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. .

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

Dhauli is just like its name, beautiful scenic place, you will feel special after reaching there , sight of River Daya from Dhaulgii is amazing, specially when you connect that with Kalinga war and as per story Daya was full of blood and that changed Ashika from King to Baudha Bhikshu. Lord Buddha Statue is huge and attractive . many poses can be seen here of same.

Around 3 hours from Bhubaneswar, this sleepy and quiet resort is just perfect for sheer relaxation. On the bank of the Mahanadi as it exits from the gorge, the resort is small with AC cottages and tents, accomodating a maximum of around 20 guests. Not luxurious yet extremely comfortable, serenity prevails here. The staff are helpful, attentive yet unobtrusive. There''s not much to do except perhaps a boat ride up the Mahanadi gorge when you may see a few gharial or crocodiles, the place is ideal for pure and simple relaxation. The food is simple, almost home-cooked but very tasty and clean. Wonderful view of the river winding out of the hills, mostly pleasant weather - it's rejuvenating. The maintenance of the cottages, though, could do with a bit of better supervision. Leaky taps, dysfunctional ACs and nonfunctional intercom may cause some mild irritation. The AC cottages offer a splendid view albeit after a 103-step climb. Connectivity or the almost complete lack of it may be a blessing in disguise and adds to the lonely charm of this place.

One of the Best place for Photoshoot, Morning Workout, Running sessions, Yoga and Hangout in Bhubaneswar. You can head to this place if you need a break from your busy life and sit on the well groomed green grass for a while. There is also a children park here, within a few meters from the main gate. There is a glass house or the green house where all the cactus plants are kept. A part of This garden has beautiful flowers too but you are not allowed to touch them or pluck them as security service is really strict. So better to not to try this out. Visit with friends & family & Have a great time.
