5 places near jagannath puri: On hearing the name of Puri city of Odisha, first pictures of Jagannath Temple and Rath Yatra start coming in the mind. Every year lakhs of devotees reach Puri to participate in this grand journey. This time too, there has been a huge crowd in the Rath Yatra, which started from 27 June, which will continue till 8 July. People return after visiting the temple and walking in Puri Beach, but very few people know that there are some of the best places around this holy city, which will be considered incomplete without seeing it.
1. Swargadwar Beach
Most of the people coming to Puri run only towards Puri Beach, but the beach beach is not less than a treasure. It is called the ‘door of heaven’ and it is also associated with Hindu faith. In the meantime, the view of sunrise and sunset is the one who steals the heart. It is a special feeling to experience relaxation between the waves of the sea by taking warm snacks from small stalls along the middle.
If you want to spend a few moments in a quiet environment away from the crowd, then Baliharchandi Beach is the best place. This beach is known for its clean sand, slow waves and calm environment. Here you can spend time with the sound of the sea without any noise. This place is also fantastic for photography enthusiasts.
4. Chilka Lake
The Chilka Lake, located about 50 km from Puri, is considered to be the largest saltwater lake in Asia. This place is famous not only for its beautiful scenes, but also for migratory birds coming in winter. Here, traveling to small islands while riding a boat seems like a dream.
