Putsil Valley
Putsil
A highland valley and lookout in the Deomali Hills, where terraced fields, coffee plantations and morning mist come together to form the 'Switzerland of Odisha'.
Putsil lies in the Deomali range, about 40 km from Koraput, with streams, small waterfalls and coffee plantations along the way. Hilltop viewpoints offer sunrises, seas of clouds and layered valleys. In winter, the Odisha Tourism Department operates luxury tent camps, usually open from December to February. Booking in advance on the official website is required. The camps offer trekking, yoga and tribal cultural performances. The mountain roads are narrow and winding, so hiring a car with a driver is recommended. Putsil is only a few kilometers from Deomali Peak, and the two are often visited on the same day.
