Habali Khoti is a little farther away and offers a tiny forest lodge wherein guests can relax for sometime and appreciate the peaceful beaches.

Gahirmatha Marine Sanctuary

Gahirmatha Marine Sanctuary, India’s sole marine wildlife reserve, is situated to the eastern part of Bhitarkanika National Park which divides the area from Bay of Bengal.

Konark Eco Retreat: End-to-End Tour Guide

  • December 03, 2022

With every coming year Odisha Tourism organizes ‘Eco Retreat Odisha,’ a seasonal glamping festival with facilities comparable to performer hotels and resorts, at various locations around the state. Eco Retreat Konark glam camp, located on the exquisite Ramchandi Beach, offers breathtaking views of the famous Konark Sun Temple on one side and the Bay of Bengal on the other.

Konark Eco retreat is a plastic-free zone as the alternatives being used are dispensers for toiletries using wood almost everywhere and switching to using refillable glass bottles. To keep the form of land in its original conditions various steps have been implemented such as waste generated from residential areas was not dumped into the ocean or buried rather it is properly placed in a container in a ground dig which gets cleaned by every third day.

Tourists will be welcomed to cultural events, guided tours to neighboring places of nature, culture, historic, and architectural significance, and other recreational activities such as adrenaline-inducing water activities, volleyball, ATV rides, archery, and much more. Return to the luxury tent after a day of adventure and relax at a beach bungalow or escape to the air-conditioned camp for an extravagant end to the day. But it will be unfair to conclude the activities without providing you with explicit information on how you can top-up your visit to Konark!

Travel Across The Water Via Jet Ski

Jet skiing is considered an adventurous water sport which many people participate in when they are on a vacation at a seashore or water resort. It is a sport you can do either alone or with a partner. Aside from being a recreational activity, regular jet skiing provides numerous health benefits. Jet skiing necessitates muscle stabilization and a solid grip on the equipment using your body. This, in turn, promotes blood circulation throughout the body, allowing nutrients and oxygen to reach all portions. As a result, all the muscles are revitalized and nourished.

Banana Boat Water Sport Near The Sea On The Shore

If you are comparing this one to the fruit, you are partially right! A banana ride is a banana-shaped tube connected to a speed boat that pushes you along the water at great speed. To prep the ride, you will be provided with all the necessary safety information. Once on this Banana tube, you must hold on as tightly as possible even as the speedboat tries to flip the airboat by dropping its occupants into the sea. You can win the race if you remain excited and hold on tight!

Let The Power Rush Of Speed Boating Kick In

Speed boating is an activity and popular among tourists visiting Eco Retreat Odisha. Speed freaks who enjoy flirting with the water cannot help but climb into a speed boat. Such speed boats can transport six to eight persons at a moment and can be utilized as a mode of transportation. Speed is a popular hobby among adventure seekers.

Glide In The Air Through Parasail

Parasailing also called parascending, paraskiing, or simply parakiting is indeed a leisure kiting activity in which a passenger is carried behind a vehicle while tied to a specially built canopy wing, also called a parasail wing, that is similar compared to a parachute. The moving anchor of a manned kite could be an automobile, truck, or watercraft.

Wallow In The Mud

An All-Terrain Vehicle or ATV is a four-wheeler that may carry one or two people. Imagine it as a four-wheeled dirt bike. Riders on an ATV trip have the option of driving or riding as a passenger. You will see the countryside up close and from angles, you would never see traveling along the highway.

Recreational Activities For That Extra Fun

Feel free to try your hand in various recreational activities such as shooting, bow arrows, volleyball and more. Shooting sports are a variety of leisure and competitive athletic activities that involve accuracy, precision, and speed tests in aiming — the art of employing ranged weapons, typically small arms (rifles, shotguns, and airguns in forms such as pistols, rifles, and shotguns) and arrow shafts.

While volleyball makes for terrific outdoor activity to play for fun, regardless of ability level. It’s enjoyable equally on as well as off the net, and it’s an excellent chance to interact with new people or spend quality time with old ones.

Elevate Your Sense Of Balance

What better place than the one rounded by nature to enjoy some soul connecting yoga sessions. Yoga is much more than simply a great method to unwind; it is a holistic activity that benefits both the mind and body with the ability to boost fat metabolism, develop muscle strength, and promote flexibility, resulting in a more toned, lean-looking physique. And the spiritual city acts like a feather on the hat to upgrade your yoga experience better than ever!

Explore The Locals Using Sustainable E-Bike

To skip the fuss of the city you may opt for an E-Bike and hop on it to take a swirl around. An e-bike is indeed a bicycle that has an electric motor to assist you in moving. You ride it similarly to a regular cycle, albeit with less effort. It is definitely one of the preferable options when looking to overcome the rush of four-wheelers.

Away from the monotony, it is also supremely sustainable to make your ride an eco-friendly and a conscious initiative. You may explore the popular Sun Temple on an E-Bike and more such places to make a fruitful easy trip in the city!

More To Konark

While the list might be ending, there are so many activities for you to make memories in! Try your hands at Sand drawing, Sand Sculpture, Sand Brushing, and Sand architecture by taking a Sand Art class around. Create magic using your fingers for making abstract art using sand and give a new dimension to your inner artist. You may also unleash your inner trekker with the help of a certified guide who will arrange, execute, and provide directed hikes for you and your group.

The depth and sanctity of culture and heritage in the city is surreal to witness when the majority shifts to industrialisation and modernity. Konark is truly an epitome of rich legacy and repository of beautiful ancient buildings that stand durably strong till today. A visit to this city might instill the long lost vision of traditions in you and may spark enlightenment that energizes you with positivity!

How Corporate Glamping Is The Best Way To Connect With Your Colleagues

How Corporate Glamping is the best way to connect with your colleagues

  • December 01, 2022

Glamping is a popular modern camping option for multiple gatherings. Glamping entails sleeping outside in tents, however, these are luxurious ones, and glamping places usually provide clean water, scrumptious food options, as well as other amenities. Glamping sites in Eco Retreat Odisha offer corporate retreats as well, creating this the perfect corporate team building alternative.

Various activities for team-building are customized for different organizations according to their priorities and objectives. Glamping, on the other hand, has recently become a popular team building activity among businesses. Glamping is primarily a fancy way of saying camping. Thus, instead of having to carry your own tent and set it up, they will handle it for you. Besides, the tent will be equipped with beds, enabling you to sleep peacefully even when you are in the middle of the woods.

If you are an advanced business mogul seeking a unique organizational outing option, glamping might be the answer. The many advantages of corporate glamping for modern businesses are covered below.

An excellent way to encourage your employees

Many employees have been burned out and stressed over the last year. As an employer, you understand that your company can only be as great as its employees. If you want to stay in business and thrive in the following months, you must prioritize employee well-being in your business plans. After being stuck inside for over a year, a corporate glamping vacation could be the perfect way to interact with your team, have fun, and provide them with a new and innovative experience.

An excellent team-building exercise

Learning to communicate and cooperate as a group is difficult even in the best of circumstances. In today’s workplaces, where most employees work from home and new employees are enrolled remotely, it can be difficult to collaborate. A glamping trip could be an excellent way for a group to bond and connect. While glamping is less strenuous and thus more relaxing than traditional camping, you could organize a few great outdoor activities that would bring your employees together and enable them to feel like team members again.

A well-coordinated Glamping experience always entice guests

Glamping does not have to be limited to your internal team. If you want to impress a new client or business associate, taking employees on a corporate glamping trip could help you stand out. A well-planned corporate glamping trip may have an impact on them and make your business associate believe that your business is a feasible alternative to collaborate with. Corporate events and experiences are typically stuffy indoor events, so an entertaining and participating glamping trip might also set your corporation apart from the competition.

Planning a luxury Corporate Glamping trip is easier than you think!

If you are worried about how much effort and time it will start taking to arrange a corporate glamping trip, you are in luck. It is surprisingly simple to plan a one-of-a-kind and luxurious trip for oneself, your employees, and your business associates.

Glamping comes in a variety of styles

Every team is unique, and each person will have different priorities for team building activities. Similarly, everybody on the team will also have specific needs that must be met. Glamping is a versatile option; there are multiple kinds of glamping in the industry, so you can find one that works best for your team and then tailor components of the expertise to individual preferences if necessary. Glamping trips revolve around accommodations and establishing a luxurious variant of a camping experience, so you can host day trips or other team-building activities that the team will enjoy during the day.

Glamping Is the perfect corporate vacation option

The COVID-19 epidemic has had a significant impact on the hotel, travel, and tourism industries, leaving numerous team building and vacation choices unfeasible. Traveling internationally is difficult due to shifting international restrictions, thus most people and companies prefer to travel domestically. A glamping vacation is ideal for colleagues and corporate guests who are concerned about following the epidemic because as it did largely held outside, fun events can be spread out to guarantee everyone is separated and limit the transfer of bacteria and particulates. Glamping could be excellent for business leaders that are unsure about the future and want to keep their staff secure.

Most organizations are going sustainable

These days, an increasing number of businesses are embracing green. In addition, sustainable development has become a popular theme in a variety of industries. As a result, it is not surprising that many organizations opt to go glamping for team building activities.

Glamping is a more organic and environmentally sustainable way to connect with coworkers. Most glamping accommodations are constructed of environmentally friendly materials such as wood and include heating options such as the wood burner.

It is both native and affordable!

With more and more organizations opting for glamping events for team bonding, there are now several glamping alternatives available, the majority of which include amenities for activities that encourage teamwork. The best part is that the majority of these are reasonable and available nearby, so you will not have to go far to see these places. This can save the organization money on transportation and other expenses connected with traveling to distant places.

Glamping might be a novel and creative method to assist your employees and amuse company visitors. These suggestions should demonstrate the advantages of organizing a business glamping vacation and provide you with motivation to get started.

Perhaps the most significant advantage of luxurious glamping as a team bonding exercise is that it is an excellent chance to get away from the chaos of professional life. The melody of the breeze coming through the woods and birds chirping, not to forget the opportunity to participate in some pleasant activities, are certain to relieve stress.

Tips To Make The Most Out Of Your Glamping Experience

Top Tips To Make The Most Out Of Your Glamping Experience

  • November 30, 2022

The idea of glamping has truly been around for several years, but it is now beginning to take off, particularly for those searching for an alternative to beach vacations or city life breaks with a more luxurious touch to it. Glamping does not necessarily mean camping, but it must be done outside. The aesthetic of glamping allows you to step out of your cozy bed and walk into a field of grass, a bright sunny forest, or a sandy beach. It is solely you and the components on a glamping trip, just like camping. However, unlike camping, you will not get dirty or uncomfortable, nor will you be required to waste hours sticking tents into the mud.

Glamping is so much more than camping without the need for a tent. A typical beachside caravan park does not qualify as glamping. Glamping requires a tinge of luxe, albeit mostly of an unconventional variety. This varies by location, but think of antiques, furry floor coverings, wood burning open fires, and dim lighting. If you prefer the glitz to be old-school, look for a jacuzzi with a view.

Is it ideal for you?

Everyone should enjoy this kind of getaway given the variety of glamping experiences available. Glamping is now becoming extremely prevalent as an organizational activity for team building, for couples, family members, single people, and perhaps even a honeymoon destination.

When you decide to take a vacation in your own country or a short distance from your home, this kind of vacation is known as a “staycation,” and glamping is the ideal option for it. You will also observe that an increasing number of music festivals are giving glamping choices to their customers, which also include VIP access to music segments as well as other special offers.

However, there are many ways to organize tasks on your own so that you may avoid the difficulties of camping while still enjoying the thrill of adventure. Below are several expert suggestions for making one’s glamping experience extravagant and comfy.

A little planning goes a long way

A bit of glamping scheduling will enable the trip to the vacation spot to go much more smoothly.

After you have logged your reservation, we recommend contacting the property host instantly through e-mail or using the travel website. Skiing about their top picks to do within the location and if they have any special guidance for how to get there is hugely helpful. They are familiar with the specifics of the secret site and frequently offer additional insider info on rare treasures that you would not have discovered otherwise.

Printing out directions for taking a map in advance can help you save a lot of time. Since you are going on an offbeat path, one cannot count on GPS for several glamping adventures!

The fewer the better

Among the most significant advantages of glamping is that most of the setup is already finished for you. There is usually an electronic power supply and food preparation services available, making reading by evening light and simmering water for tea much easier than when you were camping on a regular basis. It is especially convenient not to have to carry your own containers, cookware, cutlery, and so on.

Pack lightly! Everything you require must fit in a rucksack, and meals in a small fridge. The whole idea of glamping is to relax, loosen up, and re-energize without having to carry around a huge amount of equipment.

Glamping organizers are skilled at offering the essentials for one’s visit and frequently go over and above by including luxe detailing such as little library services, picnic baskets with sleeping bags, and sometimes even robes and slippers.

One can always get by wearing sweatpants or athletic gear the entire time because you are surrounded by natural beauty. Trekking or running footwear and winter clothing are required. A camcorder, notepad, and pen will be useful for documenting the feelings that will eventually be able to flow smoothly. 

Abandon your cell phone at home if you can get away with it. Some locations have Wi-Fi, but having the option to detach for a couple of days is a luxury on its own.

Get dressed to succeed in the Glamping show

Your wardrobe packaging must be equipped with essential versatile pieces that can be used for multipurpose. Whether it is a beach side adventure or enjoying time in your luxurious Glamping tent, you must pack in such an order that you get maximum options with minimal packaging.

Eco Retreat in Odisha widens your scope to experiment with your style where you can take part in the beach side fun activities.

There are many places with various climates where you can try your hands at styling yourself in a minimalistic way. This includes Eco Retreat Konark, Eco Retreat Bhitarkanika, Eco Retreat Hirakud, Eco Retreat Satkosia, Eco Retreat Daringbadi, Eco Retreat Sonapur, and Eco Retreat Koraput.

In some places, there can be sweltering days and temperatures drop dramatically at night. Thus, make sure to check the temperature variation of your destination beforehand and pack accordingly.

Rise and Shine

Rise and shine with the birds to make the most of the moment! While napping is nice, none of it beats rising early in the morning, having coffee amongst tree trunks, heading for an early trek even before the heat of the day sets in, or trying to read near the water. 

Going on an adventure early in the morning not only expands your daytime but you might also stumble upon hidden spots for a thriller trek or just to finish a book that you were trying to finish for the longest time!

Not being rigid and allowing room for spontaneity

Although some planning is necessary to learn the destination, it is crucial to consider leaving plenty of open space in one’s glamping itinerary. When you leave enough room for improvisation, you might end up making some unexpected local discoveries and enjoy some leisure time. 

Once you put these suggestions into action, you will find that a break from your regular schedule is exactly what you require to represent the past, savor the current, and make plans mindfully.

Great Glamping Experience

Great Glamping Experience

  • November 29, 2022

Here’s what you need to know about a great glamping experience!

Travelling is an activity that almost every single individual has on their bucket list. Whether it be to the lofty hills, the green forests, the windy deserts or the great ocean, the marvels of nature stand in wait for the enthusiastic footfall they receive every season. To make the most out of it, glamping and camping have recently turned out to be quite favorable options for stay.

Glamping is a lot like camping with the only significant difference being that it allows glampers to equip themselves with the comfort of materialistic things to make their experience more comfortable and cozy. Majority of travelers are yet to get their hands on the concept of it; therefore, we solved it for you by all the explicit information you need to know before you plan a glamping staycation!

The Best Of Both Worlds

With a visibly enthusiastic spirit in people when it comes to exploring new places, some travelers enjoy the rugged experiences of camping while some prefer to delve into the oceans of luxury. Furthermore, there is also a considerable chunk of travelers that wish to unveil God’s flawless setting in peaceful comfort of their own. The raw and rough arrangements tagging along beds on the floor do not excite them but overwhelm them instead! They are nothing compared to the natural authenticity of being in the great outdoors.

Amenities to relax such as soothing folk music and bed of roses without giving up on the picture-perfect views of nature seal the deal for most travelers. While they may prefer to sleep on soft cushions and mattresses, they prefer to do so in tents where they can form a connection with nature. Is that not convenient, and relievingly so?

Facilities To Relish

While campers don’t mind the unavailability of restrooms and are usually okay with the idea of missing showers in case there’s no public facility around the area they’ve chosen to camp in, most glampers tend to be particular about their hygiene. The majority of glampsites are equipped with plumbing, washrooms, and hot showers to make the experience more suitable and comfortable for glampers.

Glampers also prefer to have home-cooked food and have refrigerators around them for chilled beverages to make the most out of the moment. Campers are the exact opposite in the sense that they cook their own meals using whatever resources are available in the wildlife. 

Staycation In The Wilderness

Majorly, with travelers wanting an immersive experience without trading off their comfort and the benefits of luxury; the advantage of glamping has notched up experiential traveling on a large scale, making it open to people skeptical of the natural ways. Safari lodges, canvas tents, floating cabins and much more; glamping offers you undivided serenity of nature with premium stays and exquisite services straight from the heart of grandeur. 

 

Evidently, judging by the inclinations of the majority today, better accessibility with ultimate convenience is popular on the travel charts at the moment. Wanderers whose go-to choice is camping are slowly merging right into glamping all because of a gorgeous mix of stunning attractions and mouth-opening interactions with nature at its most beautiful.

Why You should go Glamping today?

In our unavoidable fast-paced lives, there are a lot of reasons to hit pause occasionally with a break but the world of hustle culture leads to an unhealthily busy life that somehow blurs the possibility of a break for us and takes us away from the much-needed lush of greenery. It is essential to have weekend getaways rooted into nature to unwind deep amidst the wilderness. When paired well with luxurious furnishings, fine dining, and scenic views, it transcends into an unmatchable utility of a vacation.

It relaxes the mind, comforts the body and offers a refreshing outlook on life to the much thirsty soul. Glamping is dearly beloved among the current world because it speaks of self-care at its finest, least pretentious version and allows people to truly enjoy themselves in whatever capacity they believe would be most beneficial for them.

Authenticity Of Camping With A Touch Of Luxe

Much used to the idea of camping being restricted to the non usage of man-made facilities, trekkers and enthusiastic campers might understandably have a hard time making sense out of glamping but for couples looking for a romantic getaway or a group of families pursuing deep bonding amongst each other with comfort in hand, it might be the money well spent sought of a play. Bringing various forms of up top and elegant selection in each genre of hospitality, luxury of glamping can be made sense out of when you truly wish to connect with nature at a minimal cost.

Camping vs Glamping: All You Need To Know

Camping vs Glamping:
All You Need To Know

  • November 29, 2022

To be found right in the various folds and laps of nature, the colorful and rollercoaster-y world of camping extends a safe and enriching atmosphere embellished with the goodness of close-bonding activities, to all those who wish to bask in its entirety with willing enthusiasm. Glamping, on the other hand, is meant for people who are fond of the greenery but also sucker for all things luxury. But the luxe in glamping does not restrict the access to nature rather refines it instead!

The multifaceted flexibility of glamping and camping makes the various manipulations of the two both an easy, and welcomed feat to achieve. For instance, you can elevate the fun and enjoyment of your family’s camping trip by huddling together and exchanging stories of the past both long gone and recent over warm bonfires with soft s’mores. Or simply, you can dance on slow songs with your significant other with the voices of the night boosting your compatibility and love for each other. 

Camping- Chaos or Authentic?

Camping is wildly chaotic, often unpredictable owing to the randomness of the environment, messy BECAUSE it is unpredictable, supremely thrilling and a must-experience activity that you should add to your bucket list as soon as possible so you can wholesomely dive into the numerous memories it openly offers to make for you! It is also extremely beneficial for your health and has the most amazing pros that you can imagine, with noticeable changes!

Most people who are looking to interact deeply with all the sides of nature to also tap into their own hidden or, perhaps, suppressed parts, tend to be in awe of the idea of camping. It is heavy, extensive but it is truly something that will form a permanent place in the most memorable moments of your life. It is looking up at the stars and going to sleep with their twinkling selves flashing in your head as you succumb to your dreams. It is observing the tiniest, most colorful butterflies while remaining in touch with the not-so-friendly creatures of the night. It is peaceful, and full of wonder.

Camping is, thus, beauty at its rawest, most unchanged, waiting for acknowledgement and attention but perfectly content in their absence too.

Glamping- World of Luxury

Even though it rhymes with camping, glamping is fascinatingly exotic, freeing and revolves around maximum comfort above all, while carefully tasting the waters of camping from a safe distance, via a curious gaze instead of a sympathetic one. In other words, it offers the best of both worlds and accompanies your adventures spiced up by the exploration of nature with cozy and luxurious accommodations that will embrace you warmly every time you step even a foot inside them.

Glamping is a comfortable and snuggly narrative you can opt for to perceive nature silently, almost discreetly, and observe it in its most natural state without making it seem too evident. Thus, glamping shows you what it is like to be a part of nature, and you’re dealt with the feral extravaganza that follows the same.

The True Beauty Of Glamping

Camping tends to advocate for the rusticity of nature and your amenities are largely dictated by that structure alone. Glamping on the other hand is infinitely more equipped with all the basic needs you might have, and responds to your wants additionally, providing you the window through which you can fully converse with the symphonies of nature in whichever manner you please- whether it be directly interactive or simply just emotional.

The Difference, Then?

Camping and glamping are certainly not worlds apart but looking at the above-mentioned differences in particular, it is evident that camping is more affordable than glamping but both of them are equally capable of leaving you with incredibly refreshing experiences that will keep you company whenever you would want them to.

They share the common elements of emotion while also making the reader realize how similar these two are, and yet miles apart. Ultimately, the one you end up selecting depends entirely on the variations of your mood and expectations you have from the overall trip. They are understandably variable and so, you can swiftly play with them according to your own sets of preferences which makes them all the more appealing and thematically charged.

One is easily more challenging than the other, owing to the presence of unessential facilitators of comfort. Thus, it depends entirely on the person and what they want to experience. 

Unbeatable Similarities: Which One Is For You?

Although the two share completely different capacities in the very beginning, they have a certain charm of their own that goes noticed by everyone who interacts with their very experience individually or even collectively. Glamping is luxury infused in wilderness whereas camping is the epitome of wilderness and offers no comfort, only merciful brutality. Where glamping is grace and calmness, camping is free and has a will of its own.

Ultimately, what you choose won’t make much of a visible difference because both of them function quite similarly and their differences lie in close proximity with each other. They are crafted with the purpose of ensuring you have the most amazing trips/time with your loved ones and acquire the finest mental souvenirs ever, while also diving in the waters of whatever it is that you feel you need the most in the given moment.
