Jeypore Palace & Jagannath Sagar
ଜୟପୁର
The former capital of the Jeypore princely state, with views of the palace exterior, Jagannath Sagar lake in town and a lively old market. It is also a transport hub for trips to the surrounding area.
Jeypore lies about 22 km from Koraput and was the former capital of the Jeypore princely state. The palace (Raj Mahal, also known as Moti Mahal) is home to descendants of the royal family, so visitors can usually only admire its gateways and halls from outside. Jagannath Sagar in town has walking paths and boat rides around it, and it becomes lively in the evening. Jeypore has more hotels and restaurants than Koraput and an airport, and it is convenient for trips to Gupteswar, Duduma and Kotpad. Many visitors use it as a base.
