Putudi Waterfall

Putudi Waterfall is a natural waterfall located near Putudi village, about 15 km from Phulbani town in Kandhamal district, Odisha. Formed by the Salunki River, the waterfall drops approximately 60 feet over rocky terrain surrounded by dense forest and hills. It is a popular picnic and nature spot, especially during and after the monsoon when water flow is strongest seasonally.

Visitors can expect a wide cascade flowing over stepped rocky formations into a shallow pool below, surrounded by forested hills and mixed deciduous vegetation. The falls spread across a broad rock bed with multiple streams during high flow. Visitors can view the waterfall from natural rocky viewpoints, take photographs, and use the open area nearby for picnicking. Access involves a short walk from the roadside parking over uneven natural terrain.
