Our Place

For the Wild Heart. We are a stone throw away from the heart of Bhubaneswar, yet far enough to escape the hustle bustle of the city. Here you can wake up to bird calls rather than human commotion. Indrani takes special care of your dietary needs and food on the table is always freshly cooked.

Svanir is an eco-conscious homestay offering sustainable stays, immersive nature experiences, and local cultural engagement.

  • Svanir mimics the beautiful yet minimalist โ€˜Santhalโ€™ (tribal community of Odisha and Bengal) homes and their bond with nature. Weโ€™ve consciously kept the built-up area to a minimum so that travellers can wake up to bird songs or glimpse a bird at the window while enjoying a morning cup of tea. At Svanir, we hope to attract the new-age travellers who want to explore, immerse, and interact with the local community. Soumya & Indrani are passionate about offering a tranquil and enchanting experience to our guests, where they can rediscover themselves, bond with their loved ones, and appreciate the beauty of the surroundings and nature. We are also committed to making a positive difference in the lives of the local community, especially women, by giving them a chance to work and learn new skills.

  • Svanir isnโ€™t designed as a hotel. Guests are treated as extended family members and looked after similarly. Meals are prepared from organically grown or locally sourced fresh vegetables. At all meals, at least one member of the family dines with the guests engaging them, if they so wish to, in conversation that may range from the general to specifics. Obviously, therefore, we are discerning about who we are inviting to stay at our home. Inside the property we organize a walk around trees and the many stories attached to them like the lemon tree which started fruiting only when we started living here or the infant Jackfruit tree which had to be taped together (Cyclone Fani caused a immense amount of damage in Puri & Bhubaneswar) and now has flourished. Like the Japanese concept of โ€˜Forest Bathingโ€™, guests seem to find the walk and its after effects quite relaxing. Closer to home, we take our guests to explore our village surroundings. A leisurely stroll takes us along mango orchids, coconut plantations, a traditional village temple under a tree, paddy fields, a lily pond and finally if interested to see how the villagers live.

From creating cozy corner for World Travellers, where they can feel at home to leading curated, immersive and personalized tours. We believe in slow travel and help guests to get the insider's access to Odisha

  • The founders of Svanir are Indrani Chakraborty and Soumya Mukherji. Soumya has more than 10 years of experience in the travel domain, travelling all over the Indian subcontinent to make friends with locals and using their insights to develop unique experiences for inquisitive, savvy travellers. Indrani, on the other hand, was a hardcore marketing specialist for an international company. Her travels through the interiors of Odisha for work made her fall in love with the state. The couple followed their hearts and left behind the hustle and bustle of the city to create a homestay that celebrates their love for nature and people.

  • We want travellers to embrace โ€˜slow travelโ€™ and enjoy the simple pleasures of life like waking up to birds songs. Going for long walks and have meaningful conversation with their loved ones.

Svanir Experiences highlights the cultural and community treasures of the state, through the eyes of its artisans and architecture

  • Practices like rainwater harvesting, recycling greywater in the garden, organic farming, minimum use of single plastics, and the use of the traditional bucket and mug system in the bathrooms are some of the green practices which the homestay follows.
    All of our staff comes from the village that we share our address with.

  • We organize walks within the property to acquaint guest about indigenous plants and stories about holistic healing. As awarded photographers and who love the craft, we are always eager to impart our knowledge and conduct photo walks. For artists or anyone who wants to learn and new art form, we would be happy to organise workshop with local artists to learn Pattachitra paintings, terracotta, coir craft etc (at a cost).
    Indrani conducts cooking classes for inhouse guests.
