Jeypore
A former princely-state town near Koraput, useful as a base for the wider tribal and Eastern Ghats circuit rather than a sight in itself.
Jeypore was the seat of a former princely state and retains some old palace-era buildings, but its practical role today is as a comfortable base with better accommodation options than smaller Koraput district towns.
Most visitors use it as a stopover between Koraput town and the weekly markets or waterfalls further out, rather than a dedicated sightseeing stop.
Why visit
- Former princely-state town with some heritage buildings
- Practical base with better accommodation than surrounding towns
- Central point for reaching Koraput's weekly markets
- Gateway toward Deomali and Duduma waterfall
Things to do
- Walk through the old palace-era part of town
- Use as a base for day trips to weekly haats
- Visit nearby craft and weaving communities
- Rest stop on the Koraput circuit
