Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about traveling from Bilaspur to Puri
How long is the journey from Bilaspur to Puri?
The journey from Bilaspur to Puri by road covers approximately 450 kilometers and typically takes about 8-9 hours depending on traffic and road conditions. The route passes through scenic landscapes of Chhattisgarh and Odisha, including parts of the Eastern Ghats. We recommend starting early in the morning to reach Puri by evening, allowing time to rest before beginning your temple visits and beach activities the next day.
What is the best time to visit Puri from Bilaspur?
The best time to visit Puri from Bilaspur is from October to February when the weather is pleasant with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 28°C. This period is ideal for temple visits, beach activities, and exploring the surrounding areas comfortably. If you're interested in witnessing the famous Rath Yatra (Chariot Festival), plan your visit in June-July as per the Hindu calendar. Monsoon season (July-September) brings heavy rainfall but offers a unique charm with fewer tourists, while summer (March-June) can be hot and humid with temperatures up to 40°C.
What is the significance of Jagannath Temple in Puri?
Jagannath Temple is one of the Char Dham pilgrimage sites, considered among the most sacred places for Hindus. Built in the 12th century, this temple is dedicated to Lord Jagannath (a form of Lord Vishnu), along with his siblings Subhadra and Balabhadra. The temple is renowned for its annual Rath Yatra festival, where the deities are placed on elaborately decorated chariots and pulled through the streets by devotees. The temple's unique architecture, including its 65-meter high sikhara (spire) and intricate stone carvings, makes it an architectural marvel. Non-Hindus are not allowed inside the main temple, but can view it from nearby viewing platforms.
What route options are available from Bilaspur to Puri?
There are two main route options from Bilaspur to Puri. The primary route goes via Sambalpur and Bhubaneswar, which is about 450 kilometers and offers better highway conditions with NH-53 and NH-16. The alternative route goes via Raipur and then to Puri, which is longer at about 500 kilometers but might be preferred if you wish to break your journey in Raipur. Our drivers are familiar with both routes and can recommend the best option based on current road conditions, traffic reports, and weather forecasts.
What other attractions can I visit near Puri?
Besides the main attractions in Puri, there are several nearby places worth visiting. Konark Sun Temple (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is just 35 km away, famous for its magnificent architecture shaped like a sun chariot. Chilika Lake, Asia's largest brackish water lagoon, is about 60 km away and offers boat rides and bird watching opportunities. Chandrabagha Beach near Konark is less crowded than Puri Beach. The Buddhist sites of Ratnagiri, Udayagiri, and Lalitgiri (collectively known as the 'Diamond Triangle') are about 100 km away. The Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary offers nature experiences within a short drive.
Is photography allowed in Jagannath Temple?
Photography is strictly prohibited inside the Jagannath Temple premises. Mobile phones, cameras, and electronic devices must be left outside before entering the temple complex. There are secure locker facilities available near the temple entrances where you can store your belongings. For those who wish to have visual memories, there are many authorized shops around the temple that sell photographs, postcards, and other souvenirs depicting the temple and the deities.
What are the accommodation options in Puri?
Puri offers a wide range of accommodation options to suit all budgets. There are luxury beachfront hotels like Mayfair Heritage and Welcome Hotel by ITC Hotels, midrange options like Hotel Holiday Resort and Hotel Sonar Bangla, and budget guesthouses and dharamshalas for pilgrims. The Marine Drive Road and Chakratirtha Road areas have numerous hotels with sea views. During peak seasons and festivals, especially Rath Yatra, accommodations fill up quickly, so we recommend booking well in advance. Most hotels offer temple visit assistance and local sightseeing packages.
What local cuisines should I try in Puri?
Puri offers delicious Odia cuisine with unique flavors. Don't miss the famous Mahaprasad at Jagannath Temple, considered sacred and cooked using traditional methods in earthen pots. Local specialties include Khaja (a sweet crispy pastry), Chenna Poda (a caramelized cheese dessert), Dahi Bara Aloo Dum (a savory street food), and various seafood preparations made with fresh catch from the Bay of Bengal. The area around Swargadwar is known for its street food stalls. Many restaurants serve traditional Odia thali meals that offer a complete culinary experience with rice, dals, curries, fritters, and sweets.
What type of vehicle is recommended for the Bilaspur to Puri journey?
For the Bilaspur to Puri journey, we recommend comfortable vehicles like our Toyota Innova/Crysta for families or small groups of 4-6 people. For larger groups, our 12-seater or 17-seater tempo travellers provide space and comfort for the journey. All our vehicles are well-maintained, air-conditioned, and come with experienced drivers familiar with the route. The roads are generally good on the main highways, though some stretches might have patches under repair, so vehicles with good suspension ensure a comfortable ride.
When is the famous Rath Yatra held in Puri and what makes it special?
The Rath Yatra (Chariot Festival) in Puri is typically held in June-July (during the Hindu month of Ashadha) with dates varying according to the Hindu calendar. What makes it special is its scale and cultural significance - it's one of the oldest and largest chariot festivals in the world. During this festival, the deities of Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra are brought out of the temple and placed on three enormous, elaborately decorated wooden chariots, standing 45 feet high. These chariots are then pulled by thousands of devotees through the Grand Road (Bada Danda) to the Gundicha Temple where the deities stay for nine days before returning to the main temple. The festival attracts millions of pilgrims and tourists from around the world. The term 'Juggernaut' in English actually derives from the seemingly unstoppable chariots of Lord Jagannath during this festival.
