We started our trip early in the morning, excited and ready for a fun adventure. Our first stop was Chilika Lake. The morning sun made the water shine beautifully. We were eager to explore.

We took a boat ride on the lake. During the ride, we saw an old building in the middle of the lake, built by the British. It was like a piece of history right in front of us. After the boat ride, we continued our journey to Konark. On the way, we stopped to have a delicious lunch that my mom had packed. Eating outside made the food taste even better.

When we arrived in Konark, we went straight to the Sun Temple. The temple was amazing, with beautiful carvings and a rich history. We also did some shopping and bought souvenirs to remember our trip.

Next, we drove to Puri. After checking into our hotel and freshening up, we visited the Jagannath Temple. Even though we had to wait in a long line, the visit was worth it. The temple was peaceful and gave us a lot of positive energy. We returned to the hotel tired but happy, and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, we woke up early to revisit the Jagannath Temple. The early morning light made the temple surroundings look beautiful, and we took some lovely pictures.

Then we headed to Puri's Golden Beach. The golden sand and the sound of the waves were a perfect start to our day. We enjoyed a hearty breakfast at our hotel before doing some saree shopping. Puri is known for its beautiful sarees, and we found some lovely ones to take back home.

With our shopping done, we started our journey back to Vizag. On the way, we stopped at the Sri Mukhalingam temple in Srikakulam because my mom wanted to visit it. The temple complex had three temples—Sri Madhukeswara, Sri Bhimesawara, and Sri Someswara temples - all dediacted to Lord Shiva. It was a peaceful and spiritual place.

Finally, we headed back home, tired but filled with happy memories. This trip was a mix of beautiful places, history, and family bonding. Each stop added something special to our journey, making it a trip we will always remember.
