Hidden deep in Similipal National Park lies one of Odisha’s best-kept secrets – the majestic Brahman Kund waterfall. Cascading 29 meters off the forested Girisrungha hills, the milky white torrents crash into a perfectly tucked-away plunge pool surrounded by nature’s bounty. Just an hour’s drive from Baripada and half an hour from Bangriposi, this secluded corner of Similipal offer visitors a chance to swim, picnic, and unwind alongside gushing rapids far removed from civilization and the modern world.
Whether you’re seeking to photograph the rolling falls set against emerald hills or spot native wildlife on a jungle trek, Brahman Kund lets you revel in the wild heart of eastern India. As the notoriety of this once-concealed gem spreads, Odisha’s Forest Department has begun cultivating nature-centric tourism. From parking lots and shelters to the plush Khairi Niwas guest house perched atop Brahman Kund’s cascades, the state is promoting intimate eco-stays for domestic travelers and foreigners alike. Tick this haven off your bucket list before the crowds roll in!
