Derjang Dam
Only 8 km from Angul town, Derjang Dam is one of those spots that rewards a short drive without asking much in return. Walking the dam crest and taking in the spillway view are the main draws, and the low hills on either side frame things nicely for photos. November through February are the pick of the season here. Parking is available, and there was no entry fee at last update.
