Rayagada Sunset Ridge
About 6 km from Rayagada, this popular hill viewpoint looks out over the Nagavali basin and draws people for both sunrise and sunset. The hike up is easy enough for most, and the open forest-and-hill setting feels refreshing from October through March. There was no entry fee at last update, so the only real cost is getting there — parking is available once you do. Access is moderate, so a sturdy vehicle or two-wheeler handles it comfortably.
