Apart from the rich cultural heritage that Bhubaneswar commands with its tag of the “City of Temples”, this city is also the perfect base for planning memorable weekend trips with family and friends alike, for there are some uber interesting places to visit near Bhubaneswar. The usual tourist maps/guides will mention Puri (one of the four Dhams and a long stretch of beach) and Konark temple (a World Heritage monument) as the obvious choices. Unknown to most, Odisha has much more to offer other than the tourist circuit of Bhubaneswar, Puri, and Konark.
Be it the first suspension bridge of the state connecting the sacred island of Dhabaleswar with the mainland, be it the rustic beach of Gopalpur, or be it the hidden wetland of Ansupa in Athagarh on the banks of River Mahanadi, the experience will be no less enthralling.
