Rourkela

Rourkela is a large industrial town, surrounded by undulating hills and encircled by rivers. Rourkela is famous as the steel city of Odisha. Keeping pace with industrial growth, the well-planned town has become the nerve centre of all social and cultural activities of the Sundargarh District.
The place is home to a 22 m statue of Hanuman that stands within a complex at Hanuman Vatika. It is the most convenient base for visiting other interesting places in the district. About 32 km from Rourkela is the dam at Mandira offering boating facilities.
