6N/7D Mahendragiri, Jiranga, Daringbadi & Gopalpur Tour

Escape to Odisha’s misty hills and sun-kissed shores on the 6N/7D Mahendragiri, Jiranga, Daringbadi & Gopalpur Tour. From the sacred heights of Mahendragiri to the serene Tibetan enclave of Jiranga, the cool forests of Daringbadi and the tranquil beach of Gopalpur-on-Sea, this 6N/7D Mahendragiri, Jiranga, Daringbadi & Gopalpur Tour blends spirituality, nature, and relaxation.

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. Overnight stay at Mahendragiri.

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

A full day at the summit, revered 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 Jiranga (Chandragiri)

After breakfast, check out and descend, stopping at Gandahati Waterfall, before continuing via Digapahandi and past the Taptapani sulphur hot spring to Jiranga, popularly known as Chandragiri or “Mini Tibet.” Check in at a simple guesthouse in the Tibetan settlement. Visit the Padmasambhava Mahavihara, the largest Buddhist monastery in eastern India, and spend the evening in the settlement’s quiet, terrace-farmed valley. Overnight stay in Jiranga.

Day 4: The Long Transfer – Jiranga to Daringbadi

After an early breakfast, check out and begin the trip’s longest and most demanding single transfer, crossing remote, lightly travelled rural Odisha between the Gajapati and Kandhamal hill districts. Plan this as a full day devoted entirely to the road, with a very early start and no activity alongside it. Arrive in Daringbadi in the evening and check in at the Daringbadi Nature Camp or a hill resort. Overnight stay in Daringbadi.

Day 5: Daringbadi Sightseeing – Pine, Coffee and Valley Viewpoints

A full recovery day among Daringbadi’s spread-out sights: the pine jungle and coffee and pepper plantations, the Emu farm at Kirikuti, Lover’s Point where the Doluri river winds through the valley, the Butterfly Park, and the sunset viewpoint. In peak winter, dawn can bring frost. Overnight stay in Daringbadi.

Day 6: 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. Check in at your beachfront hotel or the OTDC Panthanivas. Spend the afternoon and evening on the calm, swimmable golden sand, ending at the colonial-era lighthouse for a view over town and the Bay of Bengal. Overnight stay in Gopalpur.

Day 7: Gopalpur – Berhampur Departure

A final relaxed beach morning before breakfast. Check out and transfer to Berhampur, a short 16 km and around 30 to 40 minutes by road, in time for your onward train. Overnight journey onward.
