It is a heritage walk combines mythology, history and cultural stories to weave a narrative around the temples of Bhubaneswar and how romance has been depicted through the sculptures in various places. Unlike other walks which focus on just the archaeology or architecture and give surface level information, our trails take a more story led approach. The research behind the stories are done by archaeologists and anthropologists and the stories have been carefully curated.

Inclusions: Light snacks at a local food shop will be provided as a part of the trip.

This being my first beach camping experience, I was excited and nervous at the same time. The beach is secluded, clean and serene. The food was yummy authentic local cuisine and the hosts (team Gilehrio) were on their toes always for any request/help. I only wished we could spot some olive riddley turtles during our stay. May be next time!
