I have been blessed to travel to 115 lands but my visit, 2 weeks ago today, to the exquisitely carved 13th centruary Sun Temple in Konrak, @UNESCO lister since 1984, is up there among the most incredible religious monuments I have seen.
A must visit site in @incredibleindia.

Last night we found time to visit Udaygiri hill with its 18 caves dating back to the first century and stunning view across to its twin, Khandagiri Hill, topped with a beautiful temple.
A great start to our Odisha explorations!
