    Most beautiful place of Bargarh. Approx 42 km from town. Google map shows exact location. Best picnic spot. But take your food and water along. You'll not find there anything. It's a humble request don't litter this beautiful place by plastic bottles, wrappers, or alcohol bottles. Keep this place clean so u can enjoy later.

    It is a beautiful and calm natural place. The Most interesting thing is the motivation and hard work of the nearby villagers, which are well maintained. They are taking some money from travellers: car- 50/ Bike- 20/ Cycle- 10/ and Bus- may be 70/ for the maintenance. The paintings made on the wall of villagers are the most attractive things, which signifies the "paika bidroha" and many freedom fighters.

    When you’re young, there’s so much that you can’t take in. It’s pouring over you like a waterfall. When you’re older, it’s less intense, but you’re able to reach out and drink it. I love being older. One of the best tourism place in Western Odisha. Name Bara Bakhara Waterfall and Caves address Bichhana, Barghar, Odisha :- 768030. You can go to this place with your friends and family members 🙂. For More grace you go to this place in ❄️ winter season. In between 10-15 km there is a wildlife sanctuary name Debirgh here you visit the sanctuary and enjoy a lot. There was a 🚢⛵🚢⛵ boating facility also available in this place. So go with your family and friends for enjoy the place.

    Wow! I did not know such a serene place exists near to my home. Be cautious as few people recently lost their lives. Water level is unpredictable sometimes, so better stay near to one side, especially where you have your mode of transportation. It’s a very easy walk from down. They charge somewhere around ₹5 to ₹100 as per number of persons and vehicle type. No food option available after crossing Bhatli.

    This is a rain feed waterfalls. But approach may be difficult at that time. At Dec it is almost dry, you can see only track of water. But very beautiful vast area. Good for day outing. Preferably with group. No food or drinking water available at site.

    Memorable and unique place near Bargarh and you won't regret visiting. Below are information about the site, PROS and a few CONS (as cons are few, I am mentioning CONS first): About the place: The place has three main features 1) A large 2-stage waterfall, 2) entirely rocky, flat, and "walkable" hills, 3) Forests on the way to the waterfall and behind the rocky hills. CONS: 1) The main waterfall is crowded and facing the ill-effects of tourism. Some people even bath there and litter the place with soap/shampoo covers, polythene etc. The path leading to the main waterfall is littered with wrappers, plastic glasses, even beer bottles. Seems there is no management to clean up the place. 2) The parking at base of the rocky hills & waterfall is crowded and littered. Too many picnic parties (in December) camping and cooking, and loud music playing. 3) The place, especially the main waterfall, is unsafe if you are not careful. The edge of the 2nd stage of the waterfall is high and steep, with huge boulders at bottom. Still people go to edge for photos (a guy from Govindpali in Bargarh had slipped to his death 6 months back in July). The edge of 1st-stage is steep too, though not that high, and we saw lots of teenaged guys and girls posing for selfie at edge. 4) Be careful of slippery surfaces if you are visiting in rainy season. Most of the place is basically water flowing down in various streams down the rocky hills. Dont' fool around the main waterfall as one mistake will be your last mistake. 5) There are small pools at the 1st stage of the waterfall. They are much deeper than they look, so keep kids and short-heighted people away. PROS: 1) If you are visiting from Bargarh side, the drive itself after Bhatli through Barapahad is one of the most scenic ones. It's all beautiful forests and hills once you take the turn towards "Samardhara". Samardhara itself is worth spending at least 30 minutes at. 2) There's a government park at the entry point to Barabakhra, where you can order meals beforehand at reasonable price (in the meantime you can continue your trip). They even cook for you if you provide the raw material and cooking charges. Even cooking spots are available for a fee in case you are a large picnic party. The restaurant area is quite neat and large, and the staff are super-friendly village ladies. 3) The drive up the hill towards base of Barabakhra is not-so-densely forested, and it's not steep hill. Adventurous people can even walk down the valley. It's worth it! 4) If you are a nature-lover and geology-buff, you will be love the view and appearance of the rocky hills, will marks of water-streams (some streams still carried water in December). These hills have been intact like this for thousands of years. 5) You can go trekking up the hills. As the hills are quite flat and rocky, you can easily walk towards top. The view from the above is terrific. We walked almost 1.5 km, till the forested part started (behind the rocky hills is the Debrigarh Wildlife Santuary. Very few people go up, so it's thrilling and scary at same time. 6) The local villagers are friendly if you can connect with them. They told us about sambar deer, wild boards and axis deer regularly coming down from the hills at morning, attracted to the crops in their field (they were upset about the damage caused by wild boars though). 7) This place is historic -- Indian rebels of Veer Surendra Sai used to camp in these hills during the mutiny of 1857. The government park has a museum area too, dedicated to the rebels.

    Awesome place. I hv visited in the mid of the rainy season (19th Aug 2022) and still Roads are good and four wheelers can easily reach upto the waterfall. Only few steps you have to walk. But after BHATLI your Jio/Airtel network will be dead, (dont know about other networks).

    If you want to visit this you must visit it's amazing...but at the same time it's gives you little disappointment because the villagers try to make comfortable for visitors which make this place less natural

    Amazing place for a picnic spot but children shouldn't be allowed because it can be unsafe as it has high speed flowing water during the rainy season. Best time to visit there is the rainy season.
