Hidden Waterfall in Simlipal Tiger Reserve — You Won't Believe This Place! 🌊🐅 (Ep 2)"

Similipal National Park in Odisha is renowned for its stunning waterfalls and the vibrant communities that reside within its boundaries.​ Barehipani Waterfall Barehipani Falls stands as the tallest waterfall in Odisha and the second highest in India, with a height of 399 meters. This two-tiered cascade originates from the Budhabalanga River, offering a spectacular view as it descends from the Meghasuni mountain of the Eastern Ghats. The waterfall is situated within Similipal National Park, approximately 120 km from Jashipur. ​ Joranda Waterfall Located near Barehipani, Joranda Falls features a single drop of 150 meters, making it one of the highest waterfalls in Odisha. The water plunges over a lofty cliff in a single drop, spreading out slightly as it falls. Both waterfalls are prominent attractions within Similipal National Park, drawing numerous visitors to the region. ​ Local Communities within Similipal The park is home to indigenous communities whose lifestyles are deeply intertwined with the forest environment. These forest-dependent communities lead fascinating lives in harmony with nature, relying on the forest and agricultural resources for most of their needs. Other necessities depend on the weekly 'hata' (local markets), which are available for a variety of products, including forest produce, agricultural goods, utensils, and textiles. ​ In recent years, there have been discussions and efforts regarding the relocation of these tribal communities from the core areas of the Similipal Tiger Reserve. While authorities describe the process as voluntary, some locals have expressed concerns about being pressured to leave their ancestral lands. The Forest Department emphasizes that relocation requires the consent of more than 70% of villagers and follows due procedures to ensure it is voluntary. ​ The coexistence of these communities with the rich biodiversity of Similipal highlights the intricate balance between human habitation and wildlife conservation in the region. . .
