Khandadhar Waterfall
Around 32 km from Banspal in Kendujhar district, Khandadhar Waterfall drops dramatically from a forested plateau and is widely considered one of Odisha's highest falls. The short trek to the cascade spray zone is manageable in an afternoon, and shade and parking are both available on site. It's a solid day trip at roughly five and a half hours return, best tackled between July and December when the falls are at full force. A small entry fee applies — see the fast facts for the current rate.
