TENSA NATURE CAMP » AT A GLANCE

Tensa Nature Camp" is a community managed sustainable ecotourism initiative of Bonai Forest Division. The Nature Camp is located at "Tensa" which is known as "the Natural hill station of Sundargarh". At an altitude of 818 m. above MSL the place is of natural and cultural importance and hence has a lot of ecotourism potential. It is the most frequently visited hill station in Western Odisha by tourists; however, no accommodation facilities were there previously. One, who visits the place can explore the natural richness of the hilly forests of Eastern Bonai.

Just like a classic hill station destination, the place has pleasant weather throughout the year. Winter nights and early mornings are chilled.
