Gorumahisani Range

The Gorumahisani hills rise in northern Mayurbhanj, beyond the forested Simlipal uplands. Their ancient rocks include bands of iron-bearing quartzite and deposits of hematite, shared with the neighbouring Badampahar range. Valleys and cultivated land lie between the wooded ridges, including the Bamanghati country around Rairangpur. These hills form part of the old geological landscape linking northern Odisha with the adjoining Singhbhum uplands.
