All you have to do, is give it time. And if you’re patient enough, Mother Nature will reverse this trick. Just one of its ways of showcasing its prowess, reminding us just how tiny we are as souls as opposed to the existence of the universe. It’s a chain of thoughts that can spiral your imagination endlessly unless you’re brought back to reality by a splash of waves hitting the shore a little too hard.
The vanishing act orchestrated by Mother Nature at Chandipur Beach is nothing short of a mesmerizing spectacle. Situated 200 kilometers away from Bhubaneshwar, this coastal marvel showcases a rare and unique phenomenon that leaves visitors in awe. While tides are a global occurrence, the sheer magnitude of water receding into the beach sets Chandipur apart. During low tides, an additional five kilometers of the sea surface is unveiled, providing an extraordinary arena for adventure.
Embarking on this expedition, I found myself behind the wheel of the Suzuki Jimny, a vehicle perfectly tailored for such unique journeys. The Jimny, like us mere souls, may be diminutive compared to other celestial entities, but it emits an insatiable hunger for exploration. When the roads end, it can genuinely put other vehicles to shame - and it does so not by bringing some absurdly high power figures to the table, or by boasting of large dimensions. It does that by being light-footed, playful, and most importantly, skillful. These capabilities are what give you that sense of liberation.
