Hello @Rajatsah007
Welcome back to LG Connect 
after many many years.
It is nice to know that you are looking to meet local guides in Odisha.
Here are a few tips and easy ways to connect with local guides in the shortest possible time.
1. Favorite Locations
To easily connect with Local Guides in your local area, you may want to try the Favorite Locations feature.
Go to your settings page and add up to 3 locations after which posts created by local guides from those cities will be listed on the main page.
Tip: If you are traveling to a new place temporarily, you can remove and add the new one. Changes reflect immediately. Following that you can connect with local guides from the new place.
2. Browse Older Posts
Browse through older posts of local guides from a place and check if they are still active and would be interested in a meetup. Chances are enthusiastic local guides did not find enough people to connect some time back and respond to your comments.
3. Private Messages
Send a private message to local guides using the feature here on Connect.
4. Upcoming Meetups
A meet-up is meant to explore new places and make friends with local guides in your community. Check for upcoming meetups in the Meet-ups section.
By clicking the Show All button circled (2) in the image below you can also search for meetups by location.
5. Previous Meetups
Leave a reply on past meetups.
Search The LG Connect community for the word recap that is used by most local guides in their post-meetup reports. You can then search through past meetups telling the local guides that you missed it and leave a request to notify you when the next meetup is hosted.
6. Conduct a meet-up
Use the Submit meet-up button circled (1) in the image above to host a meetup. This would be a great way to reach out to the local guide community in that place proactively.
7. Do not hesitate
Go ahead and post a message seeking local guides in a city like this person from Bangalore did and got a good response.
Ensure you add a location to the post as shown in the image below.
Hope you find these useful.
Meanwhile, introduce yourself to the local guide community here and get featured on Connect:

@TusharSuradkar thanks for your support sir. You may guide to reconnect the LG of odisha at a certain places. Your input or thought are really to be work out.
I would suggest getting in touch with moderator and guiding star @NareshDarji who might know a few local guides from Odisha.
You guys can then arrange a meetup.
Hi @Rajatsah007
