Khandadhar Falls
Near Bonai in Sundargarh district, Khandadhar Falls is one of the highest waterfalls in Odisha, dropping through dense forest and hill terrain. The falls are at their most impressive from July through December when the monsoon keeps the water flowing strong, and you can get pleasantly drenched in the cool spray zone nearby. A short trek is involved, and vehicle access is moderate, so be prepared for a bit of an adventure. Shade and parking are available; a small entry fee applies — see the fast facts for the current rate.
