Best Time To Visit Odisha

Local and travel experts would agree that the best time to book a holiday package for Odisha is from October to March i.e. during the winter season. The summers in Odisha are very uncomfortable with scorching heat and frequent rain showers during the monsoon from July to September become a hindrance in visiting the various Odisha points of interests.

orissa tribal tour

How a trip to India taught me mums are always right

“Hazel, avert your eyes,” muttered Dad, fixing his own gaze firmly on the floor. All around us, etched into the temple’s stone walls, scenes from the Kama Sutra loomed large: mini figurines with mighty appendages, buxom concubines spread-eagled in stone. Phalluses as far as the eye could see. “I wonder what’s in the gift shop,” I joked weakly, our step quickening as we caught sight of Mum – she, too, looking rather red-faced. Konark Sun Temple: a majestic 13th-century Hindu shrine, one of India’s greatest Unesco-listed treasures… and an X-rated sex sanctum, too. Who knew?

This was never going to be a normal family holiday. For starters, it was our first far-flung jaunt since the seaside trips of my childhood. While I have made a career out of travelling the world, my parents have been largely content to stick to Spain – with one exception. They hankered for India, but it was always too big, too tricky and too expensive to justify.

Last year, however, fate served a deafening call to take the damn trip. As my dad braved two open-heart operations, India became a talisman: if we could get through the worry, the pain, then we would go there together. Treat ourselves. Even booking the tour was a triumph.

“I’m taking a travel kettle,” Mum had announced at home. “And tea, mugs, powdered milk …” I scoffed. A kettle? “In case we don’t have one in the hotels,” she explained. “I’ll pack foot cream, biscuits, Dettol wipes, Carex soap…” I rolled my eyes, already reverting to teenage truculence. Not a good start. But really, an adventure holiday is no place for foot cream.

Our destination was the tribal heartlands of Odisha (formerly Orissa), an unfrequented area on India’s north-east coast. Until a few years ago, much of the state was gripped by insurgents and off-limits to visitors; its mountains, home to some of the country’s oldest indigenous tribes, were cut off from the world. But now, Odisha is inching open to visitors. “I want to see authentic India,” Dad had said, flicking through the itinerary with gusto. “Not some tourist honeypot. I want to see real people, real life.”

“Is this real enough for you?” I teased as we were swept up by the jostling, jubilant pilgrims at Puri’s Jagannath Temple – dodging sauntering bullocks, screeching motorbikes, and huge vats of bubbling dhal sold by vendors. “No, not yet!” he shouted above the din, grinning. It was a joke we carried with us, through the markets and tribal mela (festival) of Bhubaneswar; the deafening Hare Krishna drumming parade that enveloped us in Dhauli; and the village wedding party that stopped our tour bus and insisted we get out and dance.

Mum and I, meanwhile, took our mother-daughter shopping trips on tour – strolling arm-in-arm through markets, snapping up sarees and trinkets. We watched as artisans spun silk threads into feather-light scarves, and met basket-weavers, lantern-makers and metalworkers – our suitcases straining as we spent our way south.

Our excellent guide, Satish Dhar, smoothed the way at every turn: translator, fixer, historian and master storyteller, his glossy moustache dancing as he spoke. “I respect you travelling together,” Satish said one evening; “family is important in India, but I rarely see whole families from Britain. Yours, I think, is a tight bond.”

So what of the kettle? I’m afraid to say I caved in quickly on that one. Mum was right (aren’t they always?): as we left the cities behind, the hotels became simpler – and the humble in-room tea sets disappeared. But not for us! Every evening, we put our feet up with PG Tips – a little luxury that I, hypocrite daughter, was all-too happy to enjoy.

I also watched, delighted, as Mum’s preoccupation with Delhi belly and Dettol fizzled out. Soon, both parents were ordering hot curries and sipping creamy lassi (“hair of the dog,” quipped Dad). My stomach, meanwhile, became somewhat over-spiced; but Mum came to the rescue again, wielding her inexhaustible first-aid stash. The foot cream, however, remained unused.

Travelling up into those tribal mountains, we left the coast’s coconut palms and banana trees far behind. Our minibus passed fields of leggy sunflowers and cotton bushes, their little white pom-poms jigging in the cool breeze. On steep inclines, as the bus wheezed its way upwards, I counted rows of plump pumpkins and cauliflowers – overlooked by lonely scarecrows, their heads fashioned from up-turned clay pots. Beside me, Mum tittered at Woman’s Hour podcasts, while Dad click-click-clicked his way through untold memory cards.

One morning, the bus pulled up on an empty, dusty track. “This village belongs to the Kutia Kondh tribe,” said Satish. We peered out at huts made from red earth and bamboo: beside each one lay a large heap of turmeric roots, the local cash-crop. There was nobody in sight. “The local people are quite shy,” Satish explained as we stretched our legs. “But there is somebody I would like you to meet.”

When she saw us, Joginder squealed, then dashed back inside her house. Moments later, she emerged with her husband in tow, giggling nervously as she tugged at his arm. They grinned at the visitors in their yard, unsure what to do next. Joginder had clear brown eyes, and wispy silver hair swept up in a bun, but it was her face tattoos that we all noticed first. The dark lines stretched across her cheeks, her chin, her forehead: though the marks had faded with age, they were still ruler-straight.

“Those tattoos were done when she was just a child,” Satish explained. “All the tribe’s girls had them. It was to make them unattractive to colonialists, so that they wouldn’t be abducted.”

Joginder sidled up to Mum, studying her quietly. “They don’t know how old they are, or how long they have been married,” translated Satish, “but they have many grown-up children.” Mum pointed to me, then made a cradle with her arms: “This is my baby,” she said proudly. I rolled my eyes, laughing this time, and Joginder’s giggles returned.

Many of Odisha’s tribal villages remain closed to tourists, so we visited the communities’ markets instead, mingling with the tattooed turmeric farmers of the Kutia Kondh and the matriarchs of the Dongria Kondh. The latter arrived in battered pick-up trucks, their hair pinned with sharp hunting knives, and their bare torsos covered with long beaded necklaces. Ready to barter, they piled their heads with pineapples and tamarind pods.

Higher up in the hills, the Bonda tribe is ruled entirely by women: zealous traders and fearless hunters, who sport buzz cuts and gold-studded nostrils. At their market, we watched as they quarrelled over the price of liquor, before tipping it into “wine pipes” – to be swigged as they perused the vegetable stalls. A handful of men snoozed in the shade: unable, perhaps, to hold their hooch. The women largely ignored us, swooshing past in their cobalt cloaks and glittering bangles. “They are the bosses,” explained Satish. “When they marry, their husband’s family has to pay a dowry: that’s how they get all that gold jewellery.”

That afternoon, we hiked to the top of a waterfall – a huge, roiling cascade that thundered over the cliffside. Sweat-soaked, spray-soaked, we three peered from the edge, whooping and laughing into oblivion. The heart operation, those intensive care visits: were they really just one year ago?

I was so caught up in my thoughts, I didn’t notice the wonky path as we walked back – but I certainly felt the sharp twist of my foot. Ankle burning, I hobbled to the bus, while Mum looted her handbag for bandages. There I was, a mid-thirties woman of the world, being patched up by my wonderful mother. I blinked back the tears. “Ibuprofen and elevation,” she prescribed with a wry smile. “And perhaps a bit of that foot cream?” For once, I didn’t disagree.
