BHPian Silverbacknomad recently shared this with other enthusiasts: Welcome to Puri (my hometown). Quick takes below Route: Kolar- Chittoor – Tirupati – Naidupet – V’wada (take the west bypass, city traffic is a choke especially at evening when you’ll reach) – R’mundry – Vizag (again, take bypass unless you want to check out Vizag, it’s a 2 hr pain to get in and out of that city) – Berhampur. Here you have 2 options: a) Ferry to Puri (with the car) b) Drive to Bhubaneswar (has its fair share of heritage, temples, handlooms, etc)and then on to Puri Bypass and roads/eateries till Vizag are detailed in this post https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/route…ml#post6006185 Stay options are detailed in another post https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/route…ml#post6027164 In Puri, the best stay options (budget vs facilities vs the real concern of actually getting a room in this peak tourist season) – Mayfair (has a private beach and amazing food) – Swosti Plaza (in a less crowded part, still good beach access and food) – Crystal Bay (on the beach, very clean and safe) – Jagannath temple, anaged Bhakta nwas and Brundabati niwas (very functional, super clean, don’t expect grand amenities) Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.
