Mahendragiri is the highest peak of the Eastern Ghats. With about 1501 meters in elevation, it lies in the state of Odisha. It is an ideal place to grow medicinal plants and is home to numerous flowering plants.

It is a biodiversity hotspot and a biosphere reserve with plots of historical importance. The peak is in the Hindu mythologies and Puranas. The second-highest peak in Odisha has a lot of visitors owing to its natural beauty and historical significance.
