Odisha has blessed with some of the best natural landscapes, we have chosen two trekking routes for our adventure Expeditions to explore trekking in Odisha. 

1. Mahendragiri Hill, South of Odisha
2. Saptasajya Hill, Central of Odisha

Mahendrgiri Trekking Tour:

Mahendragiri Mountain is located in the middle of Eastern Ghats in Gajapati District, Odisha. It is popular for its spiritual values and trekking destination. It is a 'Kula Parvata' along with Malaya, Sahyadri, Parijatra, Shuktiman, Vindhya and Malyavaan. In our spiritual books written that Parashurama practiced penance for a long time on the Mahendra Mountain. It is surrounded by hill rocks, thick forest and the natural habitats. From the hill-top trekkers are rewarded with a mesmerizing view of the surrounding area, as the hills look like huge waves amidst the clouds. The calming waters of the nearby Mahendratanaya River, the blue bay on the horizon and the mountain-top scenery are the reason Mahendragiri is a popular adventure destination. The 4,943 feet high peak Mahendragiri is one of the highest spots in eastern India and close to the Bay of Bengal.

There are two routes to reach the peak of Mahendragiri Hill top:

• from Kainpur via Paralkhemundi, Odisha 
• from Singupuram via Manadasa, Andhra Pradesh.

If you start your journey via Paralakhemundi, after reaching Kainpur ( 45 km) go to the base village Burukhat. If you start your journey via Mandasa, go to the base village Gangabada. Both the base villages are the starting point of the trek. It will lead you to Kunti Temple and Ashram. On the way you have to pass through the fields, mud paths and couple of streams. All the way is covered up with bushes, plants and grass. It gives you the magnificent view of the hills and villages that you crossed. After reaching at the Ashram you can take rest at there.

After taking rest you can again start your trail towards the other temples it will take 2 to 3 hour to cover all the temples. First go for the Yudhistar Temple which will on one side of hill. You will find there a statue of Parsuram. Inside temple there is Sivalingam. It is believed that these temples were built by pandavas for worshipping lord shiva and people use to call them after their names. The temple where Kunti worshipped has been called as Kunti temple. Similar is the story with yudishtar, Bheema temples and pandava caves as well. 

A Daru Bramha Temple is in the top and on the way you can find the rocks where the Pandavas use to sit on. There is an Arjuna Cave; it is believed that there is Arjuna did his tapasya. There you can also find a Shiva linga with a serpent hood. It is the best place for nature lovers.
