Midubanda Waterfall

Midubanda Waterfall is a natural waterfall located near Midubanda village, about 15 km from Daringbadi town in Kandhamal district, Odisha. Surrounded by dense forests and coffee plantations of the Eastern Ghats, it features a cascade flowing over rocky steps. It is one of the key natural attractions around Daringbadi, often called the Kashmir of Odisha, and is best visited during and after the monsoon when water flow is strongest.

Visitors can expect a forested setting with a stepped cascade flowing over rocks into a shallow pool below. The site is reached via a road from Daringbadi followed by a short walk on an uneven forest trail. Surroundings include dense sal forests, coffee and pepper plantations, and hilly terrain. There are no major built structures; the experience is focused on sightseeing, nature observation and photography in a relatively undeveloped natural environment.
