YOUR BUDGET Your budget is the first

biggest thing that affects your hotel choice for Puri.

Many online sites that allows for booking a Puri hotel provides a choice to either choose a by budget, mid budget or luxury categories, or by the price range (under Rs. 1000, Rs. 2000, etc.)

Step 1

Many times there are discounts for the whole site

Some travel agencies also provide other deals such as “stay 10 nights, get 1 night free”.

CUSTOMER SERVICE Booking with a good travel

agent is extremely important for your hotel booking in Puri. Many can claim they are the best. But few can answer most questions about these hotels or solve problems when you have one while in Puri.

Talk to the travel agent before you book. You will quickly get an idea whether you are talking to an expert or just another agent.

Step 5

CUSTOMER SERVICE (CONTINUED)

Last thing you want during your trip is to reach the hotel and find that it does not have your booking. This is particularly painful during peak season when most hotels run at 100% occupancy.

INTERNATIONAL TOURISTS A word for tourists visiting from

the USA, Europe or other foreign countries: If you can afford $120 or more,

two of the most popular hotels are Mayfair Resort (no ocean view room) and Hans Coco Palm Resort.

For budget conscious travelers from USA, UK, Germany, Japan, Australia, etc., good hotels include Hotel Mahodadhi and Hotel Naren Palace. Both have pools and provide good service for international budget travelers)

INTERNATIONAL TOURISTS (CONTINUED)

2-3 days is usually good enough to cover most of Puri.

International tourists – particularly non-Hindus, cannot enter the Jagannath temple. But there are many strategic view points to get great views of the inside of the temple

Traveling – Usually you can land in Bhubaneswar and travel to Puri by car (costs about $80 to $100). This is the best way to reach Puri. It is best if you keep the car to return you back to Bhubaneswar.

One must plan for a day trip to Konark from Puri. Our suggestion is to cover Konark on your way from Bhubaneswar to Puri or vice-versa.
