One of the major picnic spot called Rampaluga located in the western ghats of the odisha surrounded by the lust of greenery,dizzyiness of mountains, high coconut & palm woods enbounding the major river called mahanadi covering a diameter more than 100km of land area.
From jharsuguda town, you have to move towards lakhanpur from there u have to take road for adhapara road via soldia, karlajori village.After reaching adhapara just take straight road which connecting to rampaluga.This site is located on outskirts of rampaluga village. U can easily guess the road by visible site of approaching water level while getting closer to the place.
Through out the year the level of the water bodies remains constant i.e. around 600 mtr depth & only in the intense summer seasons its water level moved back to some meters. Because of its abundant water availability, moderate climate, calming environment it emerges as a lifeline system for varity of woods & different types of flora & fauna, which ultimately provides livelihood to the many fishery communities & also provide direct or indirect occupation to many peoples. The warm, soothing & majestic prominence of hills spell bound your eyes & heart. This foothills inhabits many variety of animals & living creature which i find fascinating during my trekk time.
