Mahisapat Hill
Around 12 km from Dhenkanal, Mahisapat Hill is a low forested hill that rewards an easy hike with solid panoramic views of the surrounding area. Sunrise and sunset both work well here, and the cooler months from October through March are the most comfortable for the climb. Access is moderate rather than straightforward, so a sturdy vehicle helps. There was no entry fee at last update, and parking is available at the trailhead.
