Simlipal National Park
[edit]Jashipur via NH 6 is normally considered to be the gateway to Simlipal National Park, but it can also be reached from Baripada, which is 50 km away.[2] The normal entry is through the Pithabhata check gate.[3] In addition to wildlife, Simlipal National Park offers views of the waterfalls Joranda Falls and Barehipani Falls.[4]
