Khandadhar Falls, Sundagarh — India

About this spectacle

Khandadhar Falls in the Sundagarh district of Odisha tumbles dramatically through dense forested hills, sending a powerful curtain of white water crashing into a rocky pool below. The air around the base is thick with fine mist, and the constant roar of the falls reverberates through the surrounding sal and mixed-deciduous forest. Visitors often spot the lush greenery intensified by monsoon rains, and the surrounding landscape takes on a vivid emerald hue during and after the wet season. The trail approaching the falls winds through relatively undisturbed woodland, offering glimpses of birdlife and forest scenery before the dramatic reveal. The falls are considered one of Odisha's notable natural water features, drawing visitors from the region who come to experience the spectacle of water in its most energetic form.
