Odisha Old Town walking tour
Branka S,,Nov 24, 2025

5.00Walking through Bhubaneswar’s Old Town already feels like stepping into a living museum, and having a guide like Mr. Sumnat Babu Das clearly made it even richer. I will describe it — short walks between temples brought to life with stories of Shiva, Parvati, Vishnu, and other threads of India’s mythology — captures exactly what makes Odisha’s temple heritage so special. The tour was organized through 5 Senses; they’re known for focusing on immersive, story-driven experiences rather than just sightseeing, so your impressions match their reputation well.

5.00This was a brilliant walking tour. Mr Satya was really friendly, interesting, and knowledgeable. He clearly has a passion for the temples and their history. As well as beautiful temples, l saw so much more as well: pilgims lodgings, markets, streets of Bhubaneswar and more. Mr Satya knows the area extremely well - he grew up here - and is a wealth of knowledge about Bhubaneswar and India. I saw parts of the city l would never have discovered by myself. Apparently the morning tour has more activity going on, but l loved the cool and the evening light. Definitely take this tour!

5.00Our tour was great. Sarat was waiting for us on time where we were told to meet ready to start the tour. He knew a great deal about the temples and shared his knowledge in a captivating manor. The temples we saw were beautiful. I recommend taking this tour it was a great way to see the temples and see a little bit of Bhubaneshwar. Along with his wealth of knowledge Sarat was also a very personable character. Thank you.
Fascinating and Educational!

5.00My guide was really knowledgeable and I learned a great deal about what to look for on and around the local temples. He was kind to me when I was getting hot and needed to stop. On the drive to the tempke areas he told me about the city - how it was growing and other important sites. A terrific experience!

5.00Nayak was our guide and we had a terrific time in this Bhubaneswar walk. It was literally a time travel for us as we visted ancient temples and bazaars. The stories behind the temples was told in a very crisp and enjoyable way. The guide was very knowledgeable and knew his history. We had a memorable walk getting to understand Bhubaneswar and Odisha through its rich past. I would very highly recommend this walk for everyone visiting Bhubaneswar.
