I had called up Madhu Behera {9692122456} and Sanjay Behera for booking the boat ride. Sanjay also has his home stay accommodation in the Mangalajodi Village. Both the boatman and the guide were extremely informative about the migratory birds, My wife who is an extremely avid bird watcher was impressed with the extensive information provided by the guide during the boat tour. I have rarely seen such a huge collection of birds though we were travelling at the end of the season. We have visited several similar sites in India but I would rate Managaljodi as the best. I am lucky I chose to avoid the over hyped Chilka dolphin satapada tour and chose Managljodi instead. Just call Sanjay Behera on 9337810040 or 9090322190 and he will take care of everything. We spent around 1 hour at his home stay where we were treated very warmly by Sanjay and his family. The rooms though basic are very clean and well lit. .

This place has a lot of brands to choose from and there is a food court with a lot of eateries and a gaming arcade. Also there is a chilli's outlet in the food court. Theres loads of parking space and escalators to enter the mall from the parking. Love visiting this mall as there are a few brands which you will only get here.

Fell in love rather rose in love upon reaching and experiencing Bhubhaneshwar,-Odisha, its architecture, religious psyche, the people.No less was my experience at this Iconic Lingaraj Temple.Being a ritualistic worshipper myself of almost all the traditions including the Vaishnavite and Shaivite tradition, am well versed the sacred hyms and articles of worship to be offered to the respective dieties.This was the only Temple from over ten thousand temples I have visited throughout India,Which not only allowed but celebrated the Worship of these 2 cosmic wielders of forces of Nature,I.e: sattva and tamoguna with their respective articles of significance -Tulsi leaves to Lord Narayana,and Bilva Leaves for Lord Shiva with their respective hyms.thiroughly enjoyed the ritual and time spent at the sanctum sanctorum thoroughly.Here also bought aswellas donated a Flag that would be hoisted atop of the Temple.Great Temple,Loved it thoroughly.

It was a great place to visit since my childhood. The most advantage of Nandan kanan over other zoo are it's build and located inside of a forest, so the animals are more or less enjoying forest alike atmosphere . Extremely big with respect to the area . However mismanagement is there every where. Need to be taken care with extremely special care to preserve this gem

You must be stunned when u visit this temple. In South India, especially in Tamil Nadu, we pray the almighty in the form of statue. But here, Shiva lingams and Snake structured Deities are present everywhere. The architecture and Gardening are the huge attraction of this temple. Don't Miss It. Otherwise u r the looser. 2 Hours and Evening are Best.

Odisha is home to the maximum number of tribes - 62. Just spend 2-3 hours in this museum and you will get to know a lot about them. The best thing is they have a good AV kiosk. My son just freaked out on that. He developed a lifelong interest in tribal life in 3 hours. They also have a souvenir shop and a book shop. Book shop is really good. A must-visit for children aged 7-14

This is one of the famous temples in Bhubhaneshwar with a beautiful arch in the front and one of the few temples with a carved ceiling of the garbha Griha. The carving outside is just so delicate and the temple is charming made in the 10th cent CE.
