Explore Odisha, an overlooked state of India by most visitors. It offers striking 7th to 13th centuries old Kaligna temple architecture on the coast of Bay of Bengal. In the interior behind the Eastern Ghats range, 62 distinct tribes of the indigenous Adivasi people populate rugged highlands. In between, a vast tropical coastal plain battered by cyclones spans the East Coast of the state. Cycling Odisha is a travel pictorial narrating a bicycle journey across this region.
Written and photographed by an avid cyclist with many cycling journeys and book credits to his name, and a travel professional with four decades of adventure and study of Hindu art and architecture throughout India, South and Southeast Asia, Cycling Odisha paperback contains:
— 796 photographs;
– cycling details of the route stages and distances;
– a list of accommodations;
– and the route-related GPS cycling tracks you can download and follow as if a guide shows you the way.
Regardless of whether you are or are not a cycling enthusiast, or contemplate an adventure or a cultural journey of another kind in India, Cycling Odisha promises to entice any intrepid or armchair traveler with an interest in this region.
