The temple is located in a hilltop. The roads are amazing and parking spots are also there. The scenic beauty of the nature is mesmerizing. It's a definitely worth visit.

A very beautiful temple located at a breathtaking location. Just 24 from Berhampur, this temple is located between the serene hills of the eastern ghats. It remains untouched from civil populace and thats the reason, temple is clean and well maintained. Caution is to be exercised while taking photographs over the steep rocks located next to the temple. Designated picnic spots are located near temple to prepare and have meals. Good parking for 4 wheelers and two wheelers available for a marginal fee of ₹ 20. Roads are Very Good and Views are Awesome while traveling through the Hill.

The experience of this place amazing. You will enjoy the scenery and also the temple. Prasad is also available here. As it is a hill station you have to drive carefully. This is a place you must visit once in life time.

This place is so beautiful i never imagined. Balakumari temple is situated on the top of the Kerandimala mountain, and it is 204 km from Bhubaneswar, 9 km distance from Chikiti and 37 km distance from Brahmapur in the District of Ganjam. There are around 300 steps you have to climb to reach the hill top. Balakumari hill station is a wonderful place for a picnic. There is a Shiva temple and a big Shiva Linga located at the foothills of the Balakumari Mandir. There is also good space for parking for both 2 wheelers and 4 wheelers. The hill top view is that awesome and breathtaking. You will feel the hill top experience and slow breeze.

One of the most beautiful and hidden place of odisha. Situated around 40km from the Berhampur City takes hardly 1hr drive to reach there. You have two option either climb stairs to reach the hill top of take your vehicle to the top. If you choose to take your vehicle then for Bike its 10rs and for car 20rs. Parking is free. From the spot you take 200 stairs and reach the temple. We went when it was raining and the views were just mesmerising. The top was covered with cloud created a view to just sit and watch for hours. Road to the top of mountain is very stiff one has to be very careful while driving. You will enjoy every seconds you spend here. Amazing place Recommended 👍👍👍👍👍

Beautiful place. New bike riders not recommended to ride this kinda hilstation. Very Zigzag, blakpoint roads makes horrible. But once you reached top of the hill, it's worth it. Just let me know your thoughts. Have safe ride.

A very nice spiritual place to visit. If you go with your grand parents then i m sure they are going to love this place. Moreover you will love the journey to the top of hill where the temple is present. All the things are well managed by the temple organization. And yes to reach to the top u have to climb arround 200 steps.. but the energy spent will be fulfilled by the natural spectacular view of chikiti town 😂

The experience of this place amazing. You will enjoy the scenery and also the temple. Prasad is also available here. As it is a hill station you have to drive carefully. This is a place you must visit once in life time.

We were not willing to visit that place as we never heard of this place from anyone. But couple of local people insist to visit. And its hit the bull’s eye. Surprisingly it was the best place among we visited. I will recommend everyone to visit this place if you are going on trip to Ganjam. The temple is on the peak of mountain. From there we will enjoy the view. Breath taking sceneries. We went there in winter. So couldn’t spend much time as it became evening earlier. Worth visiting.

Nearly 34 km from berhampur....awesome view from the top of temple...avoid coming here on festivals... especially on dushera and other devi- maa festival...very crowded.... evening time is very good to experience the breeze....wonderful place...

An amazing place. Superior experience. Drive high, and take an awesome experience.

Beautiful place for picnics and sight seeing. Development work is still in progress. One thing I didn't like is the cleanliness. You will find lots of biscuit, ice cream wrappers, cold drinks/water bottles every where on the stairs to the temple. Temple administration should focus on this.

The Beautiful Temple located on top of a Hill, will definitely give you goosebumps by seeing the scenery. This temple is located on the top of a hill and can be travelled by 4 Wheelers or 2 Wheelers. But after reaching there, you need to climb around 300 steps to reach the destination. Note: People having Joint Pain, Cardiac Problem, Pregnant Ladies, Old Aged People should Avoid climbing so Many steps. I suggest to have visit during sunrise or sunset time. There is also a huge shiv ling statue at some distance from the location, maybe it has a different route to reach. The below are some photos that I have clicked. The photos aren't clear enough due to the presence of Mist which might be the winter effect as I visited here in November. I saw the sunset and the beauty was at it's peak 🌥🌄

Hill top Shakti Temple. Goddess is know as worshipped by king of Chikiti garh. One more famous Devi Ptta like Taratarini in Gunjam District. Amazing experience and scenery. Must visit People have joint pain and not able to walk much and high asthma patients should avoid it as after car parking nearly 350 stair steps to reach Matta Mandir. Festival times: Chaitra Mah and Aaswina Mah

Beautiful place, hardly 30km from berhampur town. Can enjoy the surrounding beauty with spiritual environment on top of hill.now the connectivity to hill top makes easy reach to the temple.

Pure adventure. Beautiful place. Nice view. Om Namah Shivay.

Wonderful place for picnic and touring. Better go while sunrise and sunset.

The roads are amazing and parking spots are also there. The scenic beauty of nature is beautiful . It's a definitely worth visit. I travelled with my friend to this hill station . It is a great place with lovely hills, lovely surroundings, and active streets. We were treated to a beautiful wonderland. Cloud enveloped the picturesque town of Balakukari . We drove to the nearest hotel , rested for a little, and then headed to the balakumari temple. Its location is renowned for providing beautiful views of the valley. We then visited another well-known Hanuman temple. There were many sights to view in Balakumari, and some of them and some events had a greater emotional impact on us than others, this eye catching experience made me see the beauty in the world.

This is one of the most beautiful valleys of eastern ghats. The temple, unlike many others in Odisha is calm and quiet. Pandits will never bother you for unnecessary donations and Puja. The ghat road, although short but will give you a nice driving experience.

Nice place. Loved the steps in the small forest area. Nice and clean as people were not there. Very peaceful place to sit and relax under the Banyan tree. Well maintained road and premises

If u love hills this place is for you. 40km ride from Berhampur City. The view was fantastic. I have added some pictures u can refer.

Very good place for spending time with your family friends Partner...Roads are very good you will feel like Ooty.... You can do cooking with you friend and family 🔴 Please don't throw waste things like water bottle, icecream cover , chocolate cover Please don't waste the beautiful nature.........

Amazing place , try to go during sunsets or sunrise , then the view will be more pleasing and eye capturing.
