How To Reach Gudahandi Hills

Jeypore, Odisha, India
Ancient Archaeological Site: Gudahandi Hills is an immensely significant pre-historic site, known for its ancient rock shelters and pictographic paintings that date back to the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods (around 25,000 to 20,000 CE). The name 'Gudahandi' comes from the resemblance of the hills to a 'pot for molasses' (Guda meaning raw sugar, Handi meaning a clay pot). The caves preserve invaluable specimens of early human art. Located near the Ambapani Sanctuary and the Behera rivulet, the site is crucial for understanding the primitive culture of Western Odisha. The paintings predominantly depict human figures, animals (like deer), hunting scenes, group dancing, and complex geometric patterns using natural red and black pigments. The isolation of the hills adds to their mystical aura and preservation.

How to Reach

By Air: Nearest airport is Visakhapatnam International Airport (VTZ) (approx. 340 KMS away). It's a long journey, hire a taxi from VTZ to Kalahandi or Nabarangpur and then to the site.

By Train: Nearest major railway station is Bhawanipatna Railway Station (BWIP) (approx. 87 KMS away) or Nabarangpur (closer by road but less connected). Hire a taxi to the site.

By Road: The site is located in Kalahandi district near the border with Nabarangpur. From Jeypore, take NH326 towards Nabarangpur, then follow local roads. A private taxi is highly recommended due to the remoteness and lack of frequent public transport.

By Local Transport: Local shared vehicles or auto-rickshaws may be available from the nearest major towns like Ampani or Bhawanipatna, but not from Jeypore.
