Podagada Cascade
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.
