Gandahati Waterfall
"Gandahati Waterfall, located about 20 km from Mahendragiri near Paralakhemundi, is a serene and lesser-known gem in the Eastern Ghats. True to its name meaning “the gorge where elephants bathe” the waterfall is set amidst dense forests and rolling hills, offering a calm, immersive nature escape.
The cascade flows into a natural pool, creating a refreshing setting ideal for short getaways, photography, and quiet relaxation. With basic access points yet largely untouched surroundings, Gandahati retains its tranquil charm, especially during the post-monsoon and winter months.
For travellers exploring offbeat Odisha, Gandahati offers a perfect blend of scenic beauty, solitude, and raw natural appeal."
