    The tour we went on was a private tour from Bhubaneswar to Chilika Lake and Sun Temple. We were fortunate to have such an experienced and thoughtful guide as Shreesh. His passion for his region and the explanations of the things we encountered or asked about made this trip memorable. The organisation was seamless and we never felt pushed. Shreesh listened to our interests and adjustments were made accordingly without fuss. Although the boat trip was to show us the local dolphins, we got as much pleasure from seeing the birds. The skill of our driver made the journey as easy as possible considering the challenges of local traffic. We will look to see more of the region with the help of Shreesh on our next visit.

    This visit was part of our third private tour with 5 Senses (first tour, So. India for a month; second No. India for 5.5 weeks; third East and South India, one month). You might have guessed that we are very happy with the company. All three tours were fantastic, this one no exception.

    Konark is an amazing site and well-worth visiting; plus we enjoyed the city of Bhubaneswar--especially it's extensive wall murals showing great civic pride, its many temples, and its folk arts museum.

    The museum at Konark itself is very well done and offers an interesting, if a bit fantastical, free film.

    The Vivanta in Bhubaneswar was one of the best hotels of our tour.

    A highlight of the visit was being able to attend a dance festival one evening in Dhauli, under the Peace Pagoda. Our 5 Senses guide--who had been a local tourism official before he retired--was able to get us tickets and front row, VIP seats, for free, and at short notice (same day). We felt like royalty!

    The primary strength of 5 Senses is its people. The owner, Mr. Narayanan, is a great travel planning partner (he’ll work with you to craft exactly the trip you want) and he is super-responsive during trips if any problems arise. I am confident that Narayanan will fix it if it needs fixing—he has helped us several times in that way, and he has done it quickly.

    The state-based “cultural ambassadors” he has recruited (the guides who accompany you for days, across multiple sites) are excellent and soon become friends. For this month-long tour, I’d particularly like to call out Kannan (Tamil Nadu) and Mohan, and Chandra Shekar (Karnataka). If you are touring other parts of the country, we highly recommend Balwinder (Punjab and Rajasthan) and Vivek and Ram Sewak (Varanasi, Khajuraho and environs).

    It is basically a fool’s errand to try to price shop local tour operators—there are too many variables, including the type of accommodation, the quality of guides and the quality of transport (both of which can’t be assessed ahead of time). That said, over the course of the three tours, we feel that 5 Senses has been very good value for money. And I can say for certain that you would pay three times as much for the same Smithsonian or Nat Geo or other corporate tour, plus you’d be on a bus with many other folks and stuck with the group schedule. With 5 Senses you’re in your own car deciding where and when you want to go, where you want to eat, and when you want to take it easy.

    My advice to friends looking for a private tour in India is “don’t bother contacting other companies, just talk to 5 Senses. You won’t regret it.”

    We went for beach camping at New Years. What to say everything was just perfect. From the traditional food in brass thalis, to the deserted tranquil beach and to the amazing people who took care of us! The Gundalba beach is surprisingly very clean, it's very remote and hence the tranquility. The people at the camp were very helpful and the food was delicious. The best time was the evening with a little breeze from the beach, lying on a hammock with my book. Guys! It's a once in a lifetime thing to be there. Don't miss out!

    We had a wonderful trip visiting the ancient templesites of Bhubaneswar: Mukteshwara, Parasurameswara, Rajarani, Lingaraj and some more. In awe we admired the intricate reliëfs and images.
    Visiting Jagannath temple in Puri was a sensation, albeit we were not allowed to enter. We did a highly spiritual circumambulation of the monument, experiencing the deep tradition of puja to lord Jagannath.
    We also made a rainy daytour to Singhanath temple at Badamba. It is located on a small island connected to a bridge inde Mahanadi river. A beautiful and lively templesite!
    One of the highlights was the Suntemple of Konarak, a heavenly chariot in stone.
    A visit to the excentric Chausath Yogini tantric circular site was very special too.
    The caves of Khandagiri and Udaygiri, a crowded site, gave a nice impression of ornamentals cave art.
    A lazy walk through Raghurajpur to see the pattachitra decorative folk art was a welcome change to our ancient archaeological tour.
    With the wish to dive into natural reserve we visited the wetlands of Mangalajodi with its magical assembly of colourful waterbirds.
    The whole trip we were carefully driven around by our driver Dhrupa and helpfully and friendly guided by our guide Hrudananda Nayak. He shared a lot of general and specific knowledge about the places we visited.
    All well organised by Narayan of 5 Senses Tours.
    A Great Experience!!

    This was a brilliant walking tour. Mr Satya was really friendly, interesting, and knowledgeable. He clearly has a passion for the temples and their history. As well as beautiful temples, l saw so much more as well: pilgims lodgings, markets, streets of Bhubaneswar and more. Mr Satya knows the area extremely well - he grew up here - and is a wealth of knowledge about Bhubaneswar and India. I saw parts of the city l would never have discovered by myself. Apparently the morning tour has more activity going on, but l loved the cool and the evening light. Definitely take this tour!

    Splendid view from top. Felt relaxed. Worth visiting this place. There is a free lift that takes you the top from the base...use it
    From parking place where you slight from vehicle...there is no need to take a rickshaw to go to the base....it's a 4 minutes walk climb with a smooth road.
