Khandadhar (Kendujhar)

Nestled amidst the lush forests of Kendujhar, Khandadhar Waterfall is one of Odisha's tallest and most spectacular cascades. Plunging nearly 500 feet down a rugged cliff in a shimmering, sword-like stream, the waterfall derives its name from its distinctive shape—Khanda, meaning sword. Surrounded by pristine forests and rolling hills, Khandadhar is a haven for nature lovers, photographers, and adventure seekers alike. The breathtaking scenery, soothing mist, and tranquil ambience make it an unforgettable destination for anyone looking to experience the raw beauty of Odisha's wilderness.
