Konarka Transportation

To get to Konark, which is about 35km from Puri, I took a small bus from the eastern end of Grand Road in Puri which is the broad road where the Jagannath Temple is located (although this is at the western end). The journey takes you through a few villages and along a bit of the coast and over the Nau river. It takes about an hour and costs Rs25. As the bus is small, I had to squeeze my legs in at an angle whilst sitting down, it does get awfully full up so bear this in mind. It drops you off at a road junction and you have to walk through the hoards of tourist traps stalls in order to get to the temple's entrance.
