The waterfall at Khandadhar beautifully captured by Sanjoy
One of the astoundingly beautiful spots in Orissa, this water fall is situated some 60 kilometers from Rourkela. on the other side of the hill is Barsuan iron mine. Here water falls from a height of 1892 feet. The name is "khandadhar" because the fall is so sharp it can cut the rocks and the cliff is so sharp that it can be compared to the edge of the swaord. A much neglected tourist spot in Orissa, only people living in nearby areas and towns go there to have picnic during winter months particularly before and after the New Year.The forest was earlier the house of many wild animals but due to deforestation only some wild elephants and jakals can sometimes be seen now a days. The water from the fall collects to form a small river and merges with river BRAMAHNI. A beautiful place for every one. People of Orissa go out of the state to other places but many don't know the scenic beauty of Khandadhar. Of course, in Orissa, there are many such interesting and scenic places .Now under the patronage of the local Member of Parliament Sri Jual Oram the the place has taken a new shape with much improved communication facilities.I strongly recommend you to visit this place.
