Ekamra Walks is Bhubaneswar’s signature heritage and culture initiative — a curated series of guided trails that celebrate the city’s living history, art, ecology, and people. Designed by the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA), the walks invite citizens and visitors to explore the city beyond monuments — through its stories, traditions, and creative spirit. From the ancient temples of Ekamra Kshetra to the tranquil forests of Chandaka and the reflective peace of Dhauli, each trail offers a new lens to experience Bhubaneswar as a clean, green, and inclusive city. Anchored in the ideals of the Swachh Bharat Mission, Ekamra Walks connects heritage with responsibility — transforming every step into a celebration of culture, community, and civic pride.
