Sapua Dam
Sapua Dam, about 22 km from Jajpur Road, sits amid low hills and has become a reliable local picnic spot over the cooler months — November to February is the best window. Walking the dam crest and watching the spillway are the main draws, and it photographs well on a clear day. There was no entry fee at last update. Parking is available, so getting a group out here is straightforward enough.
