We started from Kolkata by train and get down to Bhubaneshwar at early morning. Had our breakfast with mouthwatering puri and sabji. Bought some packet food and bottled water for our rest of the journey towards Bhubaneswar. The drive from Bhubaneswar was very pleasant. We started around 7am and reached Tikadpada around 2pm.
The Tikadpada forest camp is an eco tourism center managed by the local villagers under the supervision of the Range Office (Forest Dept).This is network and no electricity zone where solar energy is being used for 3-4 hrs at night. For a true forest lovers it does not really matter; what matters is complete freedom to explore and Satkosia provides ample choice for that.
One has to have prior booking for these camps or hotels. Camps facility is available only in winter from November to March. Delicious fresh food cooked by the villagers, thrilling boating & walking, bird watching, ghariyal/ crocodile safari, uncanny sounds and pure oxygen. Really nature's paradise. Permit is easily available at gate.
