Deep in the heart of Odisha lies Similipal National Park, a vast expanse of untamed wilderness that hides some of India’s most stunning waterfall s.
Most travelers know Similipal for its tigers, but the real magic lies in the sound of rushing water echoing through its green valleys.
If you’re a nature lover, photographer, or just someone craving peace — Similipal’s waterfalls will steal your heart.
💦 1️⃣ Barehipani Waterfall – The Pride of Similipal
Height: 399 meters (1,309 ft) – India’s 2nd highest waterfall
The crown jewel of Similipal, Barehipani Waterfall, is nothing short of majestic.
Cascading in two grand tiers through dense sal forests, it creates a thunderous spectacle that you can hear long before you see it.
During monsoon, it transforms into a white veil of mist — a photographer’s dream and nature’s pure symphony.
The name Barehipani means “the water that falls endlessly,” perfectly capturing its timeless beauty.
📍 Location: Inside Similipal National Park, 20 km from Nawana
🕒 Best Time: October to February
🌊 2️⃣ Joranda Waterfall – The Silent Beauty
Just 2 km from Barehipani lies the graceful Joranda Waterfall, plunging straight down 150 meters in a single uninterrupted drop.
Unlike Barehipani’s dramatic roar, Joranda flows quietly — serene, spiritual, and absolutely mesmerizing.
Standing near it, with the forest breeze on your face and birds calling in the distance, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into another world. 🌿
📍 Location: Joranda View Point, inside Similipal Tiger Reserve
🕒 Best Time: Winter months
🌾 3️⃣ Uski Waterfall – The Hidden Gem
Tucked deep inside the forest, Uski Waterfall remains one of Similipal’s least explored treasures.
It’s smaller than the others, but its charm lies in its rawness — untouched, peaceful, and perfect for a quiet picnic or meditation.
If you love offbeat trails, this is your spot. The sound of flowing water mixed with jungle silence makes it feel like your own private paradise.
📍 Location: Near Barehipani area, inside Similipal Reserve
🕒 Best Time: November to February
🐅 Beyond the Falls – The Wild Soul of Similipal
Similipal isn’t just about waterfalls — it’s about life in its purest form.
This is one of the few places in the world where you can spot melanistic (black) tigers, along with elephants, deer, leopards, peacocks, and over 230 bird species.
Recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Similipal stands as a sanctuary for rare flora and fauna — and for those who seek peace in the wild.
