Kapilash Sunset Ridge
About 10 km from Dhenkanal, Kapilash Sunset Ridge is the natural complement to the sunrise point — an evening viewpoint on the Kapilash hill circuit where the fading light over the forested landscape makes for a relaxed end to a day out. The access is moderate, so a bit of planning for the drive helps. October through March is ideal, with clear skies and comfortable temperatures for the easy hike. There was no entry fee at last update, and parking is available.
