Midubanda Waterfalls

Midubanda Waterfall stands as the crowning jewel of the Kashmir of Odisha, and lies approximately 16 km from Daringbadi and 118 km from Phulbani. A lush canopy of tropical moist deciduous forest envelops this breathtaking site, where the air remains cool and the environment tranquil. To reach the falls, visitors embark on a scenic descent of 187 stairs from the parking area, a journey that leads deep into a verdant ravine where the water cascades elegantly over multiple rocky formations, creating a series of picturesque natural slides and pools.

The waterfall is celebrated for its pristine, crystal-clear streams that offer a "natural shower," making it an irresistible spot for a refreshing bath in a stunning wilderness setting. Because of its shaded forest canopy and calm atmosphere, Midubanda has become a premier destination for nature lovers and group picnics, particularly during the winter and post-monsoon seasons (July to February) when the water flow is most majestic. Whether you are trekking through the shaded forest paths or capturing the beauty of the multi-tiered falls, Midubanda Waterfall provides a peaceful retreat that perfectly captures the raw, ecological charm of the Kandhamal district.
