The Belgadia Palace in Mayurbhanj, immerse yourself in art, culture and history.

The Belgadia Palace, situated in Baripada, is approximately 225 KM from Kolkata. Belgadia Palace was founded in 1804, and it was the residence of the royal family of Mayurbhanj – The Bhanj Deo dynasty.

Baripada has always been known to be an entry point to Simlipal Tiger Reserve, which is famous for its tigers and elephants, in Odisha.

Constructed with a mix of Greek and Victorian architecture and Doric-Corinthian columns, the palace sits on a raised hill with sprawling lawns on either side. This Palace is not just a boutique hotel but it’s also a living museum that enshrines the history of the Bhanj Deo dynasty with multiple links to royal families of Rajasthan and Nepal.

The paintings and art around the palace juxtapose the untamed and ethereal beauty of the district. This luxurious heritage homestay with themed rooms and open verandahs, walking paths through mango orchards, refurbished furniture, and royal upholstery makes it a perfect place for a luxurious weekend retreat.
