ABOUT US
"A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots"- Marcus Garvey.
Orange Odyssey was established with an aim to make people aware of their rich history and heritage. It was founded by Amol & Mandira, the two passionate architects who themselves are travel & history enthusiasts. They are proud of their homeland and the vivid culture of Nagpur and Vidarbha. Although Orange Odyssey was formally started in 2019, the duo is involved in conducting heritage walks and tours since 2017.
We organize Heritage walks and Cultural tours to enlighten tourists and locals alike about the heritage of Nagpur and Vidarbha. We are heritage & cultural experience curators and provide thoughtfully curated experiences by customizing the destinations for curious travelers. Since we are architects, our tours and experiences are consciously designed. We provide quality and luxurious tours to places of historical and cultural importance. We strive to give in-depth information, facts, and stories so as to create an enriching and one of a kind experience for all.
