A cascading beauty

Hidden within the dense forests of Similipal National Park, Joranda Waterfall plunges from a height of around 150 metres, creating a spectacular scene as it crashes down smooth rocky cliffs. Surrounded by lush greenery, it is one of the most striking waterfalls in Odisha, with its waters forming a mist that rises beautifully on sunny days.

A majestic and tranquil escape

Joranda is a perfect place if you love untouched natural beauty. Unlike more crowded spots, it offers a sense of isolation and calm. The waterfall is best visited during the monsoon and post-monsoon months when the flow is at its fullest and most breathtaking.

Other activities to do there

Apart from sitting by the waterfall, trekking through the forest trails leading to Joranda is very enjoyable. You can also picnic along the streams, enjoying the sounds of water and chirping birds. The area is rich in birdlife and butterflies, making it ideal for bird-watching and photography. You can also take a refreshing dip in nearby streams and natural pools.
