Whole family was together as my brother came from USA and we wanted to have a trip together. We booked flights for Bali Indonesia on 6th August but sudden earthquake and death in Bali ruined our plans.
We had to plan for domestic holiday and so we planned puri and chilika lake and the small islands near chilika and bay of Bengal.
We started our journey on 16th August and already booked hotel coco palms for one night.
On the way to puri we stopped near chandrabhaga beach and enjoyed some family time. Then we went to puri and checked in to coco palms hotel.
This is a beautiful property and we enjoyed relaxing inside the swimming pool and had dinner . We also went to puri jagannath temple.
We left for chilika lake early morning to satapada. From satapada through boat we went to rajhans which is an island has a small resort.This resort serves breakfast lunch and dinner. There were lots of sea food options and we enjoyed the fresh fish from chilika.
We booked whole day boat rides to go to dolphin watching in chilika lake. There were many small islands and each had small seafood vendors serving fried prawns and coconut water. On one side of the island was bay of Bengal and on other side was the chilika lake.
