Gajlaxmi Palace | Best Heritage Palace Homestay in Odisha - Home Stay in Dhenkanal - Dhenkanal, India

One of the best place to stay and explore the nature. Rooms are aesthetically designed, staffs are very good and food is awesome. Surrounding forest gives the soul the much needed break from the chaos of the cities

Must visit.. this place will give you a great feeling of forest and also great hospitality. The location, food, rooms were awesome. There are few sightseeing nearby which you can go or just spend time in the property, the stay will rejuvenate you.

A beautiful place surrounded by verdant forests on the base of a green hill. If you go in the rainy season like we did you'll be able to see rain clouds build up over the mountains.. it's a lovely place with great hosts who will try to accommodate all your requests.

Thank you Sir and Madam for your warm welcome, good food and warm behaviour. We will try to visit again. It's a wonderful place for relaxing. We will miss you and also Traver ( Hope spelling is right) Thank you once again for arranging our stay.

One of the best Palaces on the top of a mountain inside their own private virgin forest. Elephants come near the water body situated behind the Palace. Love that place.The Owner of the Palace is a renowned hunter in India, who has killed many man eater tigers in his time.

Words are not enough to express how much we all loved our stay at the Gajlaxmi palace. So peaceful and quiet, surrounding by dense forests on all sides, the palace is a wonderful place for a detox from all the stress of urban life, with treks through the jungle as well spotting of various wildlife like birds, butterflies, wild boars and occasionally elephants. The place is made more wonderful by the lovely host family, Mr. JP, Madam Navneeta, their daughter and their precious Tabor, who are gracious, charming and amazing people on the whole. What we liked also was the fact that they were very welcoming to travellers with pets. Our 8 year old husky also had a great time. Food was excellent home-made stuff with both Odia and Rajasthani dishes on the menu. We stayed only for 2 nights, with a promise to return again and again for longer stays in future. Gajlaxmi palace is truly a great place to relax and enjoy the slower pace of life.

We had a great time when we stayed at Gajlaxmi palace! I would say that it was one of the highlights of my 3 weeks there. Treated like family, taken for lovely walks on the estate and the food was absolute deliciousness! We would love to come back here and can't recommend this place highly enough.

Elephants,wild boar s, leopard,deers are ocassional passerby. Jungle walk in the morning through narrow trails is very thrilling experience . You can visit tribal villages to get acquainted with dokra art,Joranda,Satkosiya, Saptasajjya, Kapilash,Ansupa lakes, Dhenkanal palace. In winter , migratory birds are seen in the water bodies inside the jungle
