Best Time to Visit Odisha, India

The ideal time to visit Odisha, located on the eastern coast of India, is during the winter months, from October to March. During this period, the weather is relatively cooler and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 30°C. Winter showcases a perfect climate for sightseeing, attending vibrant festivals such as the world-famous Puri Jagannath Rath Yatra, and exploring the exquisite temples and historical sites without the discomfort of excessive heat or humidity. Additionally, this season is suitable for visiting wildlife sanctuaries like the Bhitarkanika National Park and the Satpada Dolphin Sanctuary.

For those interested in coastal activities, such as spending time at the pristine beaches of Puri, Gopalpur, and Chandipur, the winter months also provide a perfect opportunity. The sea remains calm and conducive to watersports and beach relaxation. The onset of winter, especially in the month of November, marks the beginning of the tourism season, with accommodations being in high demand. Hence, it’s advisable to plan your trip and book your stay in advance. However, if you want to avoid crowds, the early summer months of April to June can be considered, but expect high temperatures and humidity, making sightseeing during the day quite challenging.
