Daringbadi

If you are looking to spend some quiet time far from the everyday hustle of your regular life, then Daringbadi is the ideal place for you. Situated in the Kandhamal District of Odisha, it is an exquisite hill station in Eastern Ghat. At 3000 ft. above the sea level, you will find the place surrounded in thick rain forest, dotted with coffee gardens and green valleys and plateaus. In winter the temperature drops down to zero and sometimes even dew drops freeze in the early hours and forms a white shroud of snow over the valley. Thus Daringbadi is lovingly referred as “The Kashmir of Odisha” often. Its natural splendour and rich cultural heritage even attracts international tourists. BOOKING DETAILS OF DARINGBADI
