KHANDADHAR WATER FALLS | Water fall in Heights| ROURKELA | KHANDADHAR | Sundargarh | ODISHA | its me

The Khandadhar Falls is located at Nandapani, Bonaigarh in Sundergarh district in the Indian state of Odisha. It is the 12th highest waterfall in India. The Khandadhar Falls is 104 kilometres (65 mi) from Rourkela via Bonaigarh, and 132 kilometres (82 mi) from Kendujhar. It is a perennial horse tail type waterfall. The Korapani Nala, a small stream, plunges from a height of 244 metres (801 ft) in a single drop. There is an interesting legend amongst the Pauri Bhuiya tribals who inhabit the area around Khandadhar.
“A Pauri Bhuiya legend speaks of how their mountains came to be so munificent. The Sundergarh branch of the community was once possessed by a rapacious goddess named Kankala Devi, who consumed trees, soil and everything else. In despair, the Pauri Bhuiya placed her on a rock, which she ate through as well-creating a deep hole from which poured out the Khandadhara (split-rock waterfall). So they had water. Then a couple from the community went to visit relatives at the eastern, or Keonjhar, end of the Khandadhar mountain range. Their prospective hosts were away but a pile of grains had been left outdoors and, amazingly, not even the birds were eating it. Inside the heap, the couple discovered a small goddess, Khand Kumari, protector of the region’s prosperity. They stole her and brought her back to Sundergarh, and so her bounty became theirs.”
Best tourist place and a picnic spot for family and friends. You can view the waterfall closely and the scenic beauty after a good climb of about 600 steps. Not advisable for heart patients and the aged. Nevertheless, you can view the spectacular fall and the serene water, below.Nice picnic spot.. Good to visit on winter days..At least 3 kilometres to 4 kilometres of trekking is required to get to the bottom of waterfall.. But once completed.. You would notice it is worth the effort.. Car parking also available.. Not much shops nearby.. Ensure to carry eatables with you.. Park available for picnic..
