Konark with Kids — Family Travel Guide
Odisha, India · 5m · easy difficulty
Suitable for families with children
Go with kids 6–15 to count the 24 stone wheels and learn how the temple works as a giant sundial. Skip the afternoon visit because there's no shade and the heat will exhaust them. Bring a guide or prepare to explain the erotic sculptures beforehand, and plan just 2 hours so you're not stretched for activities.
