6 Days / 5 Nights · comfort itinerary
Koraput Tribal Tour
Bhubaneswar — Koraput — Jeypore
A compact version of our tribal circuit for travellers who want the Koraput plateau — coffee estates, Kotpad weaving and one strong weekly market — without the extra two days needed to reach Rayagada's Dongria belt.
Six days is enough to absorb the overnight train, settle into Koraput for three full days, and add Jeypore and Duduma as a natural extension rather than a rushed side trip.
We recommend this shorter route to first-time visitors to the tribal belt, and the longer Tribal Odisha Tour to those who already have a sense of the region and want to go further into Rayagada district.
Tour highlights
- Overnight Hirakhand Express to Koraput
- Kotpad natural-dye weaving village
- One confirmed weekly tribal market visit
- Duduma waterfall on the Machkund river
- Koraput coffee plantation walk
