5N/6D Daringbadi, Gopalpur & Rambha Tour

Escape Odisha’s contrasts on the 5N/6D Daringbadi, Gopalpur & Rambha Tour, from the cool pine-clad hills of Daringbadi to the warm sands of Gopalpur and the tranquil lagoon vistas of Rambha. This 5N/6D Daringbadi, Gopalpur & Rambha Tour blends scenic drives, plantation and valley views, quiet beaches, island cruises on Chilika Lake, and Eastern Ghats sunsets into one relaxed, nature-filled getaway.

Day 1: Arrival in Bhubaneswar – Long Ascent to Daringbadi

Arrive in Bhubaneswar and meet our tour representative at the airport or railway station. Set off early for Daringbadi in the Kandhamal hills, roughly 247 km and around 5.5 to 6.5 hours by road via NH16 and NH59. This is a long travel day, built as one — an early start is essential to clear the winding Ghat section in daylight. Break the drive with a lunch and leg-stretch en route. Arrive in the late afternoon, check in at the Daringbadi Nature Camp or a hill resort, and settle in by a bonfire as the temperature drops sharply after dark. Overnight stay in Daringbadi.

Day 2: Daringbadi Sightseeing – Pine, Coffee, Valleys and Viewpoints

A full, unhurried day among the hill station’s spread-out sights, rewarding the long drive of Day 1. Visit the pine jungle and the coffee and pepper plantations, the Emu farm at Kirikuti (about 14 km out), Lover’s Point where the Doluri river winds through the valley (about 13 km), the Butterfly Park, and the sunset viewpoint. The pleasure is the cool climate and scenery rather than a checklist. In peak winter, dawn can bring frost — a rarity found nowhere else in Odisha. Overnight stay in Daringbadi.

Day 3: Descent to Gopalpur – From Cold Pine to Warm Sea

After breakfast, check out and descend from the hills to the coast, transferring to Gopalpur-on-Sea, roughly 130 to 140 km and around 4 hours by road via Berhampur. This is the trip’s signature day — cold pine hills to a warm golden beach in a single drive. Check in at your beachfront hotel or the OTDC Panthanivas. Spend the late afternoon on the calm, swimmable sand, ending at the colonial-era lighthouse for a panoramic view over town and the Bay of Bengal. Overnight stay in Gopalpur.

Day 4: Gopalpur at Leisure – Beach, Lighthouse and Optional Rushikulya

A full beach day and the trip’s rest. Sunrise over the bay is Gopalpur’s signature; the rest of the day suits swimming, walking, seafood and the old port-town character. In turtle season, an optional excursion runs to the Rushikulya coast (about 45 km), subject to access restrictions and the unpredictable arribada. Otherwise, browse for Ganjam handloom in Berhampur. Overnight stay in Gopalpur.

Day 5: Transfer to Rambha – Chilika Island Cruise

After breakfast, check out and transfer to Rambha at the southern end of Chilika Lake, roughly 40 to 45 km and around an hour by road. Check in at the OTDC Panthanivas or a lakeside resort. In the afternoon, set out by boat across the calm southern lagoon to the island cluster — Breakfast Island (Barkuda) with its colonial ruins, Honeymoon Island, and a stop at a lake viewpoint. Rambha is the quietest and most scenic of Chilika’s hubs, ringed by low hills, with lake sunsets backed by the Eastern Ghats. Overnight stay in Rambha.

Day 6: Rambha – Bhubaneswar Departure

A slow morning by the lake before breakfast. Check out and transfer to Bhubaneswar, around 155 to 165 km and 3.5 to 4 hours by road via NH16, in time for an evening onward train or flight. Overnight journey onward.
