Gopalpur and Daringbadi tour and travel plan from Kolkata

Daringbadi is a unique place having hills, forests, and rivers. I visited Daringbadi with my family via Brahmapur. We took an overnight train from Kolkata Santragachi station and reached Brahmapur in the morning.

En route, we visited the Ghanteshwar mandir and Sorada Reservoir and Dam on the first day. After resting in our hotel, we went sightseeing. On this journey, Mr Ravindra (Phone – 80004-01544) was our driver. He has good control of the car and knows about Daringbari and Gopalpur. Refer my name and ask him for additional discounts.

The first place I visited was Daringbadi Coffee Plantation. We saw coffee fruits & black pepper plants there. I purchased coffee and black pepper.

The next destination was Daringbadi Nature Park (Butterfly Park). It had many statues of animals & humans. Just in front of Butterfly Park was Hill View Park.

Afterwards, we visited Silent Valley (Sunset Point); the sunset was not visible because of cloudy weather. My first day at Daringbadi ended on a beautiful note.

We started our tour from Daringbadi Lover’s Point on the second day. The beauty of this place was mesmerizing. Greenery surrounded it & a stream ran across. Afterwards, I reached Madhuban Emu Park, and from there, we proceeded to see Mandasaru Waterfall.

The journey down passed through a problematic rocky route. But the beauty of this waterfall is worth the trouble. To have our lunch, we reached Mandasaru Valley Nature Camp (bookings are done online, cost INR 5000/ 2 person approx).

From the terrace of this resort, we sighted Magnet Hill. They say that the magnet comes from this hill, and thus aeroplanes don’t fly over it.

On the third day, we left our hotel early at 06:00 am to visit Gopalpur Beach. En route, we first sighted Midubanda Waterfall, for which you must climb 130 steps. Then, Bamuni Devi Waterfall, and from there, our next stop was Jiranga Buddhists Monastery. This monastery gave me a feeling of being in Ladakh.

Afterwards, we visited another fall called Khasada Waterfall (this place was littered with garbage due to lack of maintenance). Later in the day, we saw a temple at Taptapani Hot Springs.

After lunch, I finally reached Gopalpur. The beach was right in front of our hotel, and Gopalpur beach was less crowded. We enjoyed many rides, including a jet ski (INR 500/ person approx) & banana boat (INR 200/ per person for 10 minutes). There were many food stalls around the marine drive.

For our 4th day, we first travelled to Barakul to enjoy boating on Lake Chilika (INR 1100 for ten people). Then we reached Kalijai Island (in the middle of the water), which houses a 500-year-old Kalijai Mandir.

Afterwards, I went boating for a second time at Ramba (INR 1000 approx). There, I spotted Breakfast Island. It’s believed kings had breakfast on this island in olden times. Nearby was the Ghantashila Hill, formed of stones, where Lord Shiva (Siddheshwar) is worshipped.

After lunch, I left for Taratarini Temple, which is reached by a ropeway (INR 60 approx). Taratarini temple is at a climb of 999 steps; from there, River Rishikulya is visible. After on the same day, we went to Puri.
