Just 20 kms outside of Bhubaneshwar, the coastal town of Pipli attracts tourists all throughout the year. The main occupation of the locals here is handicrafts and textiles so you’ll see a spread of colours and textures in street-markets.
The destination offers a quiet getaway for those that enjoy both heritage and serenity. While you can try your hand at local arts, you could also set out from the town to visit other places of cultural heritage like the Konark Temple, the Chilka lake or the city of Puri.
