Well, for nature and wildlife lovers and no-lovers also, Kuldiha Widlife Sanctuary is good place. Start from either Balasore/Panchaligeswar, and spend one whole day within the forest. During evening time, try to spend some time near Kuldiha Forest Ranger Office to take a chance to get our National Animal. Luckily you can see deer, elephant, peacock, horbill, bison etc. The journey within the forest will be adventouros and walk to waterfalls may lead to a sudden visit to tiger. The greenery will melt you if you are adventorous. We went there in March,2019 and it was somehow hot but manageable.

Reviewed By RBan26 - Bengaluru, India
It's an unspoiled beach of Orissa near Chandipur, nearest town is Jaleswar (40 km by road). Not sure why it has not been explored much by tourists, probably because there are no hotels and restaurants within 50 km radius. Also no public transportation till date. It's a flat stretch of 5 km golden sand beach where we enjoyed free car driving for hours with no one to stop or disturb. There were only a handful of local kids who were taking bath. There is a casuarina bay along the beach which added a romantic touch to the place. One can visit the beach while returning from Chandipur or take a daytrip from Digha (55km either side). Only caution - the village road from Dagara Beach to the highway passes through three notorious villages (often in news for crimes). So, it is advisable to hit the highway before sunset.

A modern temple complex dedicated to Lord Jagannath with stunning architecture. It is about 30 minutes away from the town of Balasore and I highly recommend a visit to this place if you are planning to trip to this part of India. A true architectural masterpiece indeed and very peaceful.

Exactly what we said was RELAXING. We went just to relax ourselves from our day to day activity. We loved the silent evening of the village, the roaring sound of the sea (though sea plays hide and seek) and the cool gush of wind releasing all ur stress at the beach with taking sip of coconut water... ???????????? Come and relax. We stayed in Arpita Beach Resort booked from goibibo, 10 min walk to sea. Ambiance and staff were good and its restaurant had tasty food with reasonable price. Loved my 2 night 3 days trip. If you have time you can have a half day local sightseeing. U will enjoy. Must visit Emami Jagannat temple.
