Nestled in the lap of the North-Eastern Ghats of odisha, and it is situated 135 km away from Bhubaneswar, & 50 kms away from Kamakhyanagar. This tourist attraction is largely an unexplored place. Jatiapat literally means ‘mist-capped peak’. The verdant landscape of Jatiapat covered with mist and dense forest presents a mind-blowing picture to a visitor. Two streams that begin the journey from the north interior Eastern Ghats converge here to form the river, Ramiala and Gameindhara The sight of the waterfalls gently caressing the rocky, hilly terrain simply soothes your senses.
Jatiapat waterfall doesn't come under the Eco-Tourism Division of the Odisha Govt. There are two main waterfalls in this protected area of Harichandanpur –Telkoi Reserve Forest Range. The first waterfalls are within ½ a km radius; the second one is almost a 40 km away. If you can go further, you can reach Telkoi, situated at a height of 75 metres.
The surrounding dense forest give you an aura of adventure. Jatiapat is an ideal haunt for trekking / hiking and rock climbing. The trekking trail starting from Keranga village can lead you to jungle of Harichandanpur forest range. As you ascend to the top, you will be greeted by the waterfalls, lush greenery, ravines and streams, plantations and exotic wildlife.
#Things_to_Remember
Wear comfortable clothing; also don’t forget your trekking footwear as you have to walk and climb a lot.
Bring some food with you as there are no food stalls inside the forest.
