The Pottangi Galigabadar Waterfall is a popular tourist attraction located 11 km from Potangi and 55 km from Koraput in Odisha, India. Nestled at the foothills of the Deomali mountain range, the pristine waters of the waterfall originate from hill springs and cascade down multiple levels into a pool below.
The area boasts good accessibility and draws crowds of tourists, especially in winter, for picnics and feasts by the falls. The contrast of the gushing Galigabadar falls against the verdant forests and hills create breathtaking scenery. When cloud cover descends upon the hills on rainy days, tourists are amazed by the sensational views.
Also located near the Andhra Pradesh-Odisha border is the awe-inspiring Rathibali Waterfall, sometimes referred to as Galigabdar Waterfall. A watchtower allows visitors to soak in vistas of the lush greenery and hills. As one of Koraput’s most famous tourist spots, Pottangi Galigabadar Waterfall offers a rejuvenating outdoor experience for travelers.
