Once in a lifetime - 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!

Must experience in life - 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.

Serene experience at affordable prices - 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.

Awesome Time - 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.

Fantabulous - 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.

Absolutely loved the place! - 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!
