This being my first beach camping experience, I was excited and nervous at the same time. The beach is secluded, clean and serene. The food was yummy authentic local cuisine and the hosts (team Gilehrio) were on their toes always for any request/help. I only wished we could spot some olive riddley turtles during our stay. May be next time!

We went for beach camping at New Years. What to say everything was just perfect. From the traditional food in brass thalis, to the deserted tranquil beach and to the amazing people who took care of us! The Gundalba beach is surprisingly very clean, it's very remote and hence the tranquility. The people at the camp were very helpful and the food was delicious. The best time was the evening with a little breeze from the beach, lying on a hammock with my book. Guys! It's a once in a lifetime thing to be there. Don't miss out!

Freedom and privacy and services are very good. Nice place to spend a night. Bone fire 🔥 and moon light are so mesmerising.

Living with such a close association with nature along with experiencing the thrill of camping is what they provide. Never thought one could experience such thing in odisha. Great initiative by team.

Today we had the honour to visit Bibhu Maharana sir's house, it was such a privilege watch him paint and teach us the intricacies, techniques and authentic colour creations of Pattachitra. He fed us lunch and told us many stories. When I asked him, when people copy his work, does he feel bad? He smiled and said my work is to create, I don't think beyond that. I don't think if I will earn money, I don't think if my work is better or worse than others, I definitely don't think what if someone copies my work. I create, that's how God made us, to create. Not to compete or compare. This workshop was organised by Gilherio, Bhubaneswar. I will request all Odisha based artists, and beyond to take this workshop once. Not to learn art, but to learn the humility and knowledge a person requires to be an artist. ❤️

Great place to visit with family and friends, stay was blissful.. place is quite clean and serene.. beach is completely empty and one can enjoy the solitude and have fun at the same time(they have supervisors to guide)

Couldn't have chosen a better destination for camping being a first timer at affordable prices. The serene atmosphere, the morning view, the hospitality... Everything just fits right in. If you are a lover of nature and wants to get a step closer, then this is it.

Had a nice experience with Gilehrio. From the sea beach to the camp site, the bonfire and the food, everything was super cool and fun. Would surely visit again

Gilehrio offers you an authentic camping experience, as close to nature as it can get. Everything is simple about the place and gives you ample scope to chill. Extra points for the food. Have a feast with the local fishes and traditionally cooked vegetables and non-vegetarian meals. A must visit during winters.

The entire camping experience is awesome. Loved the simplicity. And loved the way the community gives us a feeling of being a part of their culture. And Bichi Bhai is a true inspiration and loved the company of Jaga Bhai.

The quite evening of full moon night on the sea beach. The cuisines prepared by local Fisher-women. Eco friendly set-up and very hospitable community.

As soon as you park your car, you can hear the gentle rumble of the sea, despite being unable to see it. When you walk into the woods towards that sound and people of the camp greet you with their simple gesture, at that moment you know in your heart that you have arrived at the right place. Camp Bichi is one of the best places to experience nature and simplicity. It is peaceful, clean, and surrounded by Casuarina trees and sea shells. One can hear the sound of sea, birds chirping and music of leaves so clearly. Oh! The sunrises and sunsets are sights to behold, sky full of colours. I haven't seen this beautiful sky anywhere else in Odisha. Either you sit on the shore and see small small crabs running around; you can play, dance or swing on a hammock gazing at the stars. Nobody is there to interfere with you except when it is meal time or when you want to hear their stories! Jahania, Manas n all are well trained, they know the art of appearing and disappearing. Hospitable staff, authentic delicious Odia food and trained dogs which follow guests to ensure their security. Visit once and you'll be in love with this place and camp people forever.

The experience at camp Bichi Gundalba is a sublime and serene experience. You can be closest to Nature with the beach on one side and the beautiful casuarina trees on the other. The camp is a cozy cordoned area right on the beach. The swiss tents are completely safe and secure. The bonfire at night is a befitting add-on to the experience. You can sit there singing songs or just silently gazing at the sea. The food remains simple yet tasty. And if you are fish-lover, you can enjoy from roasted fish over a slow fire. The hammocks provided are just the thing to lazy around on an early morning seeing the rising sun basking you in its orange hues. The hospitality is a genuine warmth which we otherwise miss in many big hotels. A big thumbs up!!

Best experience especially listening to waves at night . Food was good served in brass utensils .Spotting Olive Ridley turtle at nights

I felt as if it was a different world all together.Tents,music,bonfire,food everything was amazing.I could breathe fresh air and could walk next to the beach.It was fantastic.
