Bhubaneswar to Similipal National Park Expedition – A Memorable Family Journey
LAXMI MYPURITOUR,Apr 30, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00In January, I went on a Bhubaneswar to Similipal National Park expedition with my family, and it turned out to be a beautiful mix of road trip excitement, nature, and peaceful moments. We started early from Bhubaneswar, and the drive itself was quite enjoyable. As we moved away from the city, the surroundings slowly changed into greener landscapes, small villages, and quiet roads. The journey felt smooth and refreshing, especially with the cool winter weather. Reaching Similipal was truly special. The fresh forest air, dense greenery, and calm environment made us feel instantly relaxed. It was a perfect break from busy daily life. During the visit, we explored parts of the forest, saw scenic views, and spent time near waterfalls, which became one of the highlights of the trip. Traveling with family made the experience even more meaningful. We had enough time to enjoy nature, take photos, and simply sit back and relax in a peaceful environment. What made this expedition special: Enjoyable road trip from Bhubaneswar to Similipal Beautiful forest landscapes and natural surroundings Peaceful and less crowded environment Great experience for family bonding and relaxation Helpful Tips for Travelers: Start early from Bhubaneswar to make the most of your day January is a great time due to pleasant weather Carry water, snacks, and basic essentials Follow forest rules and respect nature Plan your route and entry timing in advance Overall, this expedition is more than just a journey—it’s a refreshing escape into nature. If you are planning a family trip in Odisha, the Bhubaneswar to Similipal route is definitely worth experiencing. It’s not just about reaching the destination—the journey itself becomes a beautiful memory.
