450 km of golden and silvery sands crisscrossing a large number of meandering rivers and coastal streams is Odisha’s heavenly coastline, a paradise for travellers of all kinds. The coastal lands of Odisha are not only India’s spiritual corridor but also natural wonders. Fishermen and rice farmers inhabiting countless villages of the scenic coast have soulful stories of survival, adaptations, and maritime history. From here the Odia sailors had sailed through the mighty sea to spread the stories of Odisha far and wide in the fabled lands of Java and Sumatra. Today Odisha’s maritime legacy is celebrated in form of rituals, fairs and festivals throughout the year with devotions and reverence. The cult of Jagannath has been deeply influenced by the coastal life of Odisha. Odisha Journeys offer the following curated itineraries on the sublime coastline of Odisha.
