Good
time to visit ORISSA
For visitors from colder climates, the best time for visit would be between
October to March. The weather during this time is very pleasant and conducive
to travel. This is also the time when millions of migratory birds make their
way from the north to nest in the lakes and forests of Orissa. However,
Orissa is not without attraction during the rest of the year. Barring occasional
very high temperatures for a few days in the months of May-June-July, and
a couple of weeks of heavy rains during the monsoons, the climate in Orissa
is very much to the advantage of visitors. In fact, these so called off
seasons are the best times to get fabulous deals on accommodation, local
transport etc.

Ever
washed by the blue waters of the Bay of Bengal in the east, Orissa is
bounded in the north by Bihar, in the north-east by West Bengal, in the
south by Andhra Pradesh and in the west by Madhya Pradesh. This rural
riverine land of multi-splendours, is watered by the rivers Mahanadi,
Brahmani, and Vaitarani flowing in the south-easternly direction before
merging in the Bay of Bengal. These rivers and their tributaries provide
the state with rich alluvial tracts.
Orissa
is possessed of an extensive plateau in the interior with sprawling coastal
plains in the foreground. This plateau, an undulating upland, gently slopes
down towards the Bay of Bengal. Its extensive palm fringed coast-line
running to 482 kms., serene holiday beaches, pronounced rural environs,
charming blue hills rising here and there abruptly from the plains and
the plateau, green wood-lands, rock caves, so fascinatingly sculptured
temples and other monuments , picturesque mud villages set in greens,
modern industrial leviathans, colourful and gay tribals and so rich and
varied handicrafts make Orissa a miniature India. Here is Bharat in a
capsule. |
