Dhauli is almost 8 kms to the south of Bhubaneshwar. From Bhubaneshwar, one can reach Dhauli via road either by bus, taxi or auto rickshaw. Dhauli is a living testimony to the change of heart of Emperor Ashoka after the Kalinga war. So, your Tour to Dhauli would offer you an enjoyable experience.
During your Dhauli Tour, don't forget to pay a visit to the "Peace Pagoda" which is also known by the name of Shanti Stupa. Located upon a hill, this alluring white structure is a popular tourist destination of Dhauli. Shanti Stupa is a Buddhist structure that was built in 1972 jointly by the Kalinga Nippon Buddha Sangh and the Japan Buddha Sangh. From the hill top, you would get a magnificent view all around the hill. The vast green expanse of paddy fields that sway along with the breeze and the cashew trees offer a soothing sight. Travel to Dhauli also offers the chance to see the meandering River Daya.
