During peak Rath Yatra days, the station area is highly congested. It's better to reach your hotel first rather than starting local sightseeing immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 1-day Puri sightseeing taxi cover?
The classic local circuit: Jagannath Temple (nearest allowed drop point), Gundicha Temple, Lokanath Temple, Bedi Hanuman, Narendra Pokhari, Swargadwar, the lighthouse and beach stretch — with Sudarsan crafts or Raghurajpur village as optional add-ons.
How many hours does the local sightseeing plan run?
Around 8 hours in the standard plan. Shorter half-day loops are possible for late starters; the full day works best with a dawn start so temple darshan finishes before the heat and queues.
Can the cab take me to the Jagannath Temple gate?
Vehicles stop at the police-permitted points near Grand Road — walking the last stretch is standard for everyone. The driver drops and picks up at the nearest allowed point, which shifts on festival days.
Can I add Konark to the Puri sightseeing day?
Konark is better as its own half-day (the roundtrip adds 70+ km and 3-4 hours). If you want both in one day, ask for the extended plan when confirming — it changes the fare and needs an early start.
What is not included in the sightseeing fare?
Temple offerings, guide fees, entry tickets and meals are separate. The WhatsApp confirmation lists the covered route, hours, and whether parking is included, so there are no surprises at the end of the day.
