Minajhola Hot Spring
Twenty-five kilometres from Rayagada city, the Minajhola Hot Spring is one of the district's more talked-about picnic spots, drawing families for ghat strolls, a river breeze, and the gentle atmosphere that settles in around evening when the lights come on. The approach road is easy on most vehicles, and the site has shade, toilets, and parking — more practical comforts than many natural spots offer. October through March is the comfortable visiting window. There was no entry fee at last update.
