Travel tips
- Keep cash handy for temple donations and small vendors, as digital payments are not universally accepted at every local shrine stall.
- Expect frequent downpours and thunderstorms during your walks, so keep temple visits scheduled around morning breaks when possible.
- Dress modestly with covered shoulders and knees to respect the strict entry protocols at major shrines like Shree Jagannatha Temple.
- Allocate extra transit time between temple visits and coastal relaxation spots due to waterlogged roads during heavy rains.
