Just by going through the pictures the place looks very interesting. Will go through the log later but the pictures have come up pretty well considering they have clicked using a mobile phone.

Thanks MG. Yes, the K790i is one gem of a camera phone. The ones clicked with D500 and H50 will come up in the weekend.

Wow! This place looks gorge-ous. I never imagined that the Mahanadi could look like this. I have just been on the Mahanadi in a train! Nice beaches here... wonderful.

I know Ken da...even the brochure doesn't advertise this place as well. The tranquill that looms in the place is something out of the world.

good to see you back on the saddle and the trip logs flowing

they are a treat as always !!!

Hats off to the K790i-you are doing wonders with a 3.2mp cam! Time for me to get my N79's 5 mp rolling.
Looks like it was a peaceful trip-you must have come back completely refreshed.
Keep rolling guys!

As usual Sunil has penned down our expereinces so well. As far as me, i didnt have so much expectations for this place, but to my surprise this place really looked awesome during sunset especially. Arnab even asked me "yati da who is gonna believe that this is India!" Truly.....the sun set suddenly between 2 mountains and what remained was some scattered sunlight in the sky which mesmerised us to take as many shots as possible. As time progressed and we were chatting in the lights of a lantern, the silence of the surroundings (at times) truly described how serene the environment was. I was curious to experience the night on a full moon day. lets see whats in store for us next time.

Awesome, simply breathtaking place. I would surely visit this place sometime soon. I hope you are game for it,again!!

Also share some more details about the place like room rent rates etc.

I guess they were staying in tents

**chicane1879** · 12-04-2009, 11:04 PM

^^I meant that only..The tents with the rooms!!

**hitanshu** · 12-05-2009, 12:38 AM

awesome pics man and lovely explorations. How safe is the orissa areas around bbsr for night driving?

**chicane1879** · 12-05-2009, 08:56 AM

It's pretty much safe around BBSR. The only danger would be the wild animals which you might encounter!!

The Eastern Part of the State is absolutely safe, the only place which is Naxalite-infested is the Western and South-West Part.But then they hardly bother anyone during daytime.At Nights it would be wise to avoid those places.

Great addon Yati da! You have captured the essence of the stay very truly.

Swagat bhai, the stay were at 1100 per tent, inclusive of food and a boat ride. Each tent accommodates two, but we got five guys into two tents, just paying extra for the food. We might go there too in future

Thanks Inder bhai. Might be meeting you and other Pune xBhpians in a few months time.

Thanks Hitanshu. Aptly replied by Swagat in his post. The stretches you would prefer to avoid at night are Bhadrak-Balasore (60-70 km of diversions and bad roads) and Balugaon-Ichapuram(two laned and bumpy roads, reckless villagers).

That's quite right Swagat bhai
