Devkund Trailhead
At 38 km from Nilagiri in Balasore, the Devkund Trailhead is the furthest-flung access point into the Devkund forest region, but the roughly six-hour round trip is still doable in a day. November through March are the best months, when the forest trails reward walkers with bird-watching and wildlife sightings. Shade and parking are available at the entry point. A small entry fee applies — the fast facts carry the current mid-tier rate.
