Mandasaru Valley

Mountains and Valleys

The dense tropical moist deciduous forest surrounds the Mandasaru Gorge ecosystem, which lies in the eastern part of Kandhamal District of Odisha, and is one of the last-kept-secret wildernesses of India. It is considered the Silent Valley of Odisha due to its frequent weather changes, mesmerizing beauty, and rich biodiversity. This 15 km stretch is guarded by 22 hills positioned one after another, with the Saashimaha Manda Hill recording the highest peak at 3280 feet above sea level.

The accommodation Mandasaru Valley Nature Camp is located at the hilltop with a panoramic view of the Mandasaru Gorge. There are two watch towers, a children’s park, a plantation, a dining hall, four cottages, a watch tower room, and even a grotto within the resort area.
