The 'Silk City' of southern OdishaGateway to Gopalpur-on-Sea & Taratarini~170 km / about 4 hours from the airport
Berhampur — long known as the Silk City — is the commercial hub of southern Odisha and the natural gateway to the region's coast and temples. It's a practical base for exploring the far south of the state.
What Berhampur is known for
- Silk and handloom — the city's centuries-old weaving trade.
- Tara Tarini Temple — a revered hilltop Shakti shrine a short drive away.
- Gopalpur-on-Sea — the quiet colonial beach town, about 15 km away.
Day trips into the Gajapati hills
Berhampur is also the launch point for the Eastern Ghats: the Taptapani hot spring, the Padmasambhava Mahavihara at Jirang and the ancient Mahendragiri hill temples. Combine them on our Berhampur Grand Day Tour.
