"We stayed 2 nights at Desia Social Resort at Bantalbiri (about 30 Kms from Koraput in Odisha). It was very different and nice. The facility is managed entirely by local people. Though there will be linguistic hurdles to explain and understand, the staff made adequate efforts to communicate. The premium huts have been very tastefully built and every part of the place is a reflection of the skill and art of the local tribal people there. This is not a activity resort. Other than stay in an exquisite hut and excellent food made by the staff, there is nothing to do, other than step up and explore the areas around. 12 KMS ahead was the Duduma Falls. The visit is meaningful only if you take the trouble to trek 300m from the view point to actually reach the river. That trek makes the visit to Duduma worthwhile. Behind Desia resort, in 100m is an excellent riverside rock point where you can sit and enjoy the nature. Visit some of the nearby villages to get a closer look at the lives of the local people. The roads to this places are excellent and we were pleasantly surprised to see good roads throughout of Odisha tour. 2 days at Desia Koraput, and it was worth it for the sheer beauty and simplicity that is in the place. Recommended for people seeking immersive experiential tourism."
