Satkosia Gorge Is Odisha’s Spectacular Offbeat Secret You Need To Know About!

Are you the one who simply love wildlife and always ready to check out the rare varieties in fauna and flora? then Satkosia Wildlife tour is perfect for you.Surrounded by the forests of Satkosia Tiger Reserve, on the bank of river Mahanadi “Satkosia Hill Resort” at Kamaladiha Village is on the foothills of majestic mountains facing the Satkosia Gorge of magnanimous Mahanadi River meandering through the golden sand bars. 

Rising from its headwater in Chhattisgarh, the Mahanadi River flows into Odisha through its western border. Passing in a series of rapids, it forces its way through the Eastern Ghat hills giving rise to one of the most picturesque gorges in India, the Satkosia gorge. The name of the gorge originates from the old local measurement of its length, ‘saat kros’ or 14 miles (22 km). Hardly known beyond the state, Satkosia in Odisha can be your next stop if you are looking for an outdoorsy holiday in a lesser known destination.
