Nilgiri Palace Complex
The Nilgiri Palace Complex in Balasore district covers the broader estate precinct — palace buildings, courtyards, and administrative structures — making it a fuller heritage experience than a single building visit. It's well set up for a half-day trip, with easy vehicle access and on-site shade, toilets, drinking water, and parking. The months from October to March offer the most pleasant conditions for exploring the open grounds. A small entry fee applies; see the fast facts for the current rate.
