Puri with Kids — Family Travel Guide
Odisha, India · 6m · easy difficulty
Suitable for families with children
Go with kids 3–16 — Puri's flat terrain, lifeguard-patrolled beaches, and the massive Jagannath Temple kitchen (56 dishes of prasadam) are built for families. Skip the Rath Yatra crowds unless your kids handle chaos well, and avoid strong beach currents by swimming in designated areas. Book accommodation near Marine Drive to minimize temple entry disappointment for non-Hindus.
