Patora Reservoir Viewpoint
Perched about 18 km from Nuapada, this viewpoint gives a wide panoramic look over the reservoir waters and the hills rolling around them — worth timing for sunrise or sunset if you can manage it. The hike up is straightforward enough for most family groups, and the season stretches a little longer here, from October through March. Parking is available at the base. There was no entry fee at last update, making it an easy add-on alongside the reservoir itself.
