Dokarichanchara Viewpoint
Around 18 km from Bhawanipatna in Kalahandi, this overlook opens up to rugged hill terrain and forest valleys that look especially good in the clear winter light from October through March. The hike to the top is on the easier side, and sunrise or sunset visits are worth the early start or patient wait. Parking is available at the site. There was no entry fee at last update, which makes it a low-fuss addition to a day out in the area.
