Curated Multi-Day Hill Itinerary • Private Chauffeur & Cab
Escape the tropical warmth of the coast and ascend into the misty pine forests and coffee plantations of Daringbadi—the "Kashmir of Odisha." This curated 2-Night / 3-Day private taxi tour gives you a dedicated vehicle and seasoned mountain chauffeur for the entire journey. From doorstep pickup at your Puri hotel through scenic ghat road climbs, full local sightseeing, and safe return, experience the Eastern Ghats in supreme comfort.
The PuriTaxi experience
Separate the approach, a local hill day and the return, so Daringbadi has time of its own rather than becoming a rushed long-distance outing.
Puri → two nights in Daringbadi → agreed Puri return
Keep a full local day between the approach and return.
Choose three Puri-based outings when you prefer staying by the coast.

Quick Decision Guide
Our Puri to Daringbadi 2-Night / 3-Day Taxi Package is a complete private vehicle charter designed for relaxed holidaying. Your dedicated car and driver remain with your group across all three days, covering the scenic Nayagarh-Bhanjanagar ghat ascent, all local sightseeing in Daringbadi, an excursion to Mandasaru Silent Valley, and a comfortable return journey. Vehicle options include Swift Dzire, Maruti Ertiga, and Toyota Innova Crysta.
Suggested Road Rhythm
A meticulously paced travel schedule designed to balance scenic driving, sightseeing, and rest.
Your dedicated chauffeur picks you up from your Puri hotel at 6:30 AM in a clean, sanitized AC vehicle. Drive through the scenic rural heartland of Nayagarh with an included breakfast stop at a clean highway eatery. Ascend through the winding Kalinga and Bhanjanagar ghat roads, arriving in Daringbadi by 1:30 PM. Check into your booked resort or eco-cottage, freshen up, and enjoy an afternoon visit to Hill View Park and Sunset Point to watch the evening mist roll over the pine ridges.
Begin your morning with fresh highland air. Your driver takes you to the sprawling State Coffee and Black Pepper Plantation for a guided walk among arabica bushes and climbing pepper vines. Continue to the towering Pine Forest and scenic Lovers Point before descending the forest steps to Midubanda Waterfall. After lunch, embark on an excursion to the breathtaking Mandasaru Gorge ("Silent Valley of Odisha") to walk the cantilevered canopy bridge. Return for a cozy evening campfire at your resort.
Enjoy a relaxed breakfast surrounded by hill vistas. Check out of your resort at 9:30 AM and visit the local Emu Bird Farm and Dasingbadi stream. Begin the scenic descent through the ghats, pausing for lunch at Bhanjanagar. Arrive back at your Puri hotel by 6:00 PM—or opt for a convenient drop at Bhubaneswar Railway Station or Airport if your holiday is concluding.

Traveling 255 kilometers into the highlands of Kandhamal requires dependable, high-quality transportation. When you book PuriTaxi’s 2-Night / 3-Day Daringbadi tour package, you receive a dedicated vehicle that remains exclusively assigned to your family for the duration of the trip. There are no daily kilometer quotas that leave you stranded, no arguments about air conditioning on hill climbs, and no hidden driver night charges.
Our chauffeurs are carefully selected for their mountain driving experience, courteous demeanor, and deep familiarity with Kandhamal district. They know the cleanest roadside restaurants with family restrooms along the Nayagarh highway, the best roadside stalls for authentic hot Odia snacks, and the exact local timings when coffee gardens and waterfalls are least crowded. Having a dedicated local driver ensures your holiday remains completely stress-free.

Choosing the right vehicle category for your party size ensures everyone travels comfortably. For couples and solo travelers, the Swift Dzire sedan provides a smooth, economical ride with ample boot space for two medium suitcases. For families of four to five passengers, the Maruti Ertiga is our most requested option, offering generous legroom, flexible folding rear seats, and separate rear air conditioning vents.
For travelers who prioritize premium comfort, especially elderly parents or children who may be sensitive to mountain winding roads, we strongly advocate the Toyota Innova Crysta. Its celebrated ladder-frame chassis, plush independent suspension, and high ground clearance absorb road bumps effortlessly, while its powerful diesel engine tackles steep ghat inclines without hesitation. For larger family reunions or travel clubs of 10 to 14 guests, our luxury Force Tempo Travellers provide the ideal group transport.
Odisha Travel Expert Insights / Part 03
While our standard itinerary begins and ends at your hotel in Puri, we offer complete flexibility to customize your endpoints. Many guests choose to start from Puri and finish on Day 3 with a drop at Bhubaneswar Airport (BBI) or Bhubaneswar Railway Station (BBS) to catch their onward evening flight or train, avoiding backtracking to Puri.
Please note that this package is a private transport charter; hotel accommodations, meals, and attraction entry fees are chosen and paid independently by the guest, ensuring you can stay at the property of your choice—whether an eco-cottage, a hill resort, or a budget homestay.
