Jharbandh Forest Trail
Thirteen kilometres from Jharbandh, this nature trail winds through mixed woodland ecosystems in Bargarh district, offering a good chance of bird-watching and wildlife sightings along the way. The cooler months from November to March are when the trail is most pleasant and the forest most active. A round trip runs roughly 4.7 hours, so it sits comfortably within a day out.
