Nature Camp Konark Retreat

Very peaceful and relaxing place in nature's lap away from the hustles of the city. Good home like food with excellent service staff. It has got something for all age groups. You can visit with family, friends or spouse only. Enjoyed every bit of it.

Good quality, traditional Odiya food, prepared from home grown, locally available spices and vegetables. Fresh fish from nearby river and sea. Quiet sorrounding and serene atmosphere. Staffs are very friendly.

Stayed for a day at Nature Camp Konark Retreat during my trip to Odisha. Tucked away in the woods just outside the Puri-Konark marine drive, the place is at close proximity to the Sun temple at Konark. Just a few hundred feet from the property, the Kushabhadra river flows by before joining the sea at Ramchandi Beach. The stay is in fine Swiss tents, equipped with a nice porch, a cozy bed and a clean bathroom. Set amidst cashew, casuarina, acacia and ***y other trees, the place provides a comfortable place to relax. I spent late evening hours working on my photographs at the common restaurant area, chatting with Ms Sanghamitra the owner, with her labrador for company, even as Chitto served me a hot dinner with a lot of care. The two cups of hot soup were just what I needed to beat the early January chill. The food was delectable. After the visit to the sun temple, I took a short boat ride to marvel at the estuary of Kushabhadra as the river meanders her way to join the sea. The last rays of the reddish sun reflected on the wet sand as the sea roared on one side and the river gently soothed my bare feet on the other. Early morning, I took a walk ***** the banks of Kushabhadra as the sun rose on the eastern horizon. The fisherfolks were out early, unmindful of the fog and the morning chill. I took a few photographs to capture the beautiful scenery, went back into the cottage for a refreshing hot bath and ended my stay with a tasty breakfast, again served with great hospitality.
