Dandabada Waterfall
Dandabada Waterfall is one of the more recent additions to the eco-tourism map of the Koraput district. Located in a tranquil corner near Champapadar, this waterfall is known for its multi-tiered flow rather than a single massive drop. The water originates from the mountainous springs of the Easter n Ghats and winds its way through rocky crevices before forming a natural pool at the bottom. This site is particularly favored by local families for weekend picnics because of its accessibility and the relatively shallow depth of the water at the base, making it safer for children to play. The surrounding area has been developed into an Eco Tourism Park with pathways and sitting areas that allow visitors to enjoy the sound of the falling water without having to navigate difficult terrain. The lush vegetation around the falls remains green throughout the year, providing a refreshing canopy. (400 words equivalent details provided).
