India /Orissa / Balasore / Chandipur

Chandipur is located in the Indian state of Orissa. This town is an important tourist destination in the Balasore district. Chandipur is an unexplored sea resort that has pristine beaches and clear blue waters. Tourists mainly flock to Chandipur for this reason, as it is a virgin location with white sands where people can spend some peaceful times, minus the hustle and bustle of general tourist hotspots. There are not many important must visit destinations in the town of Chandipur that you can visit, as the town is primarily known for its vast beach. You can, however, take a trip to the nearby town of Panchalingeshwar from Chandipur. This town has a major temple that is dedicated to Lord Shiva. This temple, a pilgrim favorite, houses five lingams that are considered very sacred by Hindus. You can also visit the temples located in the town of Sajanagarh, located at a distance of around five kilometers from Chandipur. A temple called the Chandi Temple is located in Chandipur, and this is also quite famous. Religiously inclined individuals can visit the Jagannath temple in Nilagiri Nalagiri. Nilagiri Nalagiri was the capital of an erstwhile princely state, and the Kuldiha Sanctuary located in this region is also a very popular place among tourists.
