A fascinating glimpse into nature’s power

Barehipani Waterfall, located deep within Similipal National Park, is the tallest waterfall in Odisha, plunging from a height of about 399 meters (1,309 feet) in two breathtaking tiers. Surrounded by dense forests and rolling hills, the waterfall is an awe-inspiring sight, particularly after the rains when it gushes in full force.

A spectacular natural wonder

Viewed from specially created viewpoints, the misty waters of Barehipani against the backdrop of green valleys create a postcard-perfect moment. The waterfall is also visible from jeep safari routes inside the park, making it a highlight of Similipal expeditions.

Other activities to do there

Apart from soaking in the enthralling view of Barehipani, nature walks and short treks around the waterfall are opportunities to experience the forest ecosystem that is full of life. At the same time, photography is a must here to capture the grandeur of the waterfall and the surrounding scenery. The area is also home to various bird species, making bird-watching another enjoyable activity. Visitors on longer safaris may also encounter elephants, deer, and other wildlife in the vicinity.
