Mandira Sunrise Deck
If you're already making the 28 km drive from Rourkela to the Mandira area in Sundargarh district, this viewpoint is worth factoring into your plan — the panoramic view over the reservoir is particularly good around sunrise and sunset. An easy hike gets you there, and the access road is manageable, though not fully smooth. October through March is a comfortable visiting window. There was no entry fee at last update; just parking to note on the amenities side.
