Nawana River Cascade
Right in Nawana within the Similipal landscape of Mayurbhanj, this cascade system is formed by river and stream channels tumbling through forested terrain. The cool spray zone makes it especially rewarding from July through December when water flow is strong after the rains. A short trek gets you to the best views, and shaded parking eases the start of the visit. A small entry fee applies — see the fast facts for the current rate.
