Gupteswar Forest Range
Spreading out around the cave temple complex roughly 74 km from Jeypore, Gupteswar Forest Range in Koraput district offers a different kind of day out — think forest trails, bird-watching, and the occasional wildlife sighting rather than a quick stroll. Vehicle access is moderate, so a sturdy vehicle is advisable. Shade and parking are available, though the amenity list is lighter than nearby spots, so pack what you need. November through March is the sweet spot for a visit; an entry fee in the mid-price range applies — see the fast facts for details.
