Konark, the beach town of Odisha is merely 60 km away from Bhubaneswar and Puri, making it an ideal destination for day trips. However, Konark is a town that deals with identity crisis day in day out! People recognize it by the attraction it holds, more than anything else. I believe there are many cities and towns all over the world that go through a similar identity crisis every day.

Therefore, we decided to extend our visit for four more days to explore nearby cities.
