How To Reach Pandi Picnic Spot
Koraput, Odisha, India
Pandi Picnic Spot, also known as the area near Kechala, is one of the most picturesque waterfront destinations in the Koraput district. Located approximately 15 KMs from the main town, it is situated along the vast backwaters of the Kolab reservoir. This spot is a perfect blend of natural beauty an d historical intrigue. The area is famous for the Kechala Dam and the serene environment it creates, making it an ideal location for day-long picnics. Historically, the region holds immense value; an ancient copper plate inscription from 1620 suggests that this land was granted to a scholar named Narasingha Mishra by the Maharaja of the time. Furthermore, Pandi and Kechala are significant centers of Jainism from the medieval period. Visitors can explore the ruins of ancient Jain temples, including a notable 30-foot-high structure that houses images of Tirthankaras like Rishabhanatha and Mahavira. The picnic spot itself is characterized by its wide, calm waters surrounded by rolling green hills, providing a landscape that feels almost like a coastal retreat in the middle of the mountains. One of the main draws for tourists is the opportunity for boating. Taking a boat ride across the reservoir allows you to truly appreciate the scale of the water body and the beauty of the submerged hills. The spot is particularly popular during the winter months when the weather is mild and the water is a deep, clear blue. Families from across the district gather here to cook meals in the open air, a traditional part of the local picnic culture. The tranquility of the place is its biggest asset, offering a stark contrast to the busy market areas of Koraput. Whether you are interested in exploring the Jain heritage of Odisha or simply want to spend a day relaxing by the water, Pandi Picnic Spot offers a multi-faceted experience that caters to all types of travelers. It remains a somewhat offbeat destination, ensuring that it hasn't lost its pristine, natural charm to over-commercialization. :
