Taptapani Atri Hot Springs in Orissa

Hot Springs in Orissa

Taptapani
The bubbling hot spring of Taptapani lies deep in the forests and high on a hill around 50 km from Berhampur. The waters, believed to have medicinal properties, are also piped directly into the bathrooms of the Pantha Niwas (tourist bungalow). The beauty of the rolling tribal inhabited hills is an added bonus.

Tarabalo
In the Nayagarh district, Tarabalo is famous for a cluster of hot springs dotted over an area of 8 acres. Located 75 km from Bhubaneswar, it makes a delightful spot for outings and picnics.

Atri
Situated about 42 km from Bhubaneswar, Atri is best known for its hot sulphur springs and the famous Shrine Lord Hatakeswar temple. The waters of the spring remain at a constant 55 degrees-Centigrade (131 degrees F) and are believed to have medicinal properties. Tourists can enjoy steam bath in the Bathing Complex, located close to the spring. The winding highway leading to Atri is lined with neem (margosa), banyan, and peepul trees, and passes through scenic rural countryside making even the drive here a delightful experience.

Deulajhari
90 km from Angul, near Athamalik, are the famed hot springs of Deulajhari. The hot spring seems to flow from the bottom of a Shiva Linga, and is channelised to 36 ponds on the outskirts of the Shiva temple. Believed to contain medicinal properties, a bath in the spring has religious importance too.
