Koraput has rail links to Visakhapatnam and Bhubaneswar. The daytime railway from the Andhra side is slow but scenic, climbing through the Eastern Ghats and Araku Valley before reaching Koraput.
By road, Koraput is reached from Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram, Rayagada, and Jeypore by winding hill roads. The drives can be beautiful, especially after the monsoon, but allow extra time and avoid pushing through the ghat sections after dark if you are not used to them.
