Geography & terrain

Daringbadi sits at about 900 metres in the Kandhamal district of Odisha, 100 km from Berhampur and 220 km from Bhubaneswar — the hill station of the eastern ghats, its coffee gardens and pine slopes set in the tribal highlands.

History & culture

The hill station of the region's forests grew as the district headquarters of the Kandhamal hills — the coffee plantations and the tribal melas of the old estate country carrying the highland economy; its modern life is the quiet hill-town tourism of the eastern ghats, its mist, coffee and the tribal bazaars making Daringbadi the 'Kashmir of Odisha' of the tourist posters.
