A little wilderness. A lot of Odisha…

A colorful garden with red and pink flowers in the foreground and a yellow house with a deck covered in green vines and trees in the background.

Svanir is a small family-run wilderness homestay tucked away in Dalua, on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar.

We built our own little wilderness here — an unmanicured garden, fruit orchard, native trees and the constant chatter of birds. A place where the city feels a little farther away and there is time to breathe, read, talk, eat and simply be.

But Svanir was never meant to be only a place to stay.

It became our way of sharing the Odisha we know: its villages, artists, weavers, food, festivals, landscapes and the people who keep its traditions alive.

Come for the quiet.
Leave with stories.

Night sky filled with numerous stars over a silhouette of trees.
A courtyard with yellow walls, a window with white frame, trees with green leaves, and a roof with blue tiles. Shadows of leaves are cast on the walls. There is a decorative red and white painted round container and potted plants. The overall scene is bright and lush.
Children wearing blue school uniforms are gathered around a small stage outdoors, with some children on the stage and others in the audience, under the shade of trees. The children are smiling, and one girl is holding a colorful paper craft. There is a woman in black with a scarf smiling nearby, and a large drawing of a tree is visible behind the children on stage.
Women and children sitting and standing outdoors in a lush green area with trees, engaging in conversation and smiling.
Two women planting a young tree in the soil while a man stands nearby, all outdoors in a lush green area.

Moments captured between morning tea and evening stars.
