It seems as though forests and woodlands are separate worlds. Once one sets foot inside, a whole other, life-filled world becomes revealed. One becomes soothed and invigorated within minutes of hiking in a forest that is hundreds of years old.

Satkosia is more than just a dense forest because River Mahanadi has enhanced Satkosia with its breathtaking beauty. The lovely vegetation will undoubtedly win you over. The scenic Satkosia Gorge runs through the region along the border between the Angul and Boudh districts of Odisha. It leads to the confluence of the Deccan Peninsula and The Eastern Ghats thus promising spectacular panoramic views.

Reasons to opt for Satkosia as your next destination

The charming beauty of Anusupa Lake

The largest freshwater lake in Odisha, The Ansupa Lake takes its name from the way it looks, which resembles a horseshoe (Ansupa). The lake's numerous colours throughout the rainy season provide a stunning spectacle, and the migratory birds' presence during the winter adds to the lake's vitality. The lake's boating amenities are an additional draw.

The Peaceful Nirvana at The Nilamadhav Temple and The Kapilas Temple

On the bank of the Mahanadi River, the temple is perched atop a tiny hill. The original manifestation of Lord Jagannath, Lord Nilamadhab, is revered. The area is lovely at dusk and well-known for its bell metal crafts. It is also India's second-largest village.

At a height of around 457 metres, the highest mountain in the Kapilas range is home to Chandrasekhar, a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. The location is linked to Kailash, the fabled home of Lord Shiva. In the months of February and March, thousands of pious people flock to Kapilas for Mahasivaratri, the night dedicated to Lord Shiva. Pilgrims frequently visit the hill's caverns and the remains of a mediaeval fort, which are located there.

Deer Park and Science Park are two further additions to this location that draw tourists.
