Bhai,
Jai Jagannath.
Its nice to see the places of Odisha in the site.
Its good and ok But this information will not attract any tourist.
As more or less every one know this, the ignorance of our ancient state.
It is no where given importants in the map of tourism.Our Government also very poor,in this regard. I never could be able to understand, what is the barrier to promot Our State Odisha’s Tourism. Pls do something.Here you can see Kerala’s site advertisement.Why ? We the people of Odisha staying out of state, always waiting for a order.Pls tell us your problem. Hence we can come out to give you help.pls do reply.I love my motherland Odisha.Bande Utkala Jajani. Thanks and Regards. Ashit
Nice to see the site.My Rourkela is d best!!!
This is the nice place in Sundargarh zone. I love that place.Nice for hill tracking.
Undoubtedly this is one of the best place in India. Anyone who have visited this place will never forget the lovely, greenish, beautiful and heart touching sites of Khandadhar.
I have visited this place four times during the month of January for Picnic, and each time it feels like I have came to a new place.
It feels very bad when one has to leave his birthplace (ROURKELA), but I am always looking forward to comeback to my hometown and do something for the betterment of my lovely state, ODISHA.
I am frm ctc. I visit khandadhar once. It’s awesome spot. It’s God gift for us. But shame to our gov policy for promot our tourism spot.
Even khandadhar is not exist in google map.
I want to visit this place once again in my life.
very nice place and cool also
it is a very nice place in remote sundergarh district of Odisha, but now it is in the path of destruction due to industrialisation in the state. cruel eyes of the mine mafias ruin it in short time. our future generation will only read about it in in geography.save it……
Govt of Odisha has chosen this to promote gay tourisum in India.
govt. of odisha hav to donate some finance for it’s development .I feel proud bcoz my village is nearer from this spot.
