Deomali Hills

Deomali, the highest peak in Odisha, sits amid the Eastern Ghats in Koraput district, its summit offering sweeping views over the surrounding tribal hill terrain. The relatively accessible climb, compared to more demanding peaks elsewhere in India, makes Deomali achievable for visitors without extensive trekking experience, while still offering a genuine sense of elevation and accomplishment upon reaching the summit.

As Odisha's highest point, Deomali holds a specific point of pride within the state's geography, and its position within the culturally rich Koraput district gives a visit here added significance beyond the summit view alone, situated as it is amid one of Odisha's most tribally diverse regions.

Deomali's status as Odisha's highest peak has made it a point of specific regional pride, its relatively accessible summit trail drawing visitors from across the state alongside those exploring Koraput's broader tribal cultural landscape.

About 60km from Koraput, roughly 1.5-2 hours by road plus a climb to the summit.
