Woke up at sunrise to visit the sun temple again for some better shots of the temple. Then we had a rather uncertain drive through the heavy winter fog to the Balukhand Konark Sanctuary. The road inside the sanctuary led to an isolated but beautiful beach with forest cover for almost the entire stretch and a little back water where we spent a while spotting and photographing birds. We did not come across any other wildlife but for some noisy monkeys. By noon we were driving back to Bhubaneshwar. We took a longer route back through the villages this time and enjoyed the beautiful, lush and bountiful Odisha country side. It was a pleasant change from the dry bland landscape of neighbouring Chattisgarh.
