Certainly there are plenty of options lying between Bhubaneswar and cuttak, but all offbeat places have become tourist attraction by now! Hats off to our poulation outburst...Still you may try staying at Konark beachside instead of Puri or other popular beaches where you can get some kind of "off beat" feelings.
