Daringbadi Hill Getaway — 2 Day Tour

Kandhamal hills — 2 Days / 1 Night, fixed all-inclusive fare from ₹9,999.

"Kashmir of Odisha" pine & coffee hillsHill View Park & Midubanda waterfallExperienced ghat-road driverMulti-day driver stay included

Daringbadi, in the Kandhamal hills, earns its nickname "the Kashmir of Odisha" — pine forests, coffee plantations and, in winter, mornings cold enough to surprise anyone who thinks of Odisha as only coastal and tropical.

Why this trip needs a hill-experienced driver

The ghat roads into Kandhamal are a different kind of driving than Odisha's coastal routes, so this itinerary is planned with a driver experienced on this specific route and an overnight stay, rather than attempting the roughly 230 km each-way drive in a single rushed day.

Looking for a coastal alternative instead? See our Bhitarkanika wildlife escape or the Gopalpur beach guide.

Package FAQ

Daringbadi Hill Getaway — 2 Day Tour — questions

Itinerary, inclusions and booking.

Why does Daringbadi need an experienced ghat-road driver?

The route climbs through the Kandhamal hills on winding ghat roads, which are meaningfully different from Odisha’s coastal/plains driving — we assign drivers experienced on this specific route, not a generalist city driver.

Is Daringbadi actually cold like the name 'Kashmir of Odisha' suggests?

In winter (December–February), yes — mornings can be genuinely cold with mist over the pine forests, unusual for Odisha. Pack accordingly; it’s a different climate from the coast.

How long is the drive from Bhubaneswar?

Roughly 230 km and 6–7 hours one-way via the ghat roads, which is why this is planned as an overnight trip rather than a single long day.
