Dharambandha Waterfall
Around 22 km from Khariar in Nuapada district, this seasonal waterfall tumbles through rocky forest terrain and is best visited from July through December when the flow is strong. A short trek gets you to the cascade view and into the cool spray zone — a welcome break on a warm day. The round trip runs just over five hours, making it a solid day trip.
