5 offbeat tourist destinations in Odisha
There are several places in Odisha waiting to be explored.

Located in the Eastern part of India and serving as Bhubaneswar's capital, Odisha is well-known for its ancient temples, beautiful forts, sun-kissed beaches, and fascinating tribal culture. The vibrant and culturally-rich land is also a delight for food lovers for its authentic Odia cuisine. There are many areas in Odisha that are still unexplored but are worth a visit. Here's more to it!

#1
Potagada Fort

If you are an architecture and history lover, then you must visit the Potagada Fort in Odisha's Ganjam district which is an archaeological wonder. The construction of the fort began in 1768 under the order of Ganjam's first resident named Edward Costford. Spread over a vast area, the star-shaped fort houses three different residential buildings designed separately by French, British, and Muslim rulers.

#2
Debrigarh Wildlife Sanctuary

Located in the Bargarh district of Odisha, Debrigarh Wildlife Sanctuary is an unexplored place in Odisha that is a must-visit for nature and wildlife lovers. You can enjoy a fun jungle safari tour here where you can spot wild animals like leopards, bears, bison, sambar deer, wild boars, etc. There are also waterfalls along the hillsides of the sanctuary that add to its beauty.

#3
Chandragiri (Jiranga)

Located in Odisha's Gajapati district, Chandragiri is also known as the Mini Tibet of Odisha as the place is populated by thousands of Tibetan people since 1959. The place is a hidden gem with stunning mountain slopes, dense forests, and gushing rivers. When here, you must visit the Padmasambhava Mahavihara Monastery and also buy some authentic hand-made Tibetan woolen clothes from the nearby markets.

#4
Khandadhar Waterfall

Khandadhar Waterfall is the perfect place to spend quality time together with your family, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The waterfall is located in Odisha's Sundargarh district and is the 12th highest waterfall in India.
