Sanghagara It is a small (100 ft. high) but beautiful waterfall , suitable for outing. Badghagara It is yet another small (200 ft. high) but exciting waterfall. It is one of the most popular picnic spots of Keonjhar district. Gonasika Surrounded by a series of valleys and wooded hills of varying colours, the place is famous as a center of pilgrimage for the temple of Brahmeswar Mahadev, established on the river Vaitarani. In fact, this is the place from where the river starts flowing. A little away from the point of origin, the river goes under ground (and hence called Guptaganga), only to be seen jumping after a short distance over a stone projection looking like the nostril of a cow. The scenic beauty of the place is simply charming. Murga Mahadeva Situated near the Thakurani Hill in Champua subdivision by the side of a perennial spring. It is famous for the temple of Murga Mahadeva. Ghatgaon About 50 km from Keonjhar towards Cuttack Goddess Tarini holds sway over Her devotees from Her beautiful shrine.
