Sambalpur In Odisha Back On Itinerary Of Foreign Tourists

Sambalpur, located in Odisha, is renowned for its breathtaking lush green landscapes and traditional heritage weaves. The Sambalpuri weave, a form of Ikat handloom, involves tie-dyeing the yarn before the weaver begins their intricate work. As a result of the pandemic, the region saw a decline in tourism. However, over the past year, Sambalpur and its surrounding areas have experienced a noteworthy increase in the influx of foreign tourists visiting its popular destinations. According to local news media, a tourism department report confirms a substantial increase in the number of foreign tourists visiting Sambalpur for the first time in four years.
