Panchalingeswar Waterfall
About 30 km from Nilagiri in Balasore district, this seasonal cascade tumbles through rocky hill terrain and rewards visitors with a cool spray zone at its base. A short trek is involved, so wear decent footwear. The falls are best experienced from July through December when water levels are strong. A small entry fee applies — see the fast facts for the current rate — and shade and parking are available nearby.
