Orissa
and specifically western Orissa has a number of mountaineering
locales dispersed through out.
The peak mountaineering season begins around April and ends in November although many climbers also attempt climbing in the winter months.
Serious climbers must acquire permits after paying the necessary peak booking fees. They must also get permissions to clear the Inner Line restrictions, import of equipment, camera permits, insurance, medical attention, and evacuation procedures. For mountaineering expeditions, whether Indian, foreign, or joint, permits must be applied to the Indian Mountaineering Foundation at least six months before the departure. It must be remembered that all foreign expeditions must be accompanied by an Indian liaison officer at their cost.
