Niyamgiri Viewpoint
Around 22 km from Muniguda in Rayagada district, this viewpoint frames the Niyamgiri hill range in a way that rewards an early start — sunrise and sunset visits between October and March are particularly good. The hike is manageable, and parking is available for those driving up. There was no entry fee at last update, so it's a light-on-the-wallet addition to any Niyamgiri loop. Allow about five hours for a comfortable round trip.
