Koilighugar Waterfall
Koilighugar Waterfall is situated near Kushmelbahal village in Lakhanpur block of Jharsuguda district. It is a natural waterfall where Ahiraj rivulet falls from a height of approximately 61 meters over a rocky surface.

The waterfall is also a religious place. There is a Shivalingam called Maheswarnath which is submerged in the flowing water and is not visible to the naked eye. Another Shivalingam has been installed outside the waterfall for the devotees to worship. The place is ideal for nature lovers who visit Western Odisha.
