Lulung is one of the entry points to Similipal National Park and is located on its eastern fringes. The other entrance is through Jashipur. Lulung is situated on the banks of the tributary River Palpala. The river has a perennial water flow. The crystal clear water with pebbles of different sizes on its river bed and dense forest on both its sides is an idyllic picnic spot for many nature lovers. The climate at Lulung, located at an altitude of 300 metres, is wonderful. The view of the hillocks in the distance is just as nice. Rolling hills covered in thick forests, distant calls of wild elephants, the sky-kissing Sal trees and the talkative Palpala River would greet you at Lulung. Located 300 m above sea level in the eastern fringes of Simlipal Tiger Reserve, the small village of Lulung is only 20 kilometres from Baripada in Odisha. Spending a few nights in the cottages of Lulung amidst sparkling waterfalls, snaking rivers, frolicking deer and dancing peacocks would rejuvenate you with a renewed life-force.
