Day 11- Visit to Konark, Pipli, Bhubaneshwar Dhauli Stupa, Simhachal on 24-Nov-2018

Reached Beach, Konark at Sunrise and surprised to see a few thousand tourists at the beach before 5 am to see the sunrise. The day was memorable because of the twilight of Moon, bath in the sea and observing the sunrise, offering prayers to the rising Sun.

Day 10- Visit to Puri and Konark as on 23-Nov-2019

Jagannath Temple Puri is one of four pithas (important place for Hindus) along with Dwaraka, Rameshwaram and Badrinath.  Spent about 3 hours in the premises of the Jaganath Temple and also had delicious prasadam in an earthen pot. The market is good but could spent about 30-45 minutes. Need to visit this place once again and move around in this holy city.
