  • How should I plan a stress-free, memorable trip to BBSR and Puri from New Delhi with my family?

    Dear Fellow Redditors, Unknown Acquaintance from BBSR, Jai Jagannath Ji to all of you. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™‚β˜ΊοΈπŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ» I'm a Delhite (Punjabi), not an Odisha native, & do not understand or speak Oriya language. I have never been to the BBSR before. In fact, no one in my family has been to Odisha yet.😁😁🀦🏻🀦🏻 I'd like to ask you a straightforward question from the perspective of a tourist / first-time visitor. Please be honest, non bully & courteous in your response. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ» Now, I'm my question? I'm planning a trip to Shri Jagannath Ji Temple with my mother and sister in the first week of January 2025. Now I'll ask my question? Question: How should I plan a stress-free 6 to 7-day travel itinerary from New Delhi, keeping in mind that this is my first visit & that I will be accompanied by two ladies (Mom & Sister)? β€’ Could anyone recommend some good family-friendly hotels (Budget is not an issue) in the BBSR especially near the airport? (Why only BBSR? Because it is Odisha's capital, it must be safer & more developed than other cities). β€’ Which are the best local authentic food restaurants to try with my family? β€’ Is BBSR and Odisha vegetarian states? β€’ What are the do's & don'ts of the Shri Jagannath Ji temple's darshan protocol for the first time visitor? β€’ Is there a specific dresscode (Male & Female) one must follow at the said temple? β€’ Is it true that non-Oriya speakers must follow some special protocols for the darshan? β€’ Will there be a rush at the temple (non-VIP Darshan) in the 1st week of January 2025? How much time does it normally takes to see a glimpse of the god? β€’ Do we have Ola, Uber, and Blu (Electric) cab services in the BBSR, or do we have to rely on local taxi drivers? β€’ What time does it take to get from BBSR to Puri? Can I visit the temple and do darshan in a day? I want to spend the most time at the temple. The rest of the things are secondary to me and my family. β€’ Which Puri, BBSR, and Odisha products are worth shopping for? β€’ Is it true that the oriyas hate people from the north indian, especially the delhites? (One of my female colleague working in my office told me the same). Thankyou in advance & i anticipate a positive response from your all. 🫑🫑
