About Safari at Nandankanan Zoo

Nandankanan Zoological Park is located 20 km away from the main city of Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Spread across a sprawling area of 400 acres, Nandankanan Zoo offers a diverse range of wildlife that includes flora, fauna and mammals. Nandankanan is home to nearly 1580 animals, including 634 mammals, 812 birds and 134 reptiles. Nandankanan also acts as a host zoo for white tigers. It is also the only zoo in India which is home to Patas Monkeys, Eastern Rosella variety of parakeet and Open-billed Stork (the second largest heronry for Open-billed Storks in the state). Nandankanan Zoo is also the premier zoo in the country where the Gharials took birth under captivity in the 1980s.

Nandankanan Zoo offers a host of attractions for tourists to enjoy. Out of the others, some of the interesting things that you can do in the zoo are enjoying a Bear Safari, Lion Safari, and a unique White Tiger Safari. A toy train also runs within the premises of the park where you can enjoy a ride and observe the wildlife up close. There are also facilities for boat rides, aerial ropeway and a cable car. However, the main attraction inside the Nandankanan Zoological Park is the jungle safari. There are two types of safaris available inside the park - the natural and artificial. But it is very important for tourists to understand the fact that since Nandankanan is a zoo and not a typical national park, Elephant Safari or Jeep Safari, as such, is not offered here. Therefore, tourists take a tour on foot to enjoy the wildlife here. You may ask for a golf-cart for senior citizens if you feel a walking tour is not possible.

Harshad Shukla Nagda

Dinesh's 5 days trip to Bhubaneswar

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Odisha, and it was an unforgettable experience, thanks to the amazing sights, rich culture, and excellent services. Here’s a breakdown of my experience with the key attractions, accommodations, and cab service: ### 1. **Hotels:** The hotels I stayed at during my tour were well-selected and comfortable. In **Puri**, The room was clean, well-maintained, and the staff was polite and attentive., I stayed in a centrally located hotel that was perfect for exploring the temples and other local attractions. One of my favourite hotel stay at Taptapani hill Resort. The amenities were top-notch, and the rooms were spacious, ensuring a restful stay after a day of sightseeing. ### 2. **Cab Service:** The cab service throughout my trip was excellent. “Basudeb” was punctual, professional, and well-versed with the routes to all the tourist spots. The Toyota Rumion was comfortable and air-conditioned, making long rides enjoyable. “Basudeb” also provided valuable insights into the culture and history of the places we visited, which added a personal touch to the journey. ### 3. **Key Places Visited:** - **Jagannath Puri Temple:** The highlight of my trip, the **Jagannath Temple** in Puri is an architectural marvel. The atmosphere is electric, filled with devotion and grandeur. The rituals and cultural significance of the temple left me in awe. - **Konark Sun Temple:** The **Konark Sun Temple** is another must-visit. The intricate carvings, coupled with its historical significance, make it one of the most impressive temples I’ve visited in India. The sheer scale and beauty of the temple left me speechless. - **Chilika Lake:** A boat ride on **Chilika Lake** was an absolute highlight. The serene waters, surrounded by lush greenery, made for a peaceful and scenic experience. We also spotted some river dolphins, which added a touch of nature's beauty to the trip. - **Lingaraj Temple:** The **Lingaraj Temple** in Bhubaneswar is a classic example of Kalinga architecture. The temple's massive size and ornate carvings were breathtaking. It’s one of the oldest temples dedicated to Lord Shiva, and the spiritual atmosphere is palpable. - **Mukteshwar Temple:** This small yet beautiful temple is a hidden gem in Bhubaneswar. The carvings and the serene environment around the temple make it a peaceful spot to visit. - **64 Yogini Temple:** In Bhubaneswar, I visited another famous 64 Yogini Temple in the Hirapur area. this one is relatively well-preserved and gives a better sense of the temple's original layout and purpose. It has 64 small stone cells, each of which was once home to a deity representing one of the Yoginis. The temple is small and simple in comparison to the grand temples of Odisha, but there’s a deep spiritual energy here. I spent time observing the intricately carved stone sculptures, which depict various deities and symbolic motifs. The temple was quiet, which allowed for a reflective visit. - **Taptapani:** The hot water springs in **Taptapani** offered a unique experience. I soaked in the warm waters, which were incredibly relaxing, especially after a long day of sightseeing. - **Tibetan Village:** The **Tibetan Village** was a lovely stop. The peaceful vibe, combined with Tibetan culture, monasteries, and handicrafts, was a delightful experience. I learned a lot about Tibetan traditions and had the chance to purchase beautiful souvenirs. ### 4. **Overall Experience:** The entire trip was well-organized, with seamless transitions from one place to the next. The combination of cultural exploration, relaxation at Chilika Lake, spiritual immersion at the temples, and the scenic beauty of places like Taptapani made this tour an enriching experience. The cab service ensured that my journey was comfortable, and the accommodations were cozy and well-located. Overall, this tour to Odisha was a fantastic mix of spirituality, nature, and culture. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the best of Odisha!

Dinesh Mumbai

Deepti's 7 days trip to Bhubaneswar

It was a great experience. The services of both the travel agent Mr. Shibhashish and driver Mr. Sujan Kumar were excellent and highly recommended. Stay at hotel pride ananya was very comfortable. An advice to anyone visiting Orissa, please stay alert for all pandit jis.. most of them want more and more money out of you and it ruins the whole experience of visiting the temples... never saw this scenario anywhere except Puri, was highly disappointed. Would request tour organizers to make people aware of the same. The only Saving grace was successful darshan of bhagwan Jagannath ji. Visit to Chandrabagha beach, konark and Jagannath temple.

Deepti Goswami Delhi

Anjani's 5 days trip to Bhubaneswar

Overall our trip was very good. Mr Shibashis from Inde D Voyage included all the places we wanted to visit and we had a near perfect itinerary for 5 days. The driver Mr. Videshi was very cooperative and had all the knowledge of the places we visited and we had a great time interacting with him. We were 2 female travellers only and we felt very safe through out the entire trip. The driver was able to adapt in the case of unseen circumstances and changed the order of the places to give us ample time to visit the places properly. Only one thing regarding Hotel Sapphire Plaza the day we reached, the room had smelly bedsheets and pillow covers but they did change it after complaining, so it was good service from the hotel management. The breakfast served at both the hotels was good. We will definitely visit Puri again with the same agency in future.

Anjani Vishnoi Bhuvneshwar

Ms's 3 days trip to Bhubaneswar

Entire trip was good except the additional charges they asked for child. Travel agent and hotel argued that child is not included in my request. Though it was clearly mentioned in the invoice, 3 adults, 1 child, they blamed Travel Triangle for not sending them the child's information. Finally I had to pay for child additionally for 1 breakfast.

Ms Sravani G Hyderabad

Pragya's 5 days trip to Bhubaneswar

The trip was nice. The only feedback I would like to give is that while making the itinerary the a'noon & evening should be taken care of. The places which are best to go in evening time like Peace pagoda, Udaygiri & Khandagiri caves should be planned in evening time & not in the mrng or a'noon when it's v sunny & hot. We would have enjoyed those places v much if they would have been in our itinerary in the evening time.

Pragya Bangalore

Arjun's 5 days trip to Bhubaneswar

My recent trip to Odisha was nothing short of magical, and it was all thanks to the incredible team at Holiday Mechanic, especially our travel agent, Anita. Anita Ji took the time to truly understand our interests and preferences, crafting a personalized itinerary that perfectly captured the essence of Odisha. She was always available to answer our questions and provide support, making me feel like a valued traveler, not just a customer. She even helped us with some last minute changes and also promptly addressed any minor issues that came up during the trip. Thanks to Holiday Mechanic, I experienced the beauty of Odisha's ancient temples, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes. This trip was truly a dream come true, and I highly recommend Holiday Mechanic to anyone seeking an unforgettable travel experience in Odisha.
