Maa Maninaga Temple

The temple in the foothills is at renovation stage, so not much to see. But if one is up for the adventure, should take trip to the hill top where the original deity resides. The road is a steep ride with some real dangerous curves. 2 wheelers might be easier but unless one is confident should not attempt the drive in the later. But there are professional vehicles for hire at ₹500/- and professional drivers (to drive up in your own vehicle) at ₹200/- available.
Worth the trip if you have time and a bit of adventurous streak in you.

Splendid a place on the hill top which gives a bird's eye view of the surrounding plain and Ranpur town/Royal Palace/Sri Jagannath Temple. Chilika Lake too is visible from this hill top. Cool place which is worth visiting. Also please go through this intresting historical mythology of Maa Nageshwar Temple. I'm sure you will love to know intresting details about Maa Mani Nageshwar.
Although blacktop Road to the top is available but please avoid driving to the hill top since roads are too steep and with dangerous curves. Take a cab available at the base of the hill. It's worth the cost charged.

Beautiful place to visit,one of the best hill top bit the roads neet to me maintain.Otherwise the view is fantastic and this is absolutely beautiful.

Best view from top of the hill. The view is amazing. Anyone who comes to this place fill like he ad come closer to the nature.

Sunrise and sunset are the best time to visit this place.

One of the best place of Odisha. Amazing Views you will see when you will reach on the top. Road to top also well connected. The temple of Maninaga also beautiful. You will see Complete area of Ranapur on the top.

Excellent place to visit. One of the best places nearby Bhubaneswar (80kms). The road to the top of the hill is amazing. Please be careful while driving.

Tips:
1. Plan to leave from Bbsr at 2:30 PM and ensure you reach by 5:00 PM at the summit.
2. Do not stay there beyond 7:00 PM as it might turn out to be unsafe.
3. You can plan for sunrise too.
4. Prefer going by bike with experienced drivers as roads are very narrow and steep. Avoid Cars. Avoid Bike Tripling.

P.S - You'll feel the ear popping due to altitude difference :)

An amazing place to spend your day with your loved ones.
