Handibhanga Falls

0 km

Handibhanga Falls is a multi-tier waterfall set among forested hills in Keonjhar district, and it earns its reputation during the monsoon and post-monsoon months — July through December — when the cascade is at full flow and the cool spray zone makes the short trek worthwhile. Vehicle access is moderate, so be prepared for a bit of a rough approach. Shade and parking are available. A small entry fee applies — see the fast facts for the current rate.
