    You could bring a lightweight sketch pad and let the kids draw the birds they see most of the species have distinctive shapes that are easy to capture. For the cheapest ride, a local bus from Bhubaneswar to the Puri jetty is the most economical option; the bus stops right at the landing point so you can walk to the island. If you need a budget overnight spot, the Golden Tree in Puri is close to the jetty.
