Gonasika Cascade

0 km

Right at the Gonasika site in Keonjhar, this cascade system along the upper reaches of the Baitarani River is at its most impressive from July through December when water levels are high. The short trek to reach the cool spray zone is part of the appeal, and the whole outing fits neatly into a four-hour round trip. Shade and parking are available, though amenities are minimal so carry what you need. A small entry fee applies — see the fast facts for the current rate.
