I went to explore a 1000 year old temple in Odisha with locals.

From surviving a brutal, sleepless night at a railway station fighting swarms of mosquitoes to packing my bag with zero hotel bookings, day two of the Sea to Summit expedition threw everything at me. I was fully prepared to pitch my tent at a petrol pump for the night, but Indian hospitality had other plans. A chance encounter with some incredibly kind locals turned my night around—they invited me into their home, shared their space, and took me along to explore the historic, 1000-year-old Chandaneswar Temple in Odisha. This journey isn't just about moving from the sea to the mountains; it's about the raw, unfiltered kindness of the people you meet along the way.
