East India's Famous Waterfalls
East India’s Famous Waterfalls have many hidden waterfalls that beautifully blend serenity with scenic charm. Nestled amid dense forests, rolling hills, and rocky landscapes, these cascades, both grand and gentle, bring the raw, refreshing spirit of nature to life. Some thunder down cliffs, while others flow quietly through forested valleys, creating the perfect backdrop for a peaceful escape.
Barehipani Falls
Height:~399 m
Location: Mayurbhanj dist., Odisha
A dramatic two‐tier cascade plunging over the Meghasuni mountain in the Eastern Ghats, surrounded by dense forest. One of India’s tallest waterfalls and the highest in Odisha; the forest‐backdrop, wild terrain and remoteness give a true immersion in nature. Visiting here adds a “deep forest, tall drop” experience to your trip.
Khandadhar Falls
Height: 244 m (804 ft.)
Location: Bonaigarh, Odisha
The fall is set in the forested terrain of the Eastern Ghats, where the stream descends sharply, forming a slender, elegant cascade, noted locally for its “sword-shaped” appearance. Khandadhar offers a contrasting feel to Barehipani: while still high, its more slender, elegant form and forested approach give a calmer, slightly less dramatic but still striking experience
Lodh Falls
Height: 143 m (~469 ft.)
Location: Latehar dist., Jharkhand
The waterfall lies deep in forested terrain on the plateau edge, with the river descending into a forest gorge. Its mid-forest location gives it a secluded, wild feel. Lodh Falls is the highest waterfall in Jharkhand and offers a blend of water-feature and forest retreat. This makes it appealing for eco-tourists who want to combine the impact of vertical water descent with less-trod forest paths
Sana Ghagara Waterfall
Height: 30 m (~100 ft.)
Location: Keonjar, Odisha
It lies on the San Machakandana River, amid mixed deciduous forest on a hilly terrain. The site has been developed a bit for ecotourism and picnic use. It is relatively smaller, the atmosphere is more relaxed, ideal for a day outing, picnic, or a nature walk rather than intense trekking. You’ll appreciate the gentle drop, the woodland surroundings, and the blend of forest + water without massive crowds.
Lawapani Waterfall
Height: 9 m (~30 ft.)
Location: Lohardaga, Jharkhand
The waterfall is situated within a forest setting, on the South Koel River (or tributary), and has become a local picnic destination. Despite its modest size, the surroundings give a tranquil escape. It’s small and easily accessible, Lawapani Waterfalls offers a quieter and more relaxed experience than the major high-drops. It’s ideal for families or travelers seeking nature without heavy trekking
