Discover the wild beauty of Odisha on the 5N/6D Mahendragiri, Ghodahada & Sonapur Tour, a journey from the sacred heights of Mahendragiri to tranquil Ghodahada and the pristine shores of Sonapur. This immersive itinerary blends mythology, waterfalls, wildlife, and serene beaches, offering a rare, crowd-free escape. Join the 5N/6D Mahendragiri, Ghodahada & Sonapur Tour for an unforgettable Eastern Ghats and coastal experience.

Day 1: Arrival in Berhampur – Transfer to Mahendragiri

Arrive in Berhampur (Brahmapur) and meet our tour representative at the railway station. Set off for Mahendragiri, the second-highest peak in Odisha at 1,501 metres, roughly 85 to 100 km and around 3 to 4 hours by road via Tumba to the Burakhat Pass, followed by a winding 10 to 12 km hairpin climb to the summit. Check in at the Mahendragiri Nature Camp near the top. Spend the evening in the quiet of a working ashram community, cold and still at altitude. Overnight stay at Mahendragiri.

Day 2: The Summit – Ancient Temples and the Triple Peaks

A full day at the summit, revered in the Mahabharata and the Brahmanda Purana as the site where the sage Parasurama meditated, with ancient temples across the mountain’s three peaks said to have been built by the Pandavas. Weather changes quickly here, and a clear view over the Eastern Ghats rewards patience. Overnight stay at Mahendragiri.

Day 3: Descent via Gandahati Waterfall – Transfer to Ghodahada

After breakfast, check out and descend, stopping at Gandahati Waterfall, roughly 30 km from Mahendragiri and one of the few in the region flowing year-round. Continue via Digapahandi to Ghodahada. Check in at the Ghodahada Nature Camp on the reservoir’s edge. Spend the late afternoon at the water – known for its mugger crocodile rearing programme and framed by forested hills – with a boat ride and a fine sunset over the dam. Overnight stay at Ghodahada.

Day 4: Ghodahada Morning – Transfer to Sonapur Beach

A relaxed morning boat ride on the reservoir and a visit to the nearby Ujjaleswar cave temple. After breakfast, check out and transfer to Sonapur (Pati Sonapur) Beach near the Andhra Pradesh border, roughly 50 to 60 km via Berhampur. Check in at the Sonapur Eco Retreat or a beach nature camp. This is the trip’s decisive change of register – from hill temple to wildlife reservoir to an open, largely untouched stretch of the Bay of Bengal. Spend the late afternoon on the sand at the point where the Bahuda river meets the sea, watching the sunset over one of Odisha’s least crowded beaches. Overnight stay at Sonapur.

Day 5: Sonapur at Leisure – Beach, Birds and Fishing Village Life

A full, unhurried beach day. Sonapur is genuinely quiet by regional standards – golden sand, clear water, and none of the crowds of Puri or even Gopalpur. Spend the day swimming, walking the shoreline, birdwatching around the river-sea confluence, or exploring the backwaters and the nearby fishing village to see the rhythms of a working coastal community. Optional motorised boat rides run out to the Sangam point where the Bahuda meets the Bay of Bengal. Overnight stay at Sonapur.

Day 6: Sonapur – Berhampur Departure

A final relaxed beach morning before breakfast. Check out and transfer to Berhampur, roughly 27 to 30 km and around 45 minutes to an hour by road, in time for your onward train. Overnight journey onward.
