Kandhara Waterfall
Kandhara Waterfall, around 28 km from Kuchinda in Sambalpur district, is a forested, rocky setting where you can take a short trek down to a cool spray zone and enjoy the cascade view. It's a satisfying day trip that works well from July right through December, with the falls at their best after the monsoon. Access is moderate, so a sturdy vehicle helps, and shade and parking are available on site. A small entry fee applies — see the fast facts for the current rate.
