Situated 80 KM away from Koraput, Gupteswar Temple is a must visit cave shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. Besides being a popular Hindu temple, the place also has a lot on offer for any nature lover.
Koraput, a land blessed with incredible nature and innocence had always been a dream destination for me. It sports an endless vista filled with greenery, wildflowers, waterfalls and dense forests, everything that a nature lover would drool over.
The air is so clean that it almost tastes sweet and the views are completely free of any kinds of distractions. Most of Koraput is clear, pure, and exactly as nature had created it without any human adornment.
Unmatched natural beauty, breathtaking vistas and friendly people are some features which are common to many himlayan towns, but Gangtok, the Capital of Sikkim, has much more to offer besides just Nature’s bounty.

Perched at 14000 ft above sea level, “Dosa By The Way”, in Thangu, Sikkim; is the highest dosa point in the world. Operated by the Indian Army’s Madrass regiment, this place serves delicious Mysore Masala Dosa and few other lip smacking delicacies round the year, sometimes in sub zero temperatures.
Darigbadi is undoubtedly the coldest place of Odisha, so much so that whether there was Snowfall in Daringbadi or not has lately become the parameter of deciding if the winter was strong enough. In my eyes however, the raw natural beauty of the place is what makes it a must visit for everyone.
Perched atop 3000 ft, this quite hill station of the eastern ghats, is blessed with thick rain forest, coffee garden and green valleys all around. Even the roads are as scenic as they can get. Meandering through a think cover of green, with hills and valeys playing hide and seek with every passing kilometre, one can only praise the person who coined the term Kashmir of Odisha, to describe this gem.
