Ansupa Nature Camp
The Horse Shoe Shaped Lake On The Foot Hills of An Ancient Fort
About
Ansupa is located 50kmfrom Cuttack and situated in the middle of the state highway connecting Athagarh and Banki block of Cuttack district. Spread across 382 km, Ansupa is the largest fresh water lake in Odisha.The lake derives its name from its shape which is like a horse shoe (Ansupa). During the rainy season the many hues of the water makes for a beautiful sight and the presence of the migratory birds during winter adds to the vibrancy of the lake. Boating facilities available at the lake are an added attraction.
The ruins of an ancient fort on top of the Saranda hill adjacent to the lake adds to the charm of the place and provides a panoramic view of the lake. There is no definite history on the origins of the fort, one of the popular legends is that the King of Saranda had chosen to build a fort at the hilltop for his safety. The Baruda Ghar (ammunition store), two wells and metal door entrance to the fort along with a few structural remnants are all that remains today.Â
