Deomali
Deomali stands as the highest peak in Odisha and sits right in Koraput district, meaning there's no drive from the nearest town of the same name. The hike is manageable and the panoramic view from the top — especially at sunrise or sunset — is well worth the effort. October through March keeps conditions pleasant for the climb. There was no entry fee at last update, and parking is available at the base.
