Putsil Valley

Putsil is a scenic highland valley in Koraput district, known for its dramatic mist-covered landscape, lush green hills and sprawling coffee and pepper plantations. It sits at an elevation that causes morning mist to blanket the entire valley, creating a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere.

The valley is also home to traditional tribal communities of the Eastern Ghats. Visiting Putsil offers a rare glimpse into the traditional way of life that has remained unchanged for generations. Handwoven crafts, tribal markets and ancient customs are all part of the authentic Putsil experience.

For nature lovers and photographers, the visual contrast of green plantation fields disappearing into white mist, set against the backdrop of forested hills, makes Putsil one of the most photogenic destinations in Odisha.
