Nilgiri Hill Cascade
Formed by streams descending through the Nilgiri hill range in Balasore district, this cascade system is best caught in full flow between July and December when the rains keep it lively. A short trek to reach the cool spray zone is part of the appeal, so wear footwear you don't mind getting wet. Shade and parking are available, though the access road is moderately demanding — check your vehicle before heading in. A small entry fee applies; see the fast facts for the current rate.
