Visiting Orissa is like taking a journeying back in time, from the 'first people' tribes, to the temples and monasteries of the Buddhist and Hindu eras, to the time of the Raj. As well as exploring incredibly spiritual temples in Bhubaneshwar and Puri we will meet the tribal people at the Adivasi Tribal Fair, and mix with them in colourful markets and remote villages.

Adivasi Mela - Mix with members of the tribes of Orissa at the annual tribal fair where their cultures and traditions are celebrated
Local markets - Wander around colourful remote markets where people from the Bonda and Dongria Kondh tribes come - their only regular interaction with the wider world
Joranda - Witness the holy men of the Mahima Dharma religion as they perform their evening rites with fire and chanting
