Deomali peak, with an elevation of about 1,672 metres from sea level, is the highest peak in the state. It is situated close to Doodhari village, 35km from Koraput. The beauty of the hill range and picturesque 5km-long flat surface atop the mountain, where an ‘m’ shaped peak can be spotted, would leave a lasting impression on a visitor’s mind. The best time to visit the hills is either during summer or winter. Only during the rainy season, tourists can face problems due to bad roads at certain patches.“Travelling to Deomali during the day time is safe and visitors can enjoy the most in winter and early summer days up to March,”
