Daringbadi Nature Tour
Bhubaneswar — Daringbadi — Kandhamal
Daringbadi is called the Kashmir of Odisha for its pine slopes, coffee plantations and cool climate, but the seven-hour drive from Bhubaneswar means it only makes sense as a multi-night trip rather than a weekend dash. This itinerary works by breaking the journey with the Kandhamal district's tribal markets, turning transit time into sightseeing.
Two full nights in Daringbadi allow both the waterfall-and-viewpoint circuit and a slower coffee-estate walk, rather than compressing everything into a single overcrowded day.
Tour highlights
- Kandhamal tribal weekly market en route
- Daringbadi pine forests and coffee plantations
- Doluri river valley and waterfalls
- Hill viewpoints at sunrise
