By the time you read this, this regal tent pitched on Konark&rsquos serene Ramachandi Beach will be gone, like a true-blue &lsquoeco retreat&rsquo. But, come December, it&rsquoll be back, to repeat the success of two seasons. It&rsquos a one-of-a-kind glamping experience, with en-suite toilets and all meals and most activities taken care of, allowing a deep immersion in nature in offbeat places where no concrete structure would be possible or desirable. Eco Retreat Konark offers unfettered access to the sea, on a litter-free private beach. Odisha has also set up Eco Retreats at Hirakud, Satkosia and Daringbadi.
