

Itinerary, inclusions and booking.

Is 8 hours enough to see Bhubaneswar's main temples and caves?

Yes — Bhubaneswar’s key sights (the Ekamra Kshetra temple circuit, Udayagiri-Khandagiri caves and Dhauli) sit within a compact area, so an 8-hour/80-km package comfortably covers them with time to pause at each one.

Can we add Nandankanan Zoo to this tour?

Yes — Nandankanan is a popular add-on. It’s a little further out, so we may suggest stepping up to the 12-hour/120-km package depending on how much time you want there.

Do I need to book temple entry in advance?

No advance booking is needed for the temples on this circuit. Note that non-Hindu visitors are traditionally viewed from a platform outside the Lingaraj Temple’s inner sanctum — your driver can point this out.
