Badamul Riverside
Along the Mahanadi about 18 km from Ranapur in Nayagarh district, Badamul Riverside is a forest stretch known for eco-tourism and the chance of wildlife sightings during quiet morning walks. Forest trails and bird-watching give the outing a more active feel than a typical riverside picnic. Shade and parking are available; entry falls in the mid-range tier, so check the fast facts for the current rate. November through March is the most rewarding season for both wildlife and weather.
