After meeting your driver, begin your Balasore sightseeing tour.
Emami Jagannath Temple
Start your sightseeing with a visit to the beautiful Emami Jagannath Temple at Balgopalpur. The temple is an impressive architectural attraction dedicated to Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra.
The temple follows the traditional architectural style associated with the Jagannath Temple of Puri and features beautifully carved stonework. The Balasore district administration describes it as an important architectural and religious attraction in the district.
Spend around 45–60 minutes exploring the temple complex and offering prayers.
Tip: The temple currently has a morning visiting period and an afternoon/evening period, so the exact sequence may be adjusted according to the day's temple schedule.
Khirachora Gopinath Temple, Remuna
Continue towards Remuna and visit the famous Khirachora Gopinath Temple.
The temple is an important Vaishnav pilgrimage site associated with Lord Gopinath and the devotional traditions surrounding Saint Madhavendra Puri.
Spend some peaceful time at the temple before proceeding towards Chandipur.
Lunch & Hotel Check-in at Chandipur
After sightseeing, drive towards Chandipur.
Check in to your hotel and have lunch. Relax for some time before the afternoon sightseeing.
Afternoon – Chandipur Beach
Later, visit the famous Chandipur Beach.
Chandipur is known for its unusual tidal phenomenon, where the sea can retreat significantly from the shoreline during low tide. Enjoy a leisurely walk along the beach, take photographs and experience the unique coastal landscape.
Important: The best time to experience the receding sea depends on the tide on your travel date. The beach visit should therefore be planned according to the day's tide timings.

Alternatively, spend the evening relaxing at Chandipur Beach or at your hotel.
