Arrive Bhubaneshwar
Arrive Bhubaneshwar; garland welcome; assistance and transfer to Hotel.
Bhubaneshwar is the capital of the ancient kingdom of Odisha (Orissa), and
is famous as the temple city of India. Travel through Odisha (Orissa) is a
melange of art, architecture and long-established customs. City tour of
Bhubaneswar, which has some stunning temples clustered around the Bindusagar
Tank. Of the original 7000 only 500 remain dating from the 7th century to
the 11th century AD. Of these the most outstanding is the 11th century
Lingaraja Temple, which celebrates the zenith of Odisha (Orissa) art; and
the late 10th century beautifully decorated Muktesvara Temple, which marks
the end of the phase of temple building in Odisha (Orissa). Outside the city
limits are the Udayagiri and Khandgiri caves, harking back to the time of
Jain and Buddhist occupation of this region in the 2nd century BC. The Jain
caves are among the earliest in India and all the caves were built or
excavated during the 150 years before Christ. In contrast to the stark decor
of the Jain caves, the Buddhist caves are decorated with excellent friezes
and sculptures. O/n hotel.
DAY 3
In Puri
Puri is one of the four principal holy abodes in India, as well as a popular
beach resort. It offers the rare experience of watching both the sunset and
sunrise from the same beach. Pre-Dravidian and pre-Aryan history relates
that a tooth of Buddha was temporarily enshrined in Puri before being moved
to Sri Lanka. Supporting the theory that Buddhism prevailed in this area,
the Jagannath Temple, dedicated to the Lord of the Universe, and the main
attraction in Puri, was believed to have originally been a stupa (pagoda).
The extraordinary form, Jagannath takes in this temple, is said to be the
unfinished work of the craftsman god, Vishvakarma. Angry at Vishnu, he left
his interpretation of the ‘Lord of the Universe’ incomplete. O/n hotel.
Puri – Chilka Lake
The drive to Chilka Lake takes us through picturesque countryside and
charming villages. Chilka lies in the heart of coastal Odisha (Orissa).
Spread over 1,100 sq km, this is the country’s largest lake. Dotted with
islands, Chilka has a rich variety of aquatic life and is a bird watcher’s
paradise, particularly when migratory birds arrive in winter. Sunset and
sunrise are memorable experiences here. O/n Guest House.
Gopalpur – Taptapani
Morning, relax at the hotel; afternoon drive to Taptapani (150km). Luxuriate
in the small hot springs in this peaceful village: water from the hot
sulphur springs, discovered here in a forest setting, is channelled to a
pool for bathing. There is a shrine of goddess Kandhi inside the original
pool, which is believed to cure infertility. You may also like to visit
Chandragiri, 36km away, where a community of Tibetan refugees resides, and
supports itself by weaving carpets. O/n Inspection Bungalow.
DAY 6
Taptapani – Rayagada
Odisha (Orissa) has the third highest concentration of tribes in India, and
because of the remoteness of the area where they live these tribes are
untouched by modern ways of life. Each has a distinct language and pattern
of social and religious customs. Though economically challenged and a very
low rate of literacy, the tribal groups have highly developed artistic
skills as seen in their body paintings, ornaments, weaving and wall
paintings. Music and dance also are an integral part of their ceremonies and
seasonal festivals. During the next few days we will be visiting some of
these tribal settlements. On the 220km drive today we will stop at the
villages of the Saoras, a major tribe who live in hilly areas. In contrast
to other tribes who live in clans, the Saoras live in extended families
descended from a common ancestor. The village is administered by a headman
assisted by a religious leader and village shamans (medicine men), who are
able to communicate with deceased ancestors. The walls of the mud houses are
decorated with remarkable paintings and traditional designs. Monday is the
market day for this tribe so we will have time to wander through the tribal
market. O/n hotel.
DAY 9
Rayagada – Jeypore
Drive to Jeypore (250km/7hrs) through Chatikona, visiting a few Dongariya
Kondh villages en route. O/n hotel.
Jeypore – Onukudelli
The area we visit today is the home of the approximately 6000 members of
fierce Bondas (naked people) of Tibetan-Burmese origin. They live in remote
hills and keep themselves isolated. Bondas grow rice by shifting cultivation
and domesticate cows and goats and can only be seen when they come to trade
at the local market. Therefore, we must time our visit to coincide with the
weekly market-day on Thursday. The Bonda women are conspicuous with their
bead necklaces, striking brass and silver necklets, and their shaved heads
decorated with plaits of Palmyra leaves. We will also visit the colourful
Gadabas, a Munda tribe who speak in an Austro-Asiatic dialect. O/n at
Inspection Bungalow in Machkund near Onukudelli.
DAY 10
Jeypore – Vishakhapatnam – Delhi
Today we leave hotel early in the morning at 0600hr and drive to
Vishakhapatnam (210km/4hrs.) and straightaway transfer to airport for flight
to Delhi. Late night transfer to the International airport.
