Podagada Cascade

0 km

Tucked near the historic Podagada archaeological landscape in Nabarangpur district, this cascade system is best experienced from July through December when the water is running well after the rains. A short trek is involved, so comfortable footwear is a good idea, and the cool spray zone near the falls is a welcome reward on warmer days. A small entry fee applies — see the fast facts for the current rate. Shade and parking are available, but pack your own food and water.
