Uski Dam Viewpoint
Just 22 km from Baripada in Mayurbhanj district, this dam viewpoint is an easy drive and a good pick for a relaxed half-day outing between November and February. A walk along the dam crest with views of the spillway and the surrounding hills and forests makes for a pleasant hour or two, and it doubles as a decent photo spot. Parking is available on site, and there was no entry fee at last update.
