Dhenkanal is a quietly scenic district in central Odisha — a land of forested hills, royal palaces and pilgrim temples, and a calm alternative to the busier coast.
What to see
- Kapilash Temple — a hilltop Shiva shrine reached by a long flight of steps or a ghat road, set within a wildlife sanctuary.
- Saptasajya — seven wooded hills with a temple and viewpoints.
- Heritage palaces — reminders of the former princely state.
