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.

We checked in on 24th December 2023, rooms were smelly with cigarette smell. Bedsheet was not charged. But later on Mr Chitta Ranjan Swain took it to his hand and solved the issues. He is very co-operative person. Owner's behaviour is not pleasant. About the property you can check out my channel on YouTube: Unplanned Odia Vlogger. Starters in evening was very tasty but is chargeable as they only provide dinner and breakfast.

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 many 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 along 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.

* It was one of the worst experiences i had traveling. The place was dirty, uncomfortable, very noisy (a kitchen of another restaurant is just behind the tent were you sleep). Nothing matches with the expectation. Totally overpriced for what they offer. We booked and we were asked to pay all the amount of our stay in advance in order to confirm the reservation. They let us believe the the place was nearly sold out because of the Konark festival, but we were the only guest for all the time (6 days). Now we know why we were asked to pay all in advance. Because when you arrive and see the place a second later you want escape away as far as possible. The place is far from everywhere and you need a private transport to go around. They say that food is simple but local and tipical, but the reality is different: you can't eat this food because you can't trust that the kitchen has the minimum requirements of cleanness for considering safe the food and the test is terrible. Just avoid this place. This is my advice!

Excellent ambience, with authentic Odiya food. Calm n quite atmospher. State of the art cottages. Eco friendly ambience. Amazing odiya menu. Lovely hammocks to relax and spend your time with the nature.

Excellent place t spend time in natures lap with superb Odia Cuisine. The food at this place is just superb .And staffs are very skilled to handle National & International customers.There was gaming place where u can play carrom, chess and indoor games. Beach is nearby to enjoy water sports.

Though we only stayed one night, it was very pleasurable. It was also good to meet up with our old friend from Bhitarkanika, Chitta. We were even taken for a walk by the river by Shadow, the in house labrador!! The food was again good and the hospitality, brilliant.
