Mahendragiri Temple Complex
Perched on a hilltop about 55 km from Paralakhemundi in Gajapati district, this temple cluster is a rewarding half-day trip steeped in history and culture. The site is quite photo-friendly, and a full set of amenities — shade, toilets, drinking water, and parking — makes it comfortable for families and older visitors. Roads are reasonably easy to navigate, so the roughly 7-hour round trip is unhurried. A small entry fee applies — check the fast facts for the current rate before you go.
