Karlapat Waterfall
About 32 km from Bhawanipatna inside the Karlapat sanctuary in Kalahandi, this waterfall is a popular day out from the city — expect a short trek through forest to reach the cascade and its cool spray zone. The access road is moderate, and shade and parking are available. A small entry fee applies — see the fast facts for the current rate. Unlike most spots in the area, the falls are at their best from July through December when the water is running strong.
