Laupal Reservoir
Fifteen kilometres from Bhuban in Dhenkanal district, the Laupal Reservoir sits quietly among agricultural fields and patches of greenery that look especially lush between November and February. A walk along the dam crest and a look at the spillway are the main draws, and both make for good photographs without needing any special gear. There was no entry fee at last update, and parking is available, so it's an uncomplicated day out that wraps up in under five hours. Easy vehicle access is a bonus if you're driving with family.
