The Legacy of Kila Dalijoda

Where History
Comes Alive

Nestled in the verdant landscapes of Odisha, Kila Dalijoda stands as a testament to an era when royalty walked these corridors and the jungle echoed with tales of grand hunts and grander celebrations. This exquisite hunting palace, once the private retreat of the region's nobility, has witnessed centuries of history unfold within its walls.

Built during the height of royal patronage in Eastern India, the Kila served as both a strategic outpost and a sanctuary where generations of the royal family sought respite from the formalities of court life. Today, it opens its doors to discerning travellers seeking an authentic connection with India's aristocratic past.

Every stone, every archway, every whisper of the wind through the ancient trees carries stories waiting to be discovered by those who venture here.
