Paradise of western Odisha
Nature has different dimensions to enhance the beauty of various places. Somewhere it is in form of flowing streams, static lakes, somewhere hills & somewhere forests.
Our state is full of natural beauty and resources. Most of them are explored & maintained by OTDC and associated districts administration. Still few unexplored or uncovered places are full of natural beauty which needs to be highlighted.
