Private day trip to Lake Chilika and Sun Temple

Published on Jan, 2025

The tour we went on was a private tour from Bhubaneswar to Chilika Lake and Sun Temple. We were fortunate to have such an experienced and thoughtful guide as Shreesh. His passion for his region and the explanations of the things we encountered or asked about made this trip memorable. The organisation was seamless and we never felt pushed. Shreesh listened to our interests and adjustments were made accordingly without fuss. Although the boat trip was to show us the local dolphins, we got as much pleasure from seeing the birds. The skill of our driver made the journey as easy as possible considering the challenges of local traffic. We will look to see more of the region with the help of Shreesh on our next visit.
